Potential Activity of as Antioxidant, Cytotoxic and Antifungal against Some Skin Diseases: Topical Cream Application.

This research evaluated the antifungal effectiveness of ethanol, methanol, ethyl acetate and acetone extracts against the tested pathogenic fungi (, and ). Antioxidant and cytotoxicity effectiveness of extracts against four distinct cell lines were also assessed. Methanol extract of exhibited the highest inhibition zones against as measured by the well diffusion method.

Exploring the therapeutic potential of acetonic plant extracts in the healing of skin wounds infected with multidrug resistant pathogens.

Open wounds are easily susceptible to infection by multi-drug resistant (MDR) pathogens. The emergence of MDR super bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus spp, fungi such as Aspergillus niger and Candida spp, has been identified to significantly increase the incidence rate. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a suitable barrier to prevent infection and enhance wound healing.

Insight into multidrug-resistant microorganisms from microbial infected diabetic foot ulcers.

Aim: This study was undertaken to inspect the preponderance of multidrug-resistant (MDR) microorganisms in microbial infected diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) in north Egypt. Moreover, their later impact on the patients and previous antibiotic therapies were taken into consideration.

Methods: To accomplish this goal, twenty-two of diabetic foot patients with purulent wounds were enrolled in this prospective study.

A Protective Mechanism in Lungs of Rats Experimentally Infected with Aspergillus fumigatus.

Aspergillus fumigatus is associated with invasive disease aspergillosis in immunocompromised individuals. The major aim of this study was to investigate the biochemical and immunological responses of male Wistar rats against A. fumigatus experimentally-induced pulmonary fungal infection.
