Use of Lactobacillus paracasei isolated from whey for silver nanocomposite synthesis: Antiradical and antimicrobial properties against selected pathogens.

The present research emphasizes the use of safe, inexpensive, and available whey using Lactobacillus paracasei as a source in silver nanocomposite synthesis as an alternative bioactive agent for dairy and biomedical applications. Through the multiinstrumental approach used in this study based on spectroscopic and microscopic methods as well as spectrometric techniques, the characterization and evaluation of silver composites and their antimicrobial and antiradical properties were enabled. Synthesized silver nanocomposites have been found in form of nanocrystals, naturally coated by an organic surface with high antimicrobial and antiradical properties.

Lactococcus lactis as a safe and inexpensive source of bioactive silver composites.

This research develops a safe, inexpensive, and more accessible source for synthesis of silver nanoparticles. The bioactive silver composites synthesized by Lactococcus lactis 56 KY484989 (LCLB56-AgCs) were characterized by various physico-chemical techniques and investigated for their antimicrobial activity and cytotoxicity. The average amount of nanoparticles was 0.

Case report: Myxoma of the temporalis muscle.

Intramuscular myxomas of the head and neck are rare entities. Primarily found in the myocardium, these lesions also affect the bones and soft tissues. We present a case of an intramuscular myxoma of the temporalis muscle.
