Antibiotic resistance is increasing among Gram-negative bacteria, prompting the development of new antibiotics as well as alternative treatment approaches. Klebsiella pneumoniae Carbapenemases (KPC) has become a major concern in the treatment of infections, since KPC-producing bacteria are resistant to a number of β -lactam and non β-lactam antibiotics in addition to hydrolyzing carbapenemases. The aim of this study is to examine the synergistic effect of human Glucose-dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide (GIP) on KPC producer.

- Cancer is a leading global health issue, and this research focuses on using natural compounds like gallic acid and quercetin within nanoliposomes to explore their effectiveness against various cancer cell lines and bacteria.* -
- The study detailed the synthesis of these nanocarriers using the thin-film hydration method, with their properties assessed through techniques like Zetasizer and scanning electron microscopy.* -
- Results indicated that the co-loaded formulation had improved drug loading capacity and cytotoxic effects against lung and breast cancer cells, while the individual nano-quercetin showed lower toxicity levels compared to other formulations.*
The purpose of this study was to assess the health of stony coral Porites sp. based on the presence of bacterial pathogens, specifically Vibrio coralliilyticus, in the Gulf of Aqaba, and to assess the impact of anthropogenic activities on Porites sp. Porites sp.

Antibiotic resistance has become a major worldwide priority, and identifying natural antimicrobial compounds may help overcome this problem. In this study, ethanolic extracts of 12 plants commonly used in traditional medicine were tested against two strains of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 33591 and ATCC 43300) in terms of minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs). Furthermore, the effect of combining plant extracts with clindamycin antibiotic was also investigated using the checkerboard method.
