Study found high levels of antibiotic-resistant bacteria on green leafy vegetables, posing health risks. Important to monitor and prioritize food safety to prevent infections.
Scientists extracted three key compounds from the herb Salvia officinalis which effectively combat Staphylococcus aureus, a major cause of bovine mastitis. These compounds inhibit biofilm formation and disrupt existing biofilms, showing promise for alternative therapies in dairy farming.
Study showed essential oil of (REO) affects hyphal morphology, fatty acid profile, fungal metabolism, and triggers apoptosis in . Potential as antifungal surface disinfectant and fungicide replacement for anthracnose control postharvest.
Study compared natural antimicrobial agents to synthetic ones, showing potential for olive leaf extract and oleuropein to combat bacteria and fungi effectively without negative health effects.
Scientists developed PASP from avocado seed to effectively remove RO16 and CiP from water. Experimental findings show high efficiency with pseudo-second-order model and Sips isotherm. Economically viable alternative to activated carbon for CiP removal.
Study on Artemisia absinthium leaf extract shows potent antifungal activity against Fusarium oxysporum, Penicillium digitatum, and Alternaria solani. Fraction 4 contains 27 unique compounds, including Bruceine B, Guanidine, and Ethyl alpha-d-glucoside as strong inhibitors of key fungal enzymes. Potential natural alternative to synthetic fungicides.
Field trials using biochar on Brassica juncea and Lolium multiflorum showed reduced antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in plant endophytes. Bacteria play a key role in shaping ARGs profile, improving food safety and human health.
Researchers studied antiviral properties of medicinal plants in Egypt, showing potential for treating serious viral diseases. Important due to high mortality rates, lack of cures, and emergence of resistant strains.
