Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCytocompatibility and Antimicrobial Properties of Silver Nanoparticles-Loaded AMPs in the Oral CavityYanli Lv, Weikai ZhangPostoperative infection following oral metal implantation is a key factor that affects the success rate of surgery. This infection is mainly caused by bacterial biofilms. Traditional single antibacterial coatings have limitations, including a narrow antibacterial spectrum and poor cytotoxicity or stability. This study combined silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and the synthetic antimicrobial peptide GL13K using electrostatic self-assembly technology to create a … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 24 Apr 2026 · 1,688 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of an IgY-Based Immunomodulatory Combo on the Internalization of Staphylococcus aureus by HC11 Cells: Preliminary in vitro Studies IIZarete Jatna Isha, Adu-Addai BenjaminInfectious mastitis is a common disease of cattle of economic significance. Clinical mastitis affects between 20 to 25% of dairy cows each year. Staphylococcus aureus (SA) causes an estimated 10-11.7% of bovine infectious mastitis cases in the US, reducing milk production, increasing morbidity, increasing antibiotic use and milk waste, and fueling premature culling. The SA mastitis cure rate varies from … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 1 Feb 2026 · 2,817 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImproving Rumen Fermentation by Inoculation of Cellulolytic Bacteria Isolated from Anoa, Bison, Muntjak and Timor Deer FaecalSri Suharti, Erika Julian Cahyani, Iksan Qodri Pramarta et al.Tropical endemic herbivores such as anoa (Bubalus depressicornis), bison (Bos javanicus), muntjak (Muntiacus muntjak), and Timor deer (Rusa timorensis), can digest various types of fibrous feed because their digestive tract has high cellulolytic bacteria and those can be found in their feces. Previously, we isolated and identified cellulolytic bacteria from the feces of anoa, bison, muntjak, and Timor deer. This … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 4 · 30 Oct 2023 · 5,656 accessesView PDF Cite
