The Influence of L-Lysine-Alpha-Oxidase on the Biofilm Formation of Opportunistic Microorganisms Associated with Inflammatory Diseases of the Urinary Tract.

Urinary tract infections occupy a special niche among diseases of infectious etiology. Many microorganisms associated with urinary tract infections, such as , spp., , , , , , spp.

Evaluation of the Microbiological Effect of Colloidal Nanosilver Solution for Root Canal Treatment.

Background: The goal of endodontic treatment, along with the preparation of the root canal and giving it a shape corresponding to the obturation technique, is the drug treatment of the canal. The aim of this study was to determine the antibacterial effect of a colloidal solution of nanosilver at its various dilutions on root canal microorganism.

Materials And Methods: A solution of silver nanoparticles at a concentration of 10,000 ppm (1.

Enhancement of the antifungal activity of some antimycotics by farnesol and reduction of pathogenicity in a quail model experiment.

Background And Aim: Clinical strains of microorganisms, including pathogenic yeast-like fungi (YLF), are resistant to currently used antifungal agents. Thus, it is relevant to study the combinations of existing antimicrobial drugs and a medicinal extract of plant origin (farnesol). In previous studies, farnesol showed a relatively strong anti-biofilm effect against .

Antibacterial activity of grapefruit peel extracts and green-synthesized silver nanoparticles.

Background And Aim: The gradual loss of efficacy of conventional antibiotics is a global issue. Plant material extracts and green-synthesized nanoparticles are among the most promising options to address this problem. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the antibacterial properties of aqueous and hydroalcoholic extracts of grapefruit peels as well as their inclusion in green-synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs).

A Novel Express Method to Determine Activity of Antitumor Enzyme L-Lysine-α-Oxidase of Trichoderma harzianum Rifai F-180.

A novel express method is developed to determine activity of antitumor enzyme L-lysine-α-oxidase obtained by culturing Trichoderma harzianum Rifai F-180 fungus. The carcinogenic reagent ortho-dianisidine-hydrochloride was replaced in the reaction medium with environmentally friendly reagents of the chromogenic mixture that included tetramethylbenzidine. This method improved precision and sensitivity of ELISA by 10 and 40 times, respectively.
