Multidrug-resistant Opportunistic and Pathogenic Bacteria Contaminate Algerian Banknotes Currency.

Currency is one of the most exchanged items in human communities as it is used daily in exchange for goods and services. It is handled by persons with different hygiene standards and can transit in different environments. Hence, money can constitute a reservoir for different types of human pathogens.

Evaluation and quantification of the inhibition of biofilm and planktonic forms of by the polyphenolic extract of .

Analyses of polyphenolic plant extracts have shown significant results when used to control different pathogens. Many of these pathogens are responsible for different infections causing significant public health problems. This work aims basically to determine the efficiency of polyphenolic extract of to prevent biofilm formation by .

Gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry characterization, anti-inflammatory effect, wound-healing potential, and hair growth-promoting activity of Algerian L ().

Objectives: The roots of have been used by the population of Northern Algeria to treat several pathological conditions, including wound healing and hair growth. The present study was conducted to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity, wound-healing potential, and hair growth-promoting activity attributed to root.

Materials And Methods: In this study, we have investigated the anti-inflammatory effect using carrageenan-induced paw edema test, evaluated the wound-healing potential by linear incision wound model, and evaluated hair growth activity using hair growth-promoting test attributed to root.

MALDI-TOF MS Detection of Endophytic Bacteria Associated with Great Nettle (Urtica dioica L.), Grown in Algeria.

Any plant with a vascular system has a specific endophytic microflora. The identification of bacteria is essential in plant pathology. Although identification methods are effective, they are costly and time consuming.

Biological Activity of the L. (Lamiaceae) Essential Oil on Infested Honeybees.

The present work is conducted as part of the development and the valorization of bioactive natural substances from Algerian medicinal and aromatic spontaneous plants, a clean alternative method in biological control. For this purpose, the bio-acaricidal activity of (sage)essential oil (EO)was evaluated against the , a major threat to the honey bee ssp. .

Preventive effect of Xanthoria parietina polyphenols on the complications of diabetes in white rat.

Polyphenols have shown antioxidant activity and an ability to prevent the toxic effects of oxidative stress in diabetes. The objective of this study was to evaluate the hypoglycemic and antioxidant effect of the methanolic extract of Xanthoria parietina on rats diabetes induced by streptozotocin (40 mg/g). The results obtained show that streptozotocin induces diabetes in the animal characterized by hyperglycemia, elevation of oxidative stress markers and a decrease of enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant defense system.

Antioxidant and wound healing potential of saponins extracted from the leaves of Algerian Urtica dioica L.

The Nettle is a herbaceous and vivace plant of Asian origin. It is integrated in several areas especially alimentary, agricultural, industrial and medicinal. The aim of this work is to demonstrate through pharmacological tests a possible antioxidant and wound healing effect of crude saponins of the leaves of Urtica dioica L.
