Candida auris represents an emerging pathogen that results in nosocomial infections and is considered a serious global health problem. The aim of this work was to evaluate the vitro antifungal efficacy Cinnamomum cassia essential oil (CC-EO) pure or formulated polycaprolactone (PCL) nanoparticles against ten clinical strains C. auris.nanoparticles PCL were produced using CC-EO (nano-CC-EO) cinnamaldehyde (CIN) through nanoprecipitation method. chemical profile both nano-CC-EO evaluated SPME...

Background/Objectives: In recent years, antimicrobial resistance has become a major threat to global health, and scientific research aiming identify new therapeutic resources is priority. Essential oils (EOs), obtained from spices belonging the culinary tradition, like Carum carvi essential oil (CC-EO), are of great interest for their activity, but methods used evaluate efficacy need be standardized. The aims this work were following: (i) best microbiological in vitro test; (ii) surfactant;...

Researchers have explored natural products to combat the antibiotic resistance of various microorganisms. Cinnamaldehyde (CIN), a major component cinnamon essential oil (CC-EO), has been found effectively inhibit growth bacteria, fungi, and mildew, as well their production toxins. Therefore, this study aimed create delivery system for CIN using PLGA microparticles (CIN-MPs), compare antifungal activity carried free CIN, particularly against antibiotic-resistant strains Candida spp. The first...

Anemia is a pathological condition in which the hemoglobin and red blood cell mass decrease; it mainly defined by concentration of blood. The World Health Organization guidelines establish specific values to define anemia different population groups. Early detection can also be valuable indicator underlying medical conditions. Clinical studies have explored relationship between perioperative morbidity, highlighting need for more judicious therapeutic strategies, such as use Patient Blood...
