RNAi technology: A Novel approaches against fungal infections
Despite the introduction of new antifungal agents, resistances to antifungal therapy continue to increase and outcome of invasive fungal infections treatment is frequently suboptimal. A large amount of the recent effort in antifungal drug discovery has focused on a limited set of targets with functions known or expected to be important for fungal viability and virulence. A variety of techniques...
متن کاملAnti-Bacterial Property and Cytotoxicity of Allium Sativum and Myrtus Communis Extracts against Nosocomial Bacterial Infections
Background: Microbial infections and the resistance to antibacterial drugs are on the rise, and scientists are in search of the safest and most effective approach to overcome them. Medicinal plants are potentially effective against many microorganisms. Therefore, this study was planned to examine the antibacterial properties and cytotoxicity of the extracts of Allium sativum and Myrtus communis...
متن کاملBioinspired surfaces against bacterial infections.
Bioactive surfaces that can prevent bacterial infections are of great interest since device-related infections represent an emerging and major threat to our health-care system. For that purpose, dopamine and its derivatives have been shown to provide an exceptionally facile method for the immobilization of bioactive compounds on metal oxide surfaces through an operationally simple dip-and-rinse...
متن کاملNanoparticle-Encapsulated Chlorhexidine against Oral Bacterial Biofilms
BACKGROUND Chlorhexidine (CHX) is a widely used antimicrobial agent in dentistry. Herein, we report the synthesis of a novel mesoporous silica nanoparticle-encapsulated pure CHX (Nano-CHX), and its mechanical profile and antimicrobial properties against oral biofilms. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS The release of CHX from the Nano-CHX was characterized by UV/visible absorption spectroscopy. T...
