In the reported study we prepared gallic acid modified γ-AlOOH nanoparticles. We proposed mechanism of phenolic compounds binding on the alumina, suggesting covalent and electrostatic interactions. Most of the properties of alumina nanoparticles (NPs) are unchanged, but there is partial reduction of surface charge. Prepared samples are colloidally stable hydrosols. It allowed us to perform biological studies on cellular and non-cellular models, which showed nontoxicity of both pure and hybrid γ-AlOOH nanoparticles. Furthermore, pure alumina NPs exhibit antioxidant properties, which are enhanced after gallic acid immobilization on their surface. Also, hybrid alumina-gallic acid NPs showed membrane-protective activity.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the leading causes of infection worldwide due to its antimicrobial resistance. Plant-derived essential oils (EOs) have undergone extensive observational and clinical research to explore their antimicrobial properties. The present study aimed to check mec A positive MRSA isolates using sequencing analysis, determination of chemical composition using gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS), antioxidant, and antimicrobial activity of Anethum graveolens and Piper betle EOs against the infectious agent MRSA.

Background: The edible seeds of Ocimum gratissimum and Ocimum basilicum were found to be a potent source of phytochemicals with noteworthy antioxidant, antidiabetic, and antimicrobial properties. This study aimed to investigate the impact of germination and extraction solvents (ethanol (EtOH), distilled water) on the therapeutic properties exhibited and the ability of seed extracts to act as natural food preservatives.
Results: The EtOH extracts of germinated O.
