Biocompatible photo-driven producers of singlet oxygen can inhibit the growth drug-resistant bacteria and tumors. In order to develop targeting generator for tumor bacterial treatment, a metal porphyrin liposome (Phy–Mn–Ls) was prepared by coordination reaction self-assembly compounds with polymer (HS–PEG–chol). The production 1O2, binding bovine serum protein (BSA) lipase, toxicity MCF-7 breas...

During the last two decades, various medicinal plants have been studied for their possible antimicrobial activity to discover new antimicrobial agents capable of resolving problems such as the development of drug resistance in pathogenic microorganisms as well as the side effects of some present antibiotics. In this study, the antibacterial activity of methanolic extract of T. pubescens (rich i...

Lead contamination in water is a widespread problem throughout the world and results from industrial use and processing of lead ore. Bio-availability of lead can be hazardous for children and causes mental retardation. The use of lead free petrol is one measure to check this pollution, but this heavy metal is also present in industrial effluents and need to be removed before these effluents are...

Background: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease of unknown etiology. There is evidence that bacteria may contribute to initiating the inflammatory response in HS patients. To date, data on bacteria found in HS lesions and their resistance rates are rare. Methods: The results of bacterial cultures and antibiotic susceptibility of the isolated bacteria obtained fr...
