Biosynthesis of Silver, Copper, and Their Bi-metallic Combination of Nanocomposites by : Their Antimicrobial, Anticancer Activity, and Cytotoxicity Effect.

Unlabelled: The present study outlines an easy, cheap, and environmentally friendly way to make -mediated bimetallic silver-copper nanocomposites (Ag/Cu) that can fight cancer and germs. The gram-positive synthesized Ag, Cu, and their bi-metallic nanocomposites extracellularly. We aimed to prepare the bimetallic nanocomposite in two different ways, and we compared them in terms of characterization and biological applications.

Synergistic potential of essential oil combinations against Microsporum, Trichophyton, and Epidermophyton.

Dermatophyte infections globally account for 20 to 25% of fungal infections. Dermatophytes have begun exhibiting antifungal drug resistance, making it challenging to treat this particular infection. Essential oils could be used as alternative solutions as they have been used for a long period to treat different infections.

Attractive study of the antimicrobial, antiviral, and cytotoxic activity of novel synthesized silver chromite nanocomposites.

Antibiotic resistance is a global problem. This is the reason why scientists search for alternative treatments. In this regard, seven novel silver chromite nanocomposites were synthesized and assayed to evaluate their antimicrobial, antiviral, and cytotoxic activity.

Fungal remediation of Cd(ii) from wastewater using immobilization techniques.

The pollution of wastewater by heavy metal ions is hazardous to the environment and human health. Cd(ii) has been recognized as one of the heavy metals that causes severe toxic effects. The present study is aimed at removing Cd(ii) from wastewater using fungal biomass either immobilized on loofa sponges or in Ca-alginate beads.

Evaluation of antimicrobial properties of a novel synthesized nanometric delafossite.

Antibiotics and other antimicrobial compounds are the backbone of clinical medicine. Antimicrobial resistance can cause serious diseases to man. Nanotechnology can improve therapeutic potential of medicinal molecules and related agents.

Two-year survey on the seasonal incidence of aflatoxin M1 in traditional dairy products in Egypt.

The most popular and economically important traditional dairy products in Egypt are raw milk, Karish cheese (an Arabian dairy product made from defatted cow milk) and Zabady (an Arabian yoghurt made from buffalo and cow milk). In this study, 302 traditional dairy samples including raw milk (120), white Karish cheese (118), and Zabady (64) were analyzed for aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) during different seasons in 2016 and 2017. Contamination of raw milk samples with AFM1 was 21.

Antimicrobial activity of Novel spinel nanoferrites against pathogenic fungi and bacteria.

In a search for novel therapeutic agents against pathogenic fungal species, Candida in addition to bacterial species, novel spinel nanoferrites were assayed against four pathogenic fungi isolated from different clinical samples of ear and skin infections: Aspergillus flavus, A. niger, A. terrus and A.
