Wastewater is a major source of Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria (ARB) and a hotspot for the exchange of Antibiotic-Resistant Genes (ARGs). The occurrence of Carbapenem-Resistant Bacteria (CRB) in wastewater samples is a major public health concern. This study aimed to analyze Antibiotic resistance in bacteria from wastewater sources in Pakistan.

- * A total of 1267 proteins were identified, with 37 showing differential regulation—28 proteins were up-regulated, primarily involved in metabolic processes, while 9 proteins were down-regulated, linked to carbon metabolism and amino acid biosynthesis.
- * Most of the differentially expressed proteins were predicted to be antigenic and associated with resistance data, providing insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying the emergence of XDR Typhi.
Background: Multidrug resistance (MDR) in the family Enterobacteriaceae is a perniciously increasing threat to global health security. The discovery of new antimicrobials having the reversing drug resistance potential may contribute to augment and revive the antibiotic arsenal in hand. This study aimed to explore the anti-Enterobacteriaceae capability of bioactive polyphenols from Punica granatum (P.

We assessed the biofilm-forming tendency of poultry isolates of , namely Typhimurium ( = 23), Infantis ( = 28), and Heidelberg ( = 18), in nutrient-rich Rappaport-Vassiliadis Soya (RVS) peptone broth and nutrient-deficient diluted Tryptone Soya Broth (TSB). Seven of the tested isolates exhibited moderate biofilm formation in diluted TSB, whereas two showed such formation in RVS.

Article Synopsis
- Antimicrobial resistance is a growing global health issue, prompting research into new materials to fight multi-drug-resistant bacteria.
- This study introduces surfactin-coated silver nanoparticles, demonstrating their effectiveness as an antibacterial and antibiofilm agent with safe dermal applications.
- Results indicate that these nanoparticles do not cause significant skin irritation or pathological changes, supporting their potential for treating drug-resistant bacterial infections and improving wound care.
