Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsUnique Characteristic Features of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis in Relation to Immune SystemRajni, Laxman S. MeenaProblem statement: Tuberculosis is a leading global mortality factor which has not been effectively controlled, with 1.7 million deaths per year and 8.9 million new cases. Aerobic microbe Mycobacterium Tuberculosis H37Rv (MTB) is the causative agent of tuberculosis. Approach: It is unique among prokaryotes due to its exceptional features contributing to its survival within the hostile environment of macrophages. Results: … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 16 Aug 2011 · 17,211 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrevalence and Determinants of Antibiotic Use by the Elderly in Marrakech, MoroccoNaima Aoutil, Mohamed Cherkaoui, Mohamed BouskraouiAntibiotics are essential for the prevention and treatment of bacterial infections; however, their inappropriate use among elderly populations poses serious risks, including the emergence of multidrug-resistant organisms. Antimicrobial resistance has become a critical global public health challenge, with irrational antibiotic use being one of its primary drivers. In Morocco, data on antibiotic use among older adults remain scarce, particularly regarding … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 1 · 13 Apr 2026 · 1,365 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy of Ageratum conyzoides L. (Asteraceae) Phytochemical Composition as Quorum-sensing Inhibitors to Combat Antibiotic-resistant Bacterial InfectionsEli Compaoré, Lassané Ouedraogo, Ablassé Rouamba et al.The rise of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections has intensified the search for plant-derived quorum-sensing (QS) inhibitors as alternative therapeutic strategies. Ageratum conyzoides L. has a long history of traditional use as an antimicrobial agent against multidrug-resistant pathogens, yet the phytochemical basis of its QS-inhibitory activity remains incompletely characterized. This study aimed to investigate the phytochemical composition of A. conyzoides and evaluate … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 1 · 3 Apr 2026 · 1,772 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of Diagnostic Tests for Fosfomycin Resistance Detection in Clinically Significant EnterobacteralesSantoshi Maruti Naik, Biranthabail Dhanashree, Himani KotianMultidrug resistance in Enterobacterales has triggered interest in old antibiotics like fosfomycin. Various methods to determine fosfomycin resistance are time-consuming and yield unpredictable results. Hence, the study was undertaken to compare the rapid fosfomycin NP test with the recommended agar dilution test and few other tests. In this cross-sectional, time-bound, prospective study, Enterobacterales (N = 110) were tested for their … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 3 · 21 Nov 2025 · 2,113 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Evaluation of Synergistic Antibacterial Effects in Blended Essential Oil against Gram-Positive and Gram-Negative PathogensMin-Gi Kwon, Jae Kyung KimThe rising emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria has heightened the search for novel antibiotic agents. Essential Oils (EOs) are complex combinations of volatile organic compounds generated by plants, with many exhibiting significant antimicrobial properties. This study evaluates the antibacterial movement of single and blended EOs against representative gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Methicillin-Resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 2 · 7 Jul 2025 · 5,481 accessesView PDFCite
