The imprudent use of antibiotics increases the environmental microflora's resistance to various drugs, particularly antibiotics. Prescription data is crucial for understanding antibiotic usage frequency and dosage. This health-focused study aims to analyze antibiotic prescription patterns in human and veterinary practices to identify emerging trends in environmental antibiotic resistance.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the potential of prodigiosin, a natural antimicrobial compound, to combat drug resistance and provide public health benefits by controlling bacterial growth and reducing oxidative stress.
  • A bacterium identified as Serratia sp. BRL41, isolated from ancient Barhind soil in Bangladesh, was found to produce prodigiosin and contained a gene cluster essential for its biosynthesis.
  • Prodigiosin showed significant antibacterial effects against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, with effective concentrations established through Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) testing.

Plant seeds are the resources of many different bioactive components. The chemical composition of the different crude extracts from (White pumpkin) and (Pumpkin) seeds with three different polarity-based solvents (n-hexane, n-hexane-chloroform (2:1), and methanol) was analyzed to identify the biologically active compounds. Each of the extracts was analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

3,4-dichloroaniline (3,4-DCA) and 4,4'-methylenedianiline (4,4'-MDA) have been widely used in manufacture of many industrial and consumer products, and hence often detected in aquatic environment. Reproductive toxicity of aniline and its derivatives in aquatic organisms has been suggested, however, knowledge on the endocrine disruption potentials and toxicological consequences of both anilines are not well understood, especially in fish. In this study, we aimed to understand the effects of 3,4-DCA and 4,4'-MDA on sex hormone regulation and reproduction of adult zebrafish (Danio rerio).

Aniline and aniline derivatives have been widely used in the production of pesticides, pharmaceuticals, cosmetic, dyes, rubber, and adhesives products. These chemicals can easily be released into the environment through industrial and municipal discharges or as degradation byproducts. Several studies have suggested that aniline and some of its derivatives could cause reproductive toxicity in aquatic organisms.
