Anti-oral streptococci and anti-biofilm properties of essential oil and its bioactive compounds proposed for an alternative herbal mouthwash.

Oral streptococci are the major group of bacteria in the oral cavity. Some of their species cause oral diseases that may lead to tooth loss and quality-of-life reduction, such as dental caries. One of prevention techniques to promote oral health is rinsing mouthwash after toothbrushing.

Multifunctional Zn and Ag co-doped bioactive glass nanoparticles for bone therapeutic and regeneration.

Bone cancer has traditionally been treated using surgery, radiotherapy, and/or chemotherapy. The nonspecific distribution of chemotherapy and implantable infections are significant risk factors for the failure of the bone to heal. Multifunctional zinc and silver co-doped bioactive glass nanoparticles (yAg-xZn-BGNPs) with a diameter of 150 ± 30 nm were successfully synthesized using modified sol-gel and two-step post-functionalization processes, tailored to provide antibacterial and anticancer activity whilst maintaining osteogenesis ability.

Influence of Gallic Acid and Thai Culinary Essential Oils on Antibacterial Activity of Nisin against .

is a well-known oral pathogen commonly associated with a normal dental problem and life-threatening infection. A bacteriocin nisin and the plant-derived compounds including gallic acid (GA) and Thai culinary essential oils (EOs) have been reported to have activity against oral pathogens. However, their synergistic interaction against has not been explored.

Characterization of endoglucanase from Paenibacillus sp. M33, a novel isolate from a freshwater swamp forest.

The newly isolated Paenibacillus sp. M33 from freshwater swamp forest soil in Thailand demonstrated its potential as a cellulose degrader. One of its endoglucanase genes from Paenibacillus sp.
