Nanomaterials are increasingly used to the targeting of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria as an alternative to antibiotics. Bacterial infections are a major cause of chronic infections and mortality. People requirement for new materials for pathogenic bacteria treatment. It seems that nanomaterial-based strategies can be resolving this problem. In this research, improved antibacterial na...

background: recent analyses of hospital outbreaks have documented the spread of resistance to imipenem, which is cur­rently a major problem among gram positive and gram-negative bacteria. the aim of this study was to describe the rate of gram- positive and gram-negative isolates resistance to imipenem as an antibiotic. methods: recorded files of 242 hospitalized patients with at least one sampl...

In recent years, a group of antibacterial proteins produced by gram-positive bacteria have attracted great interest in their potential use as food preservatives and as antibacterial agents to combat certain infections due to gram-positive pathogenic bacteria. They are ribosomally synthesized peptides of 30 to less than 60 amino acids, with a narrow to wide antibacterial spectrum against gram-po...

Bacteriophage research has seen many peaks and troughs over the past century ascending with phage therapy and application in the early 1900’s; a research peak which was largely overshadowed by the dawning of the antibiotic era, and which has now deservedly regained attention as an approach against the problematic rise in antibiotic-resistant pathogenic bacteria. Following this initial scientifi...
