Piperine-loaded mesoporous silica nanoparticles as a promising strategy for targeting Echinococcus granulosus protoscoleces.

Medical and surgical treatments for cystic echinococcosis (CE) are challenged by various complications. This study evaluates in vitro protoscolicidal activity of piperine-loaded mesoporous silica nanoparticles (PIP-MSNs) against protoscoleces of Echinococcus granulosus. MSNs were prepared by adding tetraethyl orthosilicate to cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and NaOH, and then loaded with PIP.

Molecular characterization of non- yeast communities isolated from trees.

Background And Purpose: Plants are crucial habitats for fungus communities as they provide an appropriate physical environment for the growth and reproduction of the yeast microbiome. Varieties of pathogenic and non-pathogenic yeast could be found in trees. Although species are the most common pathogenic yeasts associated with trees, other yeasts also grow on trees and are critical to human health.

Antifungal Drug Susceptibility Profile of Isolated from Clinical Samples and Dairy Products.

Exploring drug susceptibility is a critical endeavor in the scientific community, setting the stage for advancements in understanding and combating various pathogens. has emerged as a significant pathogen, particularly affecting immunocompromised individuals with hematologic malignancies and HIV/AIDS conditions. This study aimed to assess the antifungal susceptibility profile of isolates obtained from clinical samples and dairy products.

Antifungal activity of FeO@SiO/Schiff-base/Cu(II) magnetic nanoparticles against pathogenic Candida species.

The antifungal efficacy and cytotoxicity of a novel nano-antifungal agent, the FeO@SiO/Schiff-base complex of Cu(II) magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), have been assessed for targeting drug-resistant Candida species. Due to the rising issue of fungal infections, especially candidiasis, and resistance to traditional antifungals, there is an urgent need for new therapeutic strategies. Utilizing Schiff-base ligands known for their broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, the FeO@SiO/Schiff-base/Cu(II) MNPs have been synthesized.
