The sale of antibiotics and antifungals has skyrocketed since 2020. increasing threat pathogens like ESKAPE bacteria (Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacter spp.), which are effective in evading existing antibiotics, yeasts Candida auris or Cryptococcus neoformans is pressing to develop efficient antimicrobial alternatives. Nanoparticles, especially silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), believed be promising...
Abstract Bacteriophage infections in bacterial cultures pose a significant challenge to industrial bioprocesses, necessitating the development of innovative antiphage solutions. This study explores potential indigo carmine (IC), common FDA-approved food additive. IC demonstrated selective inactivation DNA phages (P001, T4, T1, T7, λ) with EC 50 values ranging from 0.105 0.006 mg/mL while showing no activity against RNA phage MS2. Fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) revealed that...
Bacteriophages have emerged as promising natural antibacterial agents, offering a targeted approach to combating bacterial infections. While phage-antibiotic cocktails are widely explored enhance efficacy and prevent resistance, research on phage-nanoparticle combinations remains limited. However, antibiotic resistance continues rise, necessitating alternative strategies. Combining bacteriophages with nanoparticles presents novel that could potency while reducing the risk of yet studies in...
Abstract Cutting‐edge research in advanced materials is increasingly turning toward the development of novel multifunctional nanomaterials for use high‐tech applications. This uses solid‐state method as a solvent‐free technique to create quantum dot (QD) hydroxyapatite (HA) crystals from bovine bone waste. By incorporating cobalt (Co) and magnesium (Mg) into HA structure, crystallinity hexagonal nanoparticles (99.7%), showing QD enhanced. Oxygen vacancies on surfaces contributed their...
Aims: Ten rhizobial isolates obtained from different locations in Egypt were examined for their ability to survive under stress conditions and growth response increasing levels of NaCl (1–8% w/v), pH (4–10), CaCO3 (1–10% w/v) 12 antibiotics. Methods Results: All the tolerated a concentration up 5% divided into two groups with respect tolerance. The group showed significantly (P < 0·05) better survival high concentration. tested survived acidic (pH 4–5) alkaline 9–10) (up 10% liqued YEM...
Bacteriophages are viruses that attack and usually kill bacteria. Their appearance in the industrial facilities using bacteria to produce active compounds (e.g., drugs, food, cosmetics, etc.) causes considerable financial losses. Instances of bacteriophage resistance towards disinfectants decontamination procedures (such as thermal inactivation photocatalysis) have been reported. There is a pressing need explore new ways phage environmentally neutral, inexpensive, more efficient. Here, we...
The impact of the reaction environment on formation polycrystalline layer and its biomedical (antimicrobial) applications were analyzed in detail. Copper oxide layers synthesized using an electrodeposition technique, with varying additives influencing morphology, thickness, chemical composition. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images confirmed successful polyhedral structures. Unmodified samples (CuL) crystallized as a mixture copper (I) (II), thickness approximately 1.74 μm. inclusion...
