Tobramycin is a potent antimicrobial aminoglycoside and its effective delivery by encapsulation within nanoparticle carriers could increase its activity against infections through a combination of sustained release and enhanced uptake. Effective antimicrobial therapy against a clinically relevant model bacteria () requires sufficient levels of therapeutic drug to maintain a drug concentration above the microbial inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the bacteria. Previous studies have shown that loading of aminoglycoside drugs in poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA)-based delivery systems is generally poor due to weak interactions between the drug and the polymer. The formation of complexes of tobramycin with dioctylsulfosuccinate (AOT) allows the effective loading of the drug in PLGA-nanoparticles and such nanoparticles can effectively deliver the antimicrobial aminoglycoside with retention of tobramycin antibacterial function.

In this study, a total of 32 Trueperella pyogenes strains isolated from different disease specimens in cattle, sheep and goats were examined. Antimicrobial susceptibility of the isolates to 10 antimicrobials were determined using the E-test method and MIC values of the antimicrobials were investigated. The genes that play a role in the antimicrobial resistance or virulence of T.

Background: This study aims to enhance the existing knowledge of the prevalence of genes responsible for beta-lactam resistance and aminoglycoside resistance in gram negative organisms by molecular detection of extended spectrum beta-lactamase and aminoglycoside modifying enzymes in multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacteria.
Methods: Out of 864 gram-negative isolates, 710 were phenotypically identified as multidrug-resistant by antibiotic susceptibility testing. From the above isolates, 102 representative isolates as per sample size calculated were selected for further molecular studies.

is a pathogenic bacterium widely distributed in the environment, with increasing concerns about multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains in riverine systems. In this study, we assessed the antibiotic resistance of 50 isolates from surface water samples collected at seven distinct sites along the Buriganga River. Antibiotic sensitivity was tested using the Kirby-Bauer Disk Diffusion method.

The spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses global health threats, with wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) as hotspots for its development. Horizontal gene transfer facilitates acquisition of resistance genes, particularly through integrons in . Our study investigates isolates from hospital and municipal WWTPs, focusing on integrons, their temporal correlation and phenotypic and molecular characterization of AMR.

The emergence of self-propelling magnetic nanobots represents a significant advancement in the field of drug delivery. These magneto-nanobots offer precise control over drug targeting and possess the capability to navigate deep into tumor tissues, thereby addressing multiple challenges associated with conventional cancer therapies. Here, Fe-GSH-Protein-Dox, a novel self-propelling magnetic nanobot conjugated with a biocompatible protein surface and loaded with doxorubicin for the treatment of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), is reported.
