Antimicrobial and Antibiofilm Activity of Extracts Obtained by Supercritical Fluid Extraction Under Various Extraction Conditions.

Sustainable management of agri-food product safety presents a major challenge requiring extensive action to ensure food safety and consumer health. The pursuit of environmentally friendly solutions that will constitute an alternative to the chemical compounds commonly used in agriculture and the food industries is one of the most important problems. One solution is plant extracts containing various biologically active compounds and exhibiting antimicrobial activity.

Native valve endocarditis in a patient with autoimmune hepatitis on low dose systemic corticosteroids: A case report.

infectious endocarditis (IE) is a rare cause of culture-negative endocarditis. The main risk factors are severe immunosuppression and prosthetic heart valve. We describe a case of IE on a native mitral valve in a patient with autoimmune hepatitis in remission while on low dose corticosteroids.

The Inhibitory Potential of Selected Essential Oils on spp. Growth and Mycotoxins Biosynthesis in Maize Seeds.

Owing to their rich chemical composition, essential oils (EOs) have many interesting properties, including antimicrobial activities. The presence of and their secondary metabolites, mycotoxins, in cereal crops is a serious problem in agriculture, which consequently affects food quality. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of selected EOs on the growth of and and the biosynthesis of mycotoxins in maize seeds.

The Efficiency of Deoxynivalenol Degradation by Essential Oils under In Vitro Conditions.

Essential oils (EOs) are complex natural products of plant origin and exhibit different desirable, e.g., antimicrobial properties.

Antifungal activity of selected essential oils against Fusarium culmorum and F. graminearum and their secondary metabolites in wheat seeds.

Essential oils (EOs) are products of plant origin and include mixtures of different chemical compounds. These volatile substances have many interesting properties, including antifungal properties. Fungi may develop under field conditions on crops such as wheat or corn and are able to synthesize mycotoxins, which adversely affect livestock and human health.
