Hand hygiene is known to be effective in preventing hospital and community-acquired infections. The increasing number of hand sanitizer brands Kenyan hospitals consumer outlets concern. Thus the main aim this study was evaluate anti-bacterial efficacy organoleptic properties these sanitizers Kenya.This an experimental, laboratory-based 14 different (coded HS1-14) available various retail Kenya. Efficacy evaluated using standard non-pathogenic Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922), Staphylococcus...
The emergence of parasites resistant to praziquantel, the only therapeutic agent, and its ineffectiveness as a prophylactic agent (inactive against migratory/juvenile Schistosoma mansoni), make development new antischistosomal drugs urgent. parasite's mitochondrion is an attractive target for drug development, because this organelle essential survival throughout life cycle. We investigated effects 116 compounds mansoni cercaria motility that have been reported affect mitochondrion-related...
Toxoplasma gondii is a protozoan parasite that causes toxoplasmosis and infects almost one-third of the global human population. A lack effective drugs vaccines emergence drug resistant parasites highlight need for development new drugs. The mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) an essential pathway energy metabolism survival T. gondii. In apicomplexan parasites, malate:quinone oxidoreductase (MQO) monotopic membrane protein belonging to ETC key member tricarboxylic acid cycle, has...
