Evaluation of synthesized biosurfactants as promising corrosion inhibitors and alternative antibacterial and antidermatophytes agents.

This study investigated different amino acid-based surfactants (AASs), also known as biosurfactants, including sodium N-dodecyl asparagine (AS), sodium N-dodecyl tryptophan (TS), and sodium N-dodecyl histidine (HS) for their potential anticorrosion, antibacterial, and antidermatophyte properties. The chemical and electrochemical techniques were employed to examine the copper corrosion inhibition efficacy in HSO (1.0 M) solution at 298 K.

Synergistic interaction of eugenol and antimicrobial drugs in eradication of single and mixed biofilms of Candida albicans and Streptococcus mutans.

In vitro eradication of the C. albicans and S. mutans mixed biofilms by eugenol alone and in combination with the antimicrobial drugs.

Bioactive extracts of and thymol inhibit biofilm development by multidrug-resistant extended spectrum β-lactamase producing enteric bacteria.

The emergence and spread of multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogenic bacteria is a clinical problem that requires novel anti-infective agents. Targeting pathogenic biofilms is considered a promising strategy to control bacterial infections. In this study, bioactive extracts of were investigated for their anti-biofilm efficacy against extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESβL) producing MDR enteric bacteria.

Bioactive extracts of L. enhances efficacy of ciprofloxacin against MDR enteric bacteria.

The widespread occurrence of extended spectrum β-lactamases (ESβLs) producing enteric bacteria and their co-resistance with flouroquinolones has impaired the current antimicrobial therapy. This has prompted the search for new alternatives through synergistic approaches with herbal extracts. In this study (seeds) was extracted first in methanol and then subsequently extracted in different organic solvents.

Antioxidant properties and anti-mutagenic potential of Piper Cubeba fruit extract and molecular docking of certain bioactive compounds.

Spices and herbs are recognized as sources of natural antioxidants and thus play an important role in the chemoprevention of diseases and aging. Piper cubeba is one among them and known for its medicinal properties for decades. Various biological activities are associated with its extract and phytocompounds.

Prevalence and Antibiotic Resistance Profiles of Campylobacter jejuni Isolated from Poultry Meat and Related Samples at Retail Shops in Northern India.

Campylobacteriosis is the common gastrointestinal disease worldwide. However, in many parts of the world, including India, the impact of campylobacteriosis is less commonly investigated. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and antibiotic susceptibility profiles of Campylobacter jejuni in raw poultry meat and poultry-related samples at retail shops in a region of Northern India.

Microbiological, histological, and biochemical evidence for the adverse effects of food azo dyes on rats.

In this study, 120 lactic acid bacterial strains from different fermented dairy products as well as 10 bacterial intestinal isolates were evaluated for in vitro and in vivo degradation of various food azo dyes. Of these isolates, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains 13 and 100 and the intestinal isolates Ent2 and Eco5 exhibited 96-98% degradation of the tested food azo dyes within 5-6 hours. High performance liquid chromatography mass spectra of sunset yellow (E110) and carmoisine (E122) anaerobic degradation products by the intestinal isolates showed that they were structurally related to toxic aromatic amines.
