The Facile Synthesis of Eco-Friendly Zinc Magnesium Bimetal Nanoparticles and its Application in the Eradication of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae that Causes Leaf Blight Disease of Rice.

In this research work, we formulated and successfully assessed the antibacterial capability of zinc magnesium bimetal nanoparticles (ZnMgNPs) against Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), the pathogenic microorganism responsible for causing the destructive leaf blight disease in rice. Successful preparation of ZnMgNPs were determined by UV-vis spectroscopy, EDX (Energy dispersive X-ray), FTIR (Fourier transform infrared) and SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy).

Photodynamic antibacterial and antibiofilm activity of riboflavin against Xanthomonas oryzae pv oryzae: an ecofriendly strategy to combat bacterial leaf blight (BLB) rice disease.

Bacterial leaf blight (BLB), caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv oryzae (Xoo), is one of the most damaging rice diseases, causing severe production losses depending on the rice variety. The purpose of this study was to develop an antibacterial photodynamic treatment (aPDT) using riboflavin for the treatment of BLB disease. Combining light and riboflavin (RF) therapy significantly reduced bacterial planktonic cells compared to RF alone.

A novel probiotic strain of TIU19 isolated from Haria beer showing both antibacterial and antibiofilm properties upon two multi resistant uro-pathogen strains.

Probiotics with antimicrobial activity are gaining interest as a topic in the research field. Urinary tract infections (UTIs), acquired in the hospital or the community, are among the most prevalent infections. The emergence of multidrug resistance (MDR) uro-pathogens has made the current situation more critical in terms of global public health.

Tetracycline-loaded magnesium oxide nanoparticles with a potential bactericidal action against multidrug-resistant bacteria: In vitro and in vivo evidence.

Worldwide, the emergence of diarrhoea-causing multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacteria has become a crucial problem in everyday life. Tetracycline (TC) is a bacteriostatic agent that has a wide spectrum of antibacterial activity. One potential strategy to enhance the penetration and antibacterial activity of antibiotics is the use of nanotechnology.

Exploring the antibacterial, antibiofilm, and antivirulence activities of tea tree oil-containing nanoemulsion against carbapenem-resistant associated infections.

Carbapenem-resistant (CRE-) has recently emerged as an opportunistic human pathogen that causes various nosocomial and respiratory tract infections. The prognosis for CRE--related infections is very poor and these infections are difficult to treat. This study investigated the synthesis of tea tree oil nanoemulsion (TTO-NE) and its impact on CRE- both and .

Antibacterial, anti-biofilm, and anti-virulence potential of tea tree oil against leaf blight pathogen Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae instigates disease suppression.

Bacterial leaf blight (BLB) disease, caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), causes major annual economic losses around the world. Inorganic copper compounds and antibiotics are conventionally used to control BLB disease.

Oxidative stress, DNA, and membranes targets as modes of antibacterial and antibiofilm activity of facile synthesized biocompatible keratin-copper nanoparticles against multidrug resistant uro-pathogens.

Escherichia coli and Enterococcus faecalis are two of the most prevalent uro-pathogens and are difficult to treat as they acquire multidrug-resistant traits. In this study, the main objective was to develop biocompatible copper nanoparticles using chicken feather keratin protein (CuNPs-K) and to investigate their impact on multidrug-resistant (MDR) uro-pathogens, E. coli and E.

Allelochemical catechol comprehensively impedes bacterial blight of rice caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae.

Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) induces bacterial leaf blight (BLB), is known to be the most devastating disease of rice. The present investigation for the first time explains the antibacterial, anti-biofilm, and antivirulence potential of the simplest allelochemical catechol.

Photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy (PACT) using riboflavin inhibits the mono and dual species biofilm produced by antibiotic resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.

Purpose: Multispecies biofilms play a significant role in persistent infections. Furthermore, by interspecies transfer of antibiotic resistance genes, multispecies biofilms spread antibiotic resistance. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of Photodynamic Antimicrobial Chemotherapy (PACT) using riboflavin on mono and multi species biofilms.

Sodium alginate-based edible coating containing nanoemulsion of Citrus sinensis essential oil eradicates planktonic and sessile cells of food-borne pathogens and increased quality attributes of tomatoes.

There is a growing interest from the worldwide scientific community in formulating edible- biodegradable coatings to replace non-biodegradable and expensive commercial wax-based coatings for preserving postharvest quality attributes of vegetables including tomatoes. Postharvest tomatoes are a suspected vehicle for both Salmonella and Listeria in food poisoning incidents. In this work, the effectiveness of edible nano-emulsion coatings containing sweet orange essential oil and sodium alginate were prepared and characterized, then evaluated antibacterial and antibiofilm activity against Salmonella and Listeria and simultaneously, examined its coating effect on various quality characteristics of tomatoes at 22 ± 2 °C over a 15 days storage period.

Antibacterial, anti-biofilm activity and mechanism of action of pancreatin doped zinc oxide nanoparticles against methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

Staphylococcus aureus are known to cause diseases from normal skin wound to life intimidating infections. Among the drug resistant strain, management of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is very difficult by using conventional antibiotic treatment. Both Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) and pancreatin (PK) are known to have antibacterial activity.
