Pyrazinamide (PZA) is a critical component of tuberculosis first-line therapy due to its ability to kill both growing and non-replicating drug-tolerant populations of within the host. Recent evidence indicates that PZA acts through disruption of coenzyme A synthesis under conditions that promote cellular stress. In contrast to its bactericidal action , PZA shows weak bacteriostatic activity against in axenic culture.

Nanoparticles show promising antimicrobial activities; however, their actions are hindered primarily by the bacterial hydrophilic-hydrophobic barrier. To overcome this, we developed a method of electrochemically anchoring sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) coatings onto silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), resulting in improved antimicrobial potency.

Thiamine dilauryl sulphate (TDS) exerts a bacteriostatic effect against Gram-positive bacteria and is used as a food additive. The heartwood extract of the Indian kino tree (Pterocarpus marsupium), a medicinal tree native to India, shows weak antimicrobial effects against bacteria and superficial dermatophyte-infective fungi. Herein, we report that the combination of TDS and P.

Background: Despite the extensive literature focusing on identifying novel antimicrobials of plant origin, little work has been undertaken to examine the antimicrobial activity of wild edible plants.
Objective: The current research aimed to determine the in vitro antimicrobial activity of methanolic extract of some common wild edible plants.
Material And Methods: Disc diffusion and broth micro dilution methods were used to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of extracts of , , , , , , and against known human microorganisms' pathogens.

While the pandemic is behind us, the world community faces a global threat of bacterial resistance outbreak. One of the key ways to combat the spread of multi-resistant bacteria is infection prevention and control tactics using modern antiseptic and disinfectant compositions. Herein, we continue the path to unravel the structure-activity relationship (SAR) of potent pyridine-derived biocide class bis-quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs).
