The effect of extracts on the adhesion of to 3D printed polyethylene terephthalate and polylactic acid.

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polylactic acid (PLA) are among the polymers used in the food industry. In this study, crude extracts of were used to treat the surface of 3D printed materials studied, aiming to provide them with an anti-adhesive property against . The hydrophobicity of treated and untreated surfaces was characterized using the contact angle method.

Antimycobacterial activity of a Brevibacillus laterosporusstrain isolated from a moroccan soil.

The treatment of tuberculosis has become more difficult with the worldwide spread of multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Moreover, the prevalence of human disease caused by atypical mycobacteria has also increased in the past two decades and has further complicated the problem of the treatment of mycobacterial infections. It is therefore urgent to develop new highly active molecules against these bacteria.
