Early childhood caries (ECC), a severe form of dental caries, is exacerbated by the synergistic interaction between Streptococcus mutans and Candida albicans, leading to greater disease severity than their individual effects. This underscores the need for more targeted and potent therapeutic alternatives. Given the promising anti-infective properties of quaternary ammonium surfactants (QAS), this study explores the microbicidal properties of one such QAS, cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC), against both individual- and dual-species cultures of S.

Dodine is an important surfactant-based chemical fungicide used widely to kill fungi associated with black spot and foliar diseases on several fruit plants, such as apples, pears, peaches, and strawberries. However, the extensive use of dodine depicts the genotoxic effect, which may cause gene-associated diseases. Dodine can destabilize G-quadruplex (G4) DNA, which is one of the key targets for cancer therapy.

Haemocytes play a crucial role in the invertebrate's immune system. In our lab, five subpopulations of shrimp haemocytes were identified in the past: hyalinocytes, granulocytes, semi-granulocytes and two subpopulations of non-phagocytic cells. In the latter two subpopulations, their characteristics such as having small cytoplasmic rims and not adhering to plastic cell-culture plates are very similar to those of mammalian lymphocytes.
