Las infecciones bacterianas asociadas a catéteres son un problema nosocomial común. La incidencia y la resistencia de las bacterias ESKAPE en este tipo de infecciones, motiva la búsqueda de alternativas con el propósito de sustituir el uso de antibióticos y disminuir las infecciones. En este sentido el tratamiento superficial mediante plasma es una...
Development of an ideal wound dressing with effective function for healing various types of wounds is the ultimate desire of the researchers. Natural-based compounds such as polysaccharides and phytochemicals offer useful properties making them perfect candidates for wound management. Polysaccharides-based hydrogels with an interconnected three-dim...
Phytogenic additives have been shown to act as a substitute for antibiotics because of their functionality in breaking up bacterial membranes, being effective in combating microorganisms and acting as antioxidants. Used in a strategic way, in promoting action, it will mainly favor the intestinal condition, increasing the zootechnical gains and incr...

The methane mitigating potential of various plant-based polyphenol sources is known, but effects of combinations have rarely been tested. The aim of the present study was to determine whether binary and 3-way combinations of such phenol sources affect ruminal fermentation less, similar or more intensively than separate applications. The extracts us...

The extracts of Plathymenia reticulata and Connarus favosus are widely used in the folk medicine. The potential protective effects of these extracts have been evaluated against cadmium in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and against mercurial contamination in zebrafish Danio rerio. In yeast, both extracts efficiently protected the Δycf1 mutant s...

Copper(II) oxide (CuO), manganese dioxide (MnO2), and silver (Ag) nanoparticles were synthesized using Kalopanax pictus plant extract. The nanoparticle synthesis was monitored using UV-visible spectra. The occurrence of each peak at 368, 404, and 438 nm wavelength indicated the synthesis of CuO, MnO2, and Ag nanoparticles, respectively. The synthes...

BackgroundIt had been demonstrated that sugars from various plants can act as potent agents, which induce apoptosis of cancer cells.MethodsUsing HPLC, we fractionated a mixture of two plant extracts from the plant family Solanaceae, namely Capsicum chinense and the plant family Amaryllidaceae namely Allium sativum. We evaluated the effect of differ...
