Anti-microbial efficacy of Vanilla planifolia leaf extract against common oral micro-biomes

open access: yesJournal of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology, 2022
Introduction:Over the past century, several antibiotics have been discovered and used to treat various microbial diseases. However, over the past few decades, with the emergence of anti-microbial resistant strains of microbiomes, it has become increasingly necessary to discover and develop alternative anti-microbial agents.

A Clinical-Based Study to Evaluate the Extent of Microbial Sensitivity Tests Performed Among ICU Patients Prescribed with Antibiotics in a Tertiary Care Hospital

open access: yesInternational Journal of Research and Review, 2023
Antibiotic resistance is recognized as a global threat to human health. ICUs are generally considered as the main source of outbreaks of multi-drug resistant bacteria. Infectious complications are one of the dominant causes of morbidity and mortality among elderly and geriatric patients, especially in the ICU. The impact of microbial resistance on them

Incorporation of Selenium into Sol–Gel‐Derived Bioactive Glass: Influence on Glass Structure, Bioactivity, and its Selective Cytotoxicity

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Selenium was incorporated into a sol–gel‐derived bioactive glass to enable sustained therapeutic ion release. The selenium‐containing glass preserved bioactivity while selectively inducing cytotoxicity in osteosarcoma cells and maintaining osteoblastic viability.

Physico-chemical Analysis, Microbial Isolation, Sensitivity Test of the Isolates and Solar Disinfection of Water Running in Community Taps and River Kandutura in Nakuru North Sub-county, Kenya [PDF]

open access: yesThe Open Microbiology Journal, 2015
Nakuru North sub-county is a peri-urban area which has both dry and wet seasons. Its residents rely mostly on untreated water sources for daily water needs due to unreliable water supply from the urban council. However, this water has not been evaluated on its quality despite residents solely depending on it.

Nanoengineered Binetworks in Multifunctional Anionic Block Polymer Mesoblends for Improved Mechanical Properties

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Mesoblends consist of a nanostructured polymer into which a second polymer is imbibed with a selective solvent. In this work, a solvent‐templatable pentablock terpolymer possessing a sulfonated midblock is modified with a hydrophilic polymer that is photocrosslinked in situ, yielding a hierarchical binetwork.
