Chronic antibiotics can harm mitochondria, metabolism, and mood. Black seed oil improves depression, sociability, and metabolism in mice exposed to ampicillin. NSO could be a helpful treatment for antibiotic-induced impairments.
Tl;dr: Scientists studied zinc oxide nanoparticles made with leaf extract, found they were effective against bacteria and fungi. Could be useful in medicine, agriculture, and aquaculture. More research needed.
Greater Celandine plant with potential for future antimicrobial drug development. Strong focus on structural and functional characterization of CM-AMP1 and its impact on bacterial proteomics under stress.
Study analyzed physicochemical composition, bioactive compounds, antimicrobial activity, and in vitro multiplication of wild blackberry species in Peruvian Andes. Results show potential for agricultural development, with R. floribundus, R. weberbaueri, and R. andicola species standing out. Management of genetic resources is supported.
A. citriodora essential oils from Palestine show strong antimicrobial and anticancer properties, especially against MRSA and melanoma cells. Potential for food industry applications.
Study tested guava leaf extract with antibiotics on uropathogenic E. coli. Guava extract showed highest synergistic effect with ofloxacin, enhancing antibiotic effectiveness, potentially delaying bacterial resistance emergence in UTI treatment.
H. virginiana L. extract showed antimicrobial and antibiofilm effects, no cytotoxicity, anti-inflammatory action, and potential to fight infections through nitric oxide production, making it a promising treatment option.
The study tested the antimicrobial effectiveness and ability to remove a layer in root canals of a kernel extract. This could be a new, unexplored option for disinfecting root canals.
