Update on the role of antiseptics in the management of chronic wounds with critical colonisation and/or biofilm
Biofilms play a major role in delaying chronic wounds from healing. A wound infiltrated with biofilm, or "critically colonised" wound, may become clinically infected if the number of microbes exceeds a critical level. Chronic wound biofilms represent a significant treatment challenge by demonstrating recalcitrance towards antimicrobial agents. Howe...
Novel natural product-based oral topical rinses and toothpastes to prevent periodontal diseases
There is increasing public interest in natural or herbal-based healthcare products. This trend is not only visible in supermarkets and dental practices, but also in the scientific world. An improving number of clinical trials are being conducted to validate the claims made about these products in regards to periodontal health. Among single componen...
Multi-Stress Induction of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis MbcTA Bactericidal Toxin-Antitoxin System.
Published in Toxins
MbcTA is a type II toxin/antitoxin (TA) system of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The MbcT toxin triggers mycobacterial cell death in vitro and in vivo through the phosphorolysis of the essential metabolite NAD+ and its bactericidal activity is neutralized by physical interaction with its cognate antitoxin MbcA. Therefore, the MbcTA system appears as a...
Effect of Ultra-high temperature processing on the physicochemical properties and antibacterial activity of d-limonene e...
The objectives of the present work were to investigate the influence of Gum Arabic (GA) on the physicochemical properties and ultra-high temperature (UHT) processability of beta-lactoglobulin(beta-lg)-stabilized D-limonene emulsions. Moreover, we also wanted to evaluate the antimicrobial efficiency and mechanism of beta-lg-GA bilayer D-limonene emu...

Biocidal activity of plant-derived compounds against Phytophthora infestans : an alternative approach to late blight man...
The current study aimed to evaluate the potential biocontrol capabilities of different essential oils (EOs) including juniper, tea tree, clove, thyme, cinnamon, turmeric, pepper and rosemary at application rates of 0.41, 0.83, 1.66, 3.33 and 6.66 mu L mL(-1 )for control of Phytophthora infestans; the causal agent of potato late blight in vivo and u...
Recent advances in food colloidal delivery systems for essential oils and their main components
Background: Recently, the production of 'clean label' products as a potential strategy to eliminate the generation and utilization of synthetic ingredients (particularly preservatives) requires a lot of attention in different industries, including the food industry. Plant-based compounds, including essential oils (EOs), as well as their main compon...
A review on the preparation of chitosan oligosaccharides and application to human health, animal husbandry and agricultu...
Chitosan oligosaccharides (COS) are the degraded products of chitin or chitosan prepared by chemical or enzymatic hydrolysis. As compared to chitosan, COS not only exhibit some specific physicochemical properties such as excellent water solubility, biodegradability and biocompatibility, but also have a variety of functionally biological activities ...
The Use of Selected Bacteria and Yeasts to Control Vibrio spp. in Live Food
Published in Antibiotics
Vibrio species are a significant causative of mass mortality in mariculture worldwide, which can quickly accumulate in live food and transmit into the larval gut. With restrictions on the use of antibiotics in aquaculture, finding a proper solution to reduce the risk of Vibriosis is vital. This study aimed to evaluate the susceptibility of Vibrio h...
