(1) Background: As β-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales are no longer exclusively associated with the health care system, investigating potential risk they pose to integrity of environment and food safety has become utmost importance. This study aimed determine prevalence extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL), AmpC, carbapenemase-producing isolates from retailed raw vegetables if household washing is an effective method lowering bacterial load; (2) Methods: Seasonal (n = 165) were acquired...
To assess ultrastructural changes, alterations in matrix metalloproteinase activity and apoptosis induced by silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) the rat testicle.For 45 days, two groups of animals received different doses AgNPs (0.8 1.5 mg/kg b.w.), a control group was given buffer used as vehicle for AgNPs. At 7 15 days post-treatment, transmission electron microscopy, TUNEL assay, evaluation NFkB, pNFkB, p53, Bcl-2 Nrf2 expressions were performed on removed testes.Transmission microscopy revealed...
Abstract Background Giardia duodenalis is one of the most prevalent and highly diverse human parasites, encompassing a complex eight genetically distinct assemblages, each further divided into sub-assemblages. While in recent years, G. genotype distribution patterns humans have been intensely studied, there still very little information available on diversity genotypes sub-assemblages infecting people Romania. In present study, we investigated genetic asymptomatic patients from Methods Over...
Cornus mas L. extract (CM) presents hypolipidemic, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are considered potent delivery systems may be used to release pharmaceutical compounds at the level of injury. In our study, we gold functionalized with bioactive from (AuNPsCM) in an experimental model a high-fat diet (HFD), assessed their effects on aorta wall but also serum, as compared administration. Sprague Dawley female rats were fed for 9 months HFD. During last...
(1) Background: The study aimed to assess neurobehavioral, ultrastructural, and biochemical changes induced by silver nanoparticles synthesized with Cornus mas L. extract (AgNPs-CM) in rat brains. (2) Methods: included 36 male adult rats divided into three groups. Over a period of 45 days, AgNPs-CM (0.8 1.5 mg/kg b.w.) were administered daily gavage two the groups, while control group received vehicle used for AgNP. After treatment, OFT EPM tests conducted order neurobehavioral changes. Six...
Little evidence has been published regarding the antimicrobial resistance patterns of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) strains in Northwestern and Central Romania. The aim this study was to determine antibiotic pattern H. isolates from gastric biopsies collected patients living Romania using ETEST® GenoType HelicoDR. Gastric were obtained 148 adult patients, 87 women 61 men, majority (131 patients) Sixty-nine detected by both culture PCR; sixty-three negative techniques; one biopsy positive...
This study aimed to investigate the effect of quercetin without intranasal inflammation and oxidative stress in nasal sinus mucosa, but also serum, lungs brain a rat model acute induced by administration lipopolysaccharides (LPS) (from Escherichia coli). Wistar rats were divided into five groups 10 animals each. The control group received an saline solution once/day, for seven consecutive days. Rats 2 3, low-dose (5 μg) high-dose (10 LPS, 4 5, LPS after h, 80 mg/kg quercetin, once/day days...
The relationship between fungal species and their resistance patterns in vineyard soils has important implications for agriculture medicine. This study explored the prevalence of Aspergillus section Fumigati to azole compounds Romanian soils. A total 265 soil samples from various vineyards were screened fungi resistant azoles. isolates exhibited significant itraconazole voriconazole, but no azole-resistant fumigatus strains detected. Six percent positive strains, all which azole-resistant....
