Background: Efflux pumps such as MexEF-OprN and mexXY-OprM play an important role in the resistance of Pseudomonas Aeruginosa ( P. aeruginosa ) to antibiotics. The present study aimed to assess the reduced expression of efflux pump genes of P. aeruginosa with Satureja Khuzistanica essential oil (SKEO). Methods: The present cross-sectional study was...

Chronic respiratory tract infection and relapsing exacerbations worsen the quality and reduce the life expectancy of patients with bronchiectasis. This work aimed to identify the spectrum of pathogens and to determine their profile of antibiotic resistance in the sputum of patients with bronchiectasis in the Dnipro region. Sputum of 60 patients in ...

Background: Due to extensive damage to the skin, burn victims may acquire life-threatening infections. Though the skin primarily protects against microbial invasions, a large number of bacteria, fungi, and viruses can be isolated from burn patients, specifically Pseudomonas aeruginosa , a gram-negative bacterium with both intrinsic and acquired ant...

La mucoviscidose (MV) est une maladie génétique rare, causée par la mutation génétique du gène CFTR. Ce gène code un transporteur des ions chlorures, appelé CFTR (Cystic Fibrosis Trans-membrane conductance Regulator) que l’on trouve dans divers organes du corps humain. Cette mutation entraine un défaut du transport ionique. La MV est responsable d’...

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is common in chronic rhinosinusitus (CRS) and frequently resistant to antibiotic treatment. We recently described the ciprofloxacin and ivacaftor-releasing biodegradable sinus stent (CISS)-a drug-delivery system that administers ciprofloxacin and the mucociliary activator (ivacaftor) at high local concentrations with prolonge...

Background: The use of antibiotics is common, but its excessive or improper use leads to antibiotic resistance. Consequently, scientists have been interested in exploring traditional medicine to identify a new source of anti-bacterial agents. The present study aimed to conduct a systematic review to determine the anti-bacterial activity of Satureja...

Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by persistent inflammation and bacterial infection. Ciprofloxacin and azithromycin are commonly prescribed antibiotics for CRS, but the ability to provide targeted release in the sinuses could mitigate side effects and improve drug concentrations at the infected site. This...

We recently developed a novel ciprofloxacin-coated sinus stent capable of releasing antibiotics over a sustained period of time. Ivacaftor is a cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) potentiator that has synergistic bactericidal activity with ciprofloxacin and also enhances sinus mucociliary clearance. The objective of this stud...
