First drugs which were largely used for chemotherapeutically and preventive use were the sulfonamides. Sulfonamides have a wide range of pharmacological activities such as against rheumatoid arthritis, anti-hypertensive, anti-epileptic, anti-bacterial, anti-protozoal, anti-fungal, non-peptidic vasopressin receptor antagonists, antiinflammatory, and translation initiation inhibitors. These sulfo...

Fresh-cut apples contaminated with either Listeria monocytogenes or Salmonella enterica serovar Poona, using strains implicated in outbreaks, were treated with one of 17 antagonists originally selected for their ability to inhibit fungal postharvest decay on fruit. While most of the antagonists increased the growth of the food-borne pathogens, four of them, including Gluconobacter asaii (T1-D1)...

Severe asthma with fungal sensitisation (SAFS) is characterized by poor symptoms control and frequent hospital admissions for exacerbations despite treatment with high dose inhaled steroids, long-acting beta-2 agonists and leukotriene receptor antagonists. Treatment with oral steroids is usually necessary and courses of antifungal therapy may improve asthma symptoms. We report a case refractory...

soybean, glycine max, is susceptible to a large number of disease agents such as seedling and root pathogens that cause serious damages to this crop plant. one of these soil-borne pathogens is macrophomina phaseolina, the causal agent of charcoal root rot. in this study, two bacteria, pantoea agglomerans and bacillus sp. bin, and a fungus, trichoderma harzianum t100, as potential biocontrol age...
