Bursting the Virulence Traits of MDR Strain of Using Sodium Alginate-based Microspheres Containing Nystatin-loaded MgO/CuO Nanocomposites.

Introduction: is a major opportunistic pathogen that causes a wide range of human infections. Currently available therapeutic agents are limited for treating these fungal infections due to multidrug resistance as well as their nonbiodegradability, poor biocompatibility and toxicity. In order to battle these limitations, we have synthesized a polymeric system as microcarriers to deliver the antifungal drug.

Targeting microbial biofilms: by synthesised biocompatible CeO-NPs encapsulated in nano-chitosan.

This study is planned to synthesise new biocompatible, nano antimicrobial formulation against biofilm producing strains. Aqueous root extract of was used to synthesise ceria nanoparticles (CeO-NPs). The synthesised nanoparticles were encapsulated with nano-chitosan by sol-gel method and characterised using standard techniques.

Synthesis, characterization and evaluation of antibacterial activity of copper oxide nanoparticles against clinical strains of Staphylococcus aureus.

Bacterial resistance is spreading globally due to excessive use of antibiotics, making it one of our times biggest challenges. To address this issue present study was conducted to evaluate the antibacterial activity of copper oxide nanoparticles against methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA).

Potential Uses of Venom Proteins in Treatment of HIV.

Background: For about 30 years Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) has been a significant social and health issue. It has been a perilous opponent in the human contest against HIV. At the end of 2015 there were 26.

Isolation and Molecular Characterization of a Model Antagonistic Divulging Plant Growth Promoting Characteristics.

The use of microbial technologies in agriculture is currently expanding quite rapidly with the identification of new bacterial strains, which are more effective in promoting plant growth. In the present study 18 strains of were isolated from soil sample of Balochistan coastline. Among isolated strains four designated as SP19, SP22, PS24, and SP25 exhibited biocontrol activities against phytopathogenic fungi, that is, and ; PS24 identified as by 16srRNA gene bank accession number EU081518 was selected on the basis of its antifungal activity to explore its potential as plant growth promotion.

Essential oils showing in vitro anti MRSA and synergistic activity with penicillin group of antibiotics.

This study was planned in order to investigate effective essential oils to inhibit in-vitro growth of Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). In this study using disc diffusion method anti MRSA activity of ten diverse essential oils extracted from traditional plants namely Thymus vulgaris L, Mentha pulegium, Ocimum sanctum, Mentha piperita, Cymbopogon citratus, Rosmarinus officinalis L., Cortex cinnamom, Citrus nobilis x Citrus deliciosa, Origanum vulgare and Mentha sp.

Solubilization of zinc salts by a bacterium isolated from the air environment of a tannery.

Airborne bacteria isolated from a tannery air environment were screened for the property of solubilization of insoluble zinc oxide and zinc phosphate. Out of 10 strains tested, a strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CMG 823) showed the best solubilization and solubilized both zinc oxide and zinc phosphate. Colonies of the bacterium produced clear haloes on solid medium which contained these insoluble metal compounds, but only when glucose was provided as a carbon source.
