Evaluation of the cytotoxic activity of sorafenib-loaded camel milk casein nanoparticles against hepatocarcinoma cells.

Sorafenib, a multikinase inhibitor is used to treat hepatocellular and renal carcinoma. However, a low solubility impedes its bioavailability and thus, effectiveness. This study aims to enhance its effectiveness by using novel camel milk casein nanoparticles as a delivery system.

Detection of intercellular adhesion genes and biofilm production in Staphylococcus aureus isolated from bovine subclinical mastitis.

Biofilm production by Staphylococcus aureus, an important virulence factor was investigated employing phenotypic and genotypic methods. A total of 102 S. aureus isolates from bovine subclinical mastitis cases were included in the study.

PCR analysis of Pasteurella multocida isolates from an outbreak of pasteurellosis in Indian pigs.

An outbreak of pasteurellosis with high mortality was recorded in indigenous pigs in India. The presence of Pasteurella multocida in samples collected from dead pigs was detected by smear examination and isolation, and later by P. multocida specific polymerase chain reaction (PM-PCR).
