Background: Multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae is an important cause of healthcare-associated infection, and its persistence is enhanced by biofilm formation and virulence-associated genes. This study investigated antimicrobial susceptibili...

Abstract: Background: Routine cleaning of high-touch surfaces in the hospital may leave healthcare-associated bacteria. Resistance might be increased if antimicrobial resistance is combined with the ability to form biofilms and withstand killing b...

Background: There is a lack of phenotype-based data associated with the 2017 stage–grade framework for periodontal disease in Iraq, and subgingival biofilms maintain the periodontal dysbiosis and may include clinically relevant antimicrobial non-s...

Background: Root rot disease is one of the most prevalent and damaging conditions, resulting from various soil-borne pathogens. Objective: To investigated the individual and synergistic effects of chitosan and melatonin on the defense response of ...

Background: Ricinine is a castor alkaloid. Its significance is due to its chemical properties, biological potential and prospects of its antibacterial complexes. Objectives: To extracted and characterized from its castor garden origin, complexes w...

Aspirin remains one of the most widely used antiplatelet and anti-inflammatory agents, yet renal responses can vary with dose, exposure duration, age, baseline kidney function, and concomitant biological stressors. This study compared three plant-...

The commensal fungus Candida albicans  is a part of the typical flora of the microbiota that is frequently found on the skin and mucosal surface of healthy individuals along with the vaginal and gastrointestinal tracts. Candida can manifest i...

Menaquinone-7 (MK-7) is a long-chain vitamin K2 form produced during natto fermentation and directly participates in vitamin-K-dependent γ-carboxylation of osteocalcin. We characterized MK-7 retention in a whole-soybean natto powder produced by co...

Delivery is the first practical constraint in any oral probiotic study. We examined a BALIMONT five-strain probiotic-prebiotic powder containing Limosilactobacillus fermentum, Levilactobacillus brevis, Lactobacillus gasseri, Pediococcus pentosaceu...

A fermentation-oriented synbiotic has two immediate formulation requirements: the probiotic cells must remain viable during storage, and enough cells must survive gastrointestinal exposure to encounter fermentable substrate. We characterized a 3.0...
