A deep eutectic mixture of choline chloride and citric acid was used for the preparation chitosan bio-films by thermo-compression molding.
New dicyanovinyl-substituted 1-(alkyl)aryl-2-(2'-thienyl)pyrroles 2 were synthesized and characterized. The solvatochromic behavior of the compounds was investigated. All derivatives showed reversible oxidation reduction on CV time scale. hyperpolarizabilities (β) measured using hyper-Rayleigh scattering. results are among highest β values reported for donor−acceptor-substituted thienylpyrroles.
Fabric structures are prone to contamination with microorganisms, as their morphology and ability retain moisture creates a proper environment for growth. In this work, novel, easily processed cheap coating nylon fabric antimicrobial characteristics was developed. After plasma treatment, made render the surface more reactive sites, impregnated chitosan silver nanoparticles by simply dipping it into mixture of different concentrations both components. Silver were previously synthesized using...
Biofilms are key players in the pathogenesis of most chronic infections associated with host tissue or fluids and indwelling medical devices. These hard to be treated due increased biofilms tolerance towards antibiotics comparison planktonic (or free living) cells. Despite advanced understanding their formation physiology, continue a challenge there is no standardized therapeutic approach clinical practice eradicate them. Aptamers offer distinctive properties, including excellent affinity,...
Bacterial biofilms formed by Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa pose significant challenges in treating cystic fibrosis (CF) airway infections due to their resistance antibiotics. New therapeutic approaches are urgently needed treat these chronic infections. This study aimed investigate the antibiofilm potential of various plant extracts, specifically targeting mucoid small colony variants P. S. strains. Moreover, it gain insights into mechanisms action phytochemicals...
The main goal of this work was to examine whether the continuous exposure single and binary P. aeruginosa E. coli biofilms sub-lethal benzalkonium chloride (BC) doses can induce adaptive response bacteria. Biofilms were formed during 24 h then put continuously in contact with BC for more 5 days. six-day-old adapted submitted challenge, characterized inspected by SEM. Both have clearly biomass, polysaccharides proteins less activity even though number cells identical. After treatment,...
ABSTRACT Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) fibers of submicron sizes encapsulating allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) (P f A) were made and electrospun onto the surfaces PLA films. SEM examination confirmed fusion two phases to form a bilayered fiber‐grafted film after underwent air blowing water washing remove nongrafted fibers. The films A‐ g ‐film) retain mechanical properties PLA. release AITC from was temperature dependent. At temperatures lower than 4°C, incorporated remained within without losing...
