A series of Mannich bases of 2-alkyl-3-hydroxy-pyridine-4-ones, namely 2-alkyl-3-hydroxy-5-N-piperidylmethyl or N,N-dialkylaminomethyl pyridine-4-ones 9, 10 and 15-18, two derivatives of N-aryl-2-methyl-3-hydroxy-pyridine-4-ones 19, 20 and two N-alkyl derivatives of maltol, 21 and 22 were prepared. They were screened for their antibacterial and antifungal activities against a variety of microorganisms using micro plate Alamar Blue((R)) assay (MABA) method. Multiple linear regressions (MLR) analysis was performed for the synthesized compounds as well as a series of pyridinone and pyranone derivatives 23-43 which have been synthesized and evaluated for antimicrobial activity by other researchers previously. Studied compounds showed a better quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) model for the antimicrobial activity against Candida albicans and Staphylococcus aureus in comparison with other tested microorganisms.

Mupirocin is an effective antibiotic for infectious skin diseases. However, mupirocin is formulated as an ointment and is difficult to apply in canine systemic pyoderma. Therefore, many clinicians reformulate mupirocin off-label ointment into a spray.

Background: Actinobacteria are major producers of antibacterial and antifungal metabolites and are growing their search for substances of biotechnological interest, especially for use in agriculture, among other applications. The Amazon is potentially rich in actinobacteria; however, almost no research studies exist. Thus, we present a study of the occurrence and antifungal potential of actinobacteria from the rhizosphere of , a native South American plant and one that is economically useful in the whole of the Amazon.

Background: Regenerative endodontics requires an innovative delivery system to release antibiotics/growth factors in a sequential trend. This study focuses on developing/characterizing a thermoresponsive core-shell hydrogel designed for targeted drug delivery in endodontics.
Methods: The core-shell chitosan-alginate microparticles were prepared by electrospraying to deliver bone morphogenic protein-2 for 14 days and transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-β1) for 7-14 days.

Background: Regulatory T-cells (Tregs) play a crucial role in maintaining immune homeostasis, but their dynamics are altered in a subset of people living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) known as immunological non-responders (INRs). INRs fail to reconstitute CD4 T-cell counts despite viral suppression. This study aimed to examine Treg dysregulation in INRs, comparing them to immunological responders (IRs) and healthy controls (HCs).

Background: Endometriosis is a complicated and enigmatic disease that significantly diminishes the quality of life for women affected by this condition. Increased levels of human telomerase reverse transcriptase () mRNA and telomerase activity have been found in the endometrium of these patients. However, the precise function of TERT in endometriosis and the associated biological mechanisms remain poorly understood.
