The in vitro and in vivo effects of larval secretions on .

The emerging of drug resistant against parasites prompts scientists to seek for novel therapeutic strategies against theses infectious protozoan parasites. Among different strategies, the use of larvae secretions could be suggested as a possible therapy with low side effects. Accordingly, the current study evaluated the in vitro and in vivo effects of larval secretions on , the causative agent of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL).

Evaluation of Exoenzyme Activities, Biofilm Formation, and Co-hemolytic Effect in Clinical Isolates of Species Complex.

species complex is considered as important emerging pathogens and little is known about their pathogenicity factors and co-hemolytic activity with different bacteria species. The aim of this study was to determine exoenzyme activities, biofilm formation, and co-hemolytic effect of different bacteria species on clinical complex isolates. In total, 67 complex isolates consist of 63/67 and 4/67 were used in this study.
