Green Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles Using Extracts of : Morphology and Antibacterial Efficacy Against Common Nosocomial Pathogens.

The use of plant extract to synthesize nanoparticles has transformed the area of nanotechnology. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were generated in this work using the leaves of as a reducing and stabilizing agent. The extract of was analyzed using a gas chromatography-mass spectrometer.

A Narrative Review of Bedaquiline and Delamanid: New Arsenals Against Multidrug-Resistant and Extensively Drug-Resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Background: The treatment of multidrug-resistant (MDR-) and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (XDR-TB) is a formidable challenge. Treatment of MDR- and XDR-TB using bedaquiline (BDQ) and delamanid (DLM), two newly introduced medications, is steadily increasing. This narrative review aimed to present a concise overview of the existing information regarding BDQ and DLM, and elucidate their antimicrobial characteristics, resistance mechanisms, synergism with other drugs, and side effects.

Association between the presence of CRISPR-Cas system genes and antibiotic resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from patients admitted in Ahvaz teaching hospitals.

Background: This study aims to investigate the frequency of cas1 and cas3 and CRISPR1,2,3 genes in Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates, as well as their connection with antibiotic resistance.

Materials And Methods: 106 K. pneumoniae isolates were identified by biochemical assays and PCR.

In vitro antiplasmodial and anticancer analyses of endophytic fungal extracts isolated from selected Nigerian medicinal plants.

Ethnomedicinal plants are thought to have better prospects of harboring endophytes that produce natural products with pharmacological activities. This study aimed to investigate the antiplasmodial and anticancer properties of secondary metabolites of endophytic fungi from three medicinal plants. The endophytic fungi included Lasiodiplodia theobromae isolated from Cola acuminata, Curvularia lunata Bv4 isolated from Bambusa vulgaris, and Curvularia lunata Eg7 isolated from Elaeis guineensis.
