Envelope Protein in Differential Serodiagnosis of Dengue, Zika, and Chikungunya Viruses: A Systematic Review.

Objectives: This systematic review was conducted to evaluate the applicability of the envelope (E) protein in the diagnosis of arboviruses.

Methods: This review was performed in accordance with the PRISMA statement. Five databases were explored (PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, EMBASE, and IEDB).

"Antibacterial effect and possible mechanism of action of 1,3,4-oxadiazole in Staphylococcus aureus".

Staphylococcus aureus is one of the main etiological agents causing foodborne diseases, and the development of new antibacterial agents is urgent. This study evaluated the antibacterial activity and the possible mechanism of action of the 1,3,4-oxadiazole LMM6 against S. aureus.

Photodynamic inactivation by hypericin-P123 on azole-resistant isolates of the Trichophyton rubrum complex as planktonic cells and biofilm.

Introduction: The Trichophyton rubrum complex comprises the majority of dermatophyte fungi (DM) responsible for chronic cases of onychomycosis, which is treated with oral or topical antifungals. However, owing to antifungal resistance, alternative therapies, such as photodynamic therapy (PDT), are needed. This study investigated the frequency of the T.

Successful treatment of experimental murine vulvovaginal candidiasis with gentian violet.

This study evaluated the antifungal efficacy of gentian violet (GV) in an experimental vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) model. susceptibility and cytotoxicity assays were performed to validate the antifungal potential and safety of GV. The antifungal efficacy was then evaluated through comparative analysis of the fungal burden following treatment with GV or nystatin, as well as assessment of the vaginal tissue by histology and electron microscopy.

In vitro antifungal activity of curcumin mediated by photodynamic therapy on Sporothrix brasiliensis.

Background: Sporothrix brasiliensis is a pathogenic dimorphic fungus that affects humans and animals causing sporotrichosis. The treatment of this disease with conventional antifungals commonly results in therapeutic failures and resistance. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the in vitro effect of curcumin (CUR) mediated by photodynamic therapy (PDT) in its pure state and incorporated into pharmaceutical formulation in gel form, on the filamentous and yeast forms of S.
