TiO < sub > 2 < /sub > Nanorod Decorated with MoS < sub > 2 < /sub > Nanospheres: An Efficient Dual-functional Photocatalyst for Antibiotic Degradation and Hydrogen Production
This article presents the engineering of a binary heterostructured photocatalyst by combining TiO2 (nanorods) and MoS2 nanosphere using a straightforward solvothermal method and the assessment of the phase structures, morphologies, and optical properties of the resulting nanocomposites using diverse analytical techniques. The TiO2(Rod)/MoS2 composite exhibits remarkable efficacy in degrading ciprofloxacin, achieving 93% removal rate within one hour, which is four times higher than that of bare TiO2. Moreover, the optimized TiO2(Rod)/MoS2 presents an outstanding hydrogen production rate of 7415 μmol g-1, which is ∼24 tim...

Interaction of beauvericin in combination with antibiotics against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella typhimurium
Toxicon. 2024 Apr 12:107713. doi: 10.1016/j.toxicon.2024.107713. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMultidrug resistance in bacteria is a major challenge worldwide, increasing both mortality by infections and costs for the health systems. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to find new drugs against resistant bacteria. Beauvericin (BEA) is a mycotoxin produced by entomopathogenic and other fungi of the genus Fusarium. Our work determines the effect of BEA combined with antibiotics, which has not been previously explored. The combination analysis included different antibiotics against non-methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus a...

Emerging threats of high biofilm formation and antibiotic resistance in clinical methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolates from Pakistan
CONCLUSIONS: Clinical MRSA strains exhibit a substantial potential for biofilm formation, contributing to a resistant phenotype. Routine antibiotic testing in clinical settings that overlook the biofilm aspect may lead to the failure of empiric antibiotic therapy.PMID:38614413 | DOI:10.1016/j.meegid.2024.105592 (Source: Infection, Genetics and Evolution)

Enhanced bactericidal, antibiofilm and antioxidative response of Lawsonia inermis leaf extract synthesized ZnO NPs loaded with commercial antibiotic
Bioprocess Biosyst Eng. 2024 Apr 12. doi: 10.1007/s00449-024-03000-9. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGlobally, antibiotic resistance is a challenging issue in healthcare sector. The emergence of multiple drug-resistant bacteria has forced us to modify existing medicines and or formulate newer medicines that are effective and inexpensive. In this perspective, this study involves the formation of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) by utilizing the Lawsonia inermis (Li) leaf extract. The prepared L. inermis leaf extract mediated ZnO NPs (Li-ZnO NPs) were bio-physically characterized. The antibacterial and radical scavenging ef...
