Biodegradation of azo dyes by Aspergillus flavus and its bioremediation potential using seed germination efficiency.

The worldwide textile industry extensively uses azo dyes, which pose serious health and environmental risks. Effective cleanup is necessary but challenging. Developing bioremediation methods for textile effluents will improve color removal efficiency.

Bacteriophage therapy as an alternative technique for treatment of multidrug-resistant bacteria causing diabetic foot infection.

Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) represented the most feared diabetic complication that caused the hospitalization of the diabetic patient. DFU was usually characterized with delayed healing as the diabetic neuropathy, angiopathy, and ulcer concomitant infections, among them, are multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria that emphasized the clinical importance for developing new therapeutic strategy with safe and effective alternatives for the antibiotics to overcome DFU-MDR bacterial infection. Bacteriophage therapy was considered a novel approach to eradicate the MDR, but its role in the polymicrobial infection of the DFU remains elusive.
