Methicillin-resistant (MRSA) causes life-threatening infections. Zinc oxide is well known as an effective antibacterial drug against many bacterial strains. We investigated the performance of zinc oxide nanorods synthesized by Albmiun as a biotemplate as an antibacterial drug in this study; the fabrication of zinc oxide nanorods was synthesized by sol-gel methods.

The risk of resistance development and adverse effects on human health and the environment has increased in the last decade. Furthermore, many antifungal agents fail to inhibit the pathogenesis of azole-resistant . In this report, we isolated and identified azole-resistant isolates from two sources of maize (white and yellow maize).

Zinc oxide nanomaterial is a potential material in the field of cancer therapy. In this study, zinc oxide nanospheres (ZnO-NS) were synthesized by Sol-gel method using yeast extract as a non-toxic bio-template and investigated their physicochemical properties through various techniques such as FTIR, XR, DLS, and TEM. Furthermore, free zinc ions released from the zinc oxide nanosphere suspended medium were evaluated by using the ICP-AS technique.

The development of innovative antibacterial drugs against foodborne pathogens has led to an interest in novel materials such as nanomaterials. The unique features of nanomaterial qualify it for use as an antibacterial treatment. Noble metals and metal oxide nanoparticles, such as silver and magnetite nanoparticles, have been shown to be effective antibacterial medications against a range of microorganisms.

Seaweeds can play a vital role in plant growth promotion. Two concentrations (5 and 10 mg/mL) of soluble polysaccharides extracted from the green macroalgae and were tested on L. The carbohydrate and protein contents, and antioxidant activities (phenols, ascorbic, peroxidase, and catalase) were measured, as well as the protein banding patterns.
