Abstract In the present study authors establish the influence of complex cation on the structure formation, crystal packing, antimicrobial activity and enzyme activation of the previously described isostructural [M(phen) 3 ] 2 [Sn 2 (μ‐Tart) 2 (H 2 Tart) 2 ] complexes (M(II)=Fe( 1 ), Co( 2 ), Ni( 3 Читати далі
Abstract The present work aimed to assess the general antagonistic activity against opportunistic pathogens and to compare antagonistic action spectra of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains, isolated from Ukrainian traditional fermented foods. Overall, 161 profiles of the antagonistic activity spectrum were obtained from 1056 LAB strains. Among them, 114 profiles Читати далі
Unique properties of silver nanoparticles (NPs) ensure their wide applications, in biomedicine; for this reason, it is very important carefully to study the toxicity of such NPs. The influence of silver nanoparticles coated with natural resin (Ag NPs) on the morphological and functional features of healthy BHK-21 and cancerous Hep-2 Читати далі
Nanosized composites CeO2–Ag, La2O3–Ag, and TiO2–Ag are a class of nanomaterials suitable for photocatalysis, optical devices, and photoelectrochemical elements. Further, nanocomposites with several wt.% of silver can be used as creating materials for pathogenic virus inactivation with pandemic-neutralizing potential. Thus, CeO2–Ag, La2O3–Ag, and TiO2–Ag nanocomposites are prospective materials due to Читати далі
Abstract Over the last 10 years, the antiviral and antimicrobial activities of non-functionalised inorganic nanoparticles against different pathogens were experimentally shown. This effect has attracted the attention of scientists due to the COVID-19 pandemic; however, its mechanism is still unclear. For understanding the mechanism of nanoparticle’s action, it is important Читати далі
The species of Comamonas testosteroni is the most common human pathogen of the genus, which can be associated with acute appendicitis, infections of the bloodstream, the peritoneal cavity, cerebrospinal fluid, inflammatory bowel disease, and in general, bacteremia. According to the literature, Comamonas testosteroni has destructive activity to a wide range Читати далі
