The involvement of multiple antibiotic-resistant gastrointestinal pathogens in diarrhea aggravates the disease condition uncontrollably. The current study aimed to find and develop a suitable formulation utilizing multiple natural components from known plant sources to augment the current therapeutic outcomes. The hydroethanolic extraction method was applied through boiling and fermentation on ancient observation-based efficacious plant parts for developing the antidiarrheal polyherbal formulation AP-01.

Adverse environmental conditions, such as acid stress, induce bacteria to employ several strategies to overcome these stressors. These strategies include forming biofilms and activating specific molecular pathways, such as the general stress response (GSR). The genome of strain G18 was sequenced using the Illumina NextSeq 500 system, resulting in a assembly of 80 scaffolds.

, a Gram-negative opportunistic bacterium, has emerged as a cause of life-threatening infections in burn wounds. Current therapeutic approaches through wound dressings and systemic medicines are far from satisfactory; resistance to more than two antibiotics shown by pathogens contributes to failures of therapy causing mortality. This animal study was conducted to check the efficacy of one Ayurveda-based fermented polyherbal preparation (AP 01) against multiple antibiotics-resistant (MAR) HW01infected rat burn wounds.

The progress in industrialization has blessed mankind with a technologically superior lifestyle but poor management of industrial waste has in turn poisoned nature. One such chemical is carbon tetra chloride (CCl4), which is a potent environmental toxin emitted from chemical industries and its presence in the atmosphere is increasing at an alarming rate. Presence of CCl4 in human body is reported to cause liver damage through free radical mediated inflammatory processes.

Lignin, one of the most abundant renewable feedstock, is used to develop a biocompatible hydrogel as anti-infective ointment. A hydrophilic polyoxazoline chain is grafted through ring opening polymerization, possess homogeneous spherical nanoparticles of 10-15 nm. The copolymer was covalently modified with triazole moiety to fortify the antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities.
