Pyrogallol loaded chitosan-based polymeric hydrogel for controlling Acinetobacter baumannii wound infections: Synthesis, characterization, and topical application.

Antibacterial hydrogels have emerged as a promising approach for wound healing, owing to their ability to integrate antibacterial agents into the hydrogel matrix. Benefiting from its remarkable antibacterial and wound-healing attributes, pyrogallol has been introduced into chitosan-gelatin for the inaugural development of an innovative antibacterial polymeric hydrogel tailored for applications in wound healing. Hence, we observed the effectiveness of pyrogallol in inhibiting the growth of A.

Hesperidin methyl chalcone, a citrus flavonoid, inhibits Aeromonas hydrophila infection mediated by quorum sensing.

Plant-derived phytocompounds are effective in treating a variety of ailments and disorders, the most common of which are bacterial infections in humans, which are a major public health concern. Flavonoids, one of the groups of phytocompounds, are known to have significant antimicrobial and anti-infective properties. Hence, the current study investigates the efficacy of the citrus flavonoid hesperidin methylchalcone (HMC) in addressing this major issue.

Pyrogallol downregulates the expression of virulence-associated proteins in Acinetobacter baumannii and showing anti-infection activity by improving non-specific immune response in zebrafish model.

Acinetobacter baumannii, a virulent uropathogen with widespread antibiotic resistance, has arisen as a critical scientific challenge, necessitating the development of innovative therapeutic agents. This is the first study reveal the proteomic changes in A. baumannii upon pyrogallol treatment for understanding the mechanisms using nano-LC-MS/MS-based quantitative proteomics and qPCR analysis.

Tocopherol-assisted magnetic Ag-FeO-TiO nanocomposite for photocatalytic bacterial-inactivation with elucidation of mechanism and its hazardous level assessment with zebrafish model.

In recent years, many endeavours have been prompted with photocatalytic nanomaterials by the need to eradicate pathogenic microorganisms from water bodies. Herein, a tocopherol-assisted Ag-FeO-TiO nanocomposite (TAFTN) was synthesized for photocatalytic bacterial inactivation. The prepared TAFTN became active under sunlight due to its narrowed bandgap, inactivating the bacterial contaminants via photo-induced ROS stress.

Tocopherol and phytol possess anti-quorum sensing mediated anti-infective behavior against Vibrio campbellii in aquaculture: An in vitro and in vivo study.

Phytocompounds have long been well recognized in medicine and pharmacy. The natural compounds are frequently utilized as the fundamental resource in the development of novel therapeutic agents to treat bacterial infections. The rapid emergence of bacterial infections, particularly caused by Vibrio species, is seen as a serious concern for the development of aquaculture industries, resulting in substantial economic losses throughout the world.

Proteomic analysis deciphers the multi-targeting antivirulence activity of tannic acid in modulating the expression of MrpA, FlhD, UreR, HpmA and Nrp system in Proteus mirabilis.

In the present study, the multi-targeting antivirulence activity of tannic acid (TA) was explored against Proteus mirabilis through MS-based proteomic approach. The in vitro biofilm biomass quantification assay and microscopic analysis demonstrated the antibiofilm activity of TA against P. mirabilis in which, minimum biofilm inhibitory concentration (MBIC) of TA was found to be 200 μg/mL concentration.

Molecular identification of species causing endophthalmitis using multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA): a 10-year perspective.

spp. can cause several ocular infections, such as keratitis, endophthalmitis and scleral abscesses. Molecular identification of spp.

Clinical presentations, genotypic diversity and phylogenetic analysis of species causing keratitis.

keratitis is a sight-threatening corneal infection that is commonly reported among contact lens users and those suffering from corneal trauma. The prevalence of species or genotypes in causing keratitis infection is not well known. This study was conducted to identify and genotype isolates from keratitis patients, targeting the ribosomal nuclear subunit () region, and describe the associated clinical presentation and treatment outcome.
