Nanomaterials, defined by their nanoscale dimensions or as composites of nanoscale units, are a promising alternative for advancing biofilm prevention and control. On the one hand, small-scale structures of these materials impart distinctive properties not observed in conventional materials, such as surfa...

Emodin can induce DNA condensation because of a strong electrostatic interaction with bacterial DNA. It is worth noting that emodin inhibits the growth of common drug-resistant bacterial strains, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium (VRE)...
substantiated its role in the pathogenesis and progression of lung diseases such as lung cancer, ALI, COPD, PF, asthma, and infections [14,15,16,17,18,19]. Studies have found that the ferroptosis inhibitor ferrostatin-1 can prevent pneumonia caused by P. aeruginosa (PAO1) infection [20]. ...
One of the contributing factors to the transmission of antibiotic resistance during the Hajj is over-use of antibiotics [6], [7]. In a cohort of 820 pilgrims, 84% received antibiotics for upper respiratory tract infection [7]. In another study of 2070 Pakistani pilgrims, 17% had received ...
37. Candida spp. causes mucocutaneous and systemic infections, but the key challenge is the management of invasive candidemia (blood stream infection)38. Invasive candidemia is an emerging infection and accounts for more than 50,000 deaths every year worldwide39. Antifungal resistance and multidrug...
Human pathogenic fungi and bacteria pose a huge threat to human life, accounting for high rates of mortality every year. Unfortunately, the past few years have seen an upsurge in multidrug resistance pathogens. Consequently, finding an effective alternat

In the case of the 1918 flu, overcrowding in poorly lit and poorly ventilated enclosures raised associated risks of infection, a major reason that the City of Boston was badly hit by the flu until exposure to sunlight was introduced [[7], [8], [9], [10]]. By one anonymous editorial ...
Since animal models are not within the scope of this article, referral for protocols is made to the book: Handbook of Animal Models of Infection (Zak and Sande, 1999). 5. Compound handling and storage The most frequently used solvents to make up test compound solutions include dimethyl ...
