Curr Microbiol. 2023 Sep 4;80(10):335. doi: 10.1007/s00284-023-03450-6.ABSTRACTStaphylococcus aureus is a serious pathogen that can survive within host cells after a typical course of treatment completion, leading to chronic infection. Knowledge of host proteomic patterns after clearance of this pathogen from cells is limited. Here, we looked for S. aureus clearance biomarkers produced by in vitro-infected leukocytes. Extracellular proteins from primary human leukocytes infected with S. aureus ATCC 25923 were investigated as possible treatment-monitoring clearance biomarkers by applying a proteomics approach combining liqu...

Bio-based antimicrobial food packaging films based on hydroxypropyl starch/polyvinyl alcohol loaded with the biosynthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles
Int J Biol Macromol. 2023 Jul 28:126011. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.126011. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBio-based active food packaging materials have received much attention in the last decades. It is known that the traditional materials used for food packaging applications lack some critical characteristics such as resistance to the harmful microbes that cause damage to the preserved foods. Therefore, the current study aimed to find alternative packaging films based on efficient polymers. This research work was designed to prepare film mats using hydroxypropyl starch (HPS), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), palmitic acid (PA)...

Antibacterial Activity of Boron Compounds Against Biofilm-Forming Pathogens
This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activity of nine boron derivatives against biofilm-forming pathogenic bacteria. The effect of boron derivatives (CMB, calcium metaborate; SMTB, sodium metaborate tetrahydrate; ZB, zinc borate; STFB, sodium tetra fluorine borate; STB, sodium tetraborate; PTFB, potassium tetra fluor borate; APTB, ammonium pentabo-rate tetrahydrate; SPM, sodium perborate monohydrate; Borax, ATFB, ammonium tetra fluorine borate) on bacteria isolated from blood culture was determined by the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) method. Then, biofilm formation potentials on microplates, tubes, and ...

Self-assembled carboxymethyl chitosan/zinc alginate composite film with excellent water resistant and antimicrobial properties for chilled meat preservation
Int J Biol Macromol. 2023 Jul 8:125752. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.125752. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA major way to reduce meat waste is to extend the shelf life of chilled meat with appropriate packaging. However, most of the packaging film cannot keep meat fresh because of its poor antibacterial and water resistance performance. In this paper, a composite film for chilled meat packaging was synthesized by simple self-assembly of zinc ions with chelating carboxyl groups. Introducing zinc ions into the composite system endows excellent water resistance and antibacterial properties to the film, which are demonstrated ...

Enhanced photocatalytic efficiencies in a bifunctional ZnO/PVA nanocomposites derived from Capparis zeylanica L
Environ Res. 2023 Jun 21:116482. doi: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.116482. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe modern food sector demands versatile nanocomposites of polymers for food to wrappers to inactivate germs linked to foods in order to ensure quality throughout the packaging process. Recently, it has become quite appealing to use zinc oxide nanocomposite with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) assistance for food storage containers. Variable combinations of zinc acetate and Capparis zeylanica leaf extract (3:1, 1:7, 1:3, and 1:1) were used to create nanostructured ZnO at the desired pH (10.5). ZnO/PVA nanocomposites films were created...
