Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPrevalence and Antibiotic-Sensitivity of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in Pyogenic Skin Affections of Animals and HumanMaha I. Hamed, Sylvia O. Ahmed, Doaa S. Sayed, Hossam-Elden M. HassanMRSA infections commonly present as skin and soft tissue infections in man and animals. Treatment usually includes opening of abscess and drainage with or without antibiotic therapy. MRSA is usually resistant to certain antibiotics including methicillin, oxacillin, penicillin and ampicillin. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of MRSA in man and animals with suppurative … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 4 Apr 2019 · 7,190 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsBacteria Contaminants and their Antibiotic Sensitivity from Selected Herbal Medicinal Products from Eldoret and Mombasa, KenyaLucia Keter, Richard Too, Nicholas Mwikwabe et al.Herbal products are used worldwide for the treatment and prevention of various diseases and currently represent a substantial proportion of the global drug market. However, these products have the potential of being contaminated by different microorganisms due to poor hygienic practices during handling, processing and packaging. The main aim of this study was to evaluate microbial quality of herbal products … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 28 Jan 2016 · 17,160 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Review on the Extraction of Antibacterial Bioactive Compounds from Tanzanian Medicinal Plants Using CO₂-Expanded Liquid TechniqueWajihu Ahmada, Emrod Elisante, Neema Msuya et al.The threat of antimicrobial resistance has resulted in the need to search for alternative cures from medicinal plants. This review examines the relevance and suitability of using the carbon dioxide expanded liquid extraction (CXLE) method in extracting bioactive compounds from selected medicinal plants in Tanzania. The study focuses on their potential as antimicrobial agents against common pathogenic bacteria. It highlights … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 22 Apr 2026 · 2,287 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Analysis of Surface Microhardness and Antimicrobial Activity of Conventional and Bioactive Composite Materials for Dental RestorationsBruno Fongaro Dalbosco, Rafael da Silva Vanolli, Poliana Maria de Faveri Cardoso et al.This study evaluated the fluoride release capability, antimicrobial activity, and surface microhardness of bioactive composite resins, critical properties for the effectiveness and durability of dental materials in restorative procedures. Conventional and bioactive composite resins with varying viscosities were tested. Specimens of each resin type were prepared and stored in physiological saline solution for 24 hours to simulate oral conditions. Surface … …Current Research in Dentistry, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 29 Jan 2026 · 2,809 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMorphological Diversity of Isolated Mycobacterial Cultures in the Republic of Kazakhstan: Implications for Diagnostics and TreatmentAssiya Borsynbayeva, Kairat Turgenbayev, Gulzhauhar Sarsenova et al.The study of mycobacterial morphology in the Republic of Kazakhstan is relevant due to the increasing burden of tuberculosis and other mycobacterial diseases. The aim of this study was to comprehensively describe the morphological characteristics of different mycobacterial species identified in Kazakhstan, which will help to improve diagnostic methods and develop new approaches to treatment. Comparative and cross-cultural analyses were … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 4 · 1 Dec 2025 · 2,203 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 abstractImpact of Multiplex PCR Panel on Reducing Broad-Spectrum Antibiotic Use in Ventilator-Associated PneumoniaMaría Inés Staneloni, Emilio F. Huaier Arriazu et al.The extended use of broad-spectrum antimicrobials contribute to the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance. This study evaluated the impact of a multimodal strategy aiming at reducing the duration of broad-spectrum antimicrobial therapy in Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP). Conducted in a single Intensive Care Unit (ICU), this quasi-experimental, retrospective study compares a pre-intervention period (08/01/2018-07/01/2019) with an intervention period (08/01/2022-07/01/2023). Adult patients … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 8 Jul 2025 · 6,582 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
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBacterial Resistance in Primary Bloodstream Infections in the COVID-19 Pandemic: What has Changed at a Reference Hospital in Northeastern Brazil?Jonathan Da Silva Xavier, Jorge Luiz Nobre Rodrigues, Caroline Mary Gurgel Dias Florêncio et al.The increased use of central venous catheters due to the severity of COVID-19 cases and the difficulty in implementing preventive Healthcare-Associated Infection measures contributed to worsening an already challenging scenario of bacterial resistance. Characterizing the impact of these significant health crises on the bacterial resistance profile is necessary to strengthen antimicrobial control protocols in an effort to decrease morbidity.
