Abstract This paper deals with the research of a new silicate-based repair mortar modified selected secondary raw materials. The aim this work is to develop chemically resistant material suitable for use in an extremely aggressive environment sewers. monitored parameters include key physical-mechanical characteristics, resistance sulphate ions and attack biogenic sulfuric acid. Chemical was tes...

Introduction: Aloe vera has anti-bacterial ability against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria; however, study, especially in multidrug resistant strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, not been evaluated yet. This study aims to determine the potential as an antituberculosis drug-resistant strains tuberculosis. Method: Stages research include production ethanol extract vera, then testing phy...

Background: The rise of antibiotic-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains has accelerated the hunt for novel drugs (TB). Objectives: This study identified a compound with strong anti-TB efficacy against several resistant M. from chemical library naphthoquinone derivatives. Methods: was designated as MDN-6 (methyl-1,4-bis(2-(diethylamino)ethoxy)-2-naphthoate). Results: It significantly inh...

The purpose of this study was to assess the properties of resistant starch (RS) III prepared from elephant foot yam starch using pullulanase enzyme. Native and gelatinized starches were subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis (pullulanase, 40 U/g per 10h), autoclaved (121°C/30 min), stored under refrigeration (4°C/24h) and then lyophilized. After preparation of resistant starch III, the morphological...

Synthetic compounds are a vital source of antimicrobial agents. To uncover therapeutically effective antimicrobial agents from a chemical library, we screened over 100,000 synthetic compounds for in vitro antimicrobial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and evaluated the in vivo therapeutic effectiveness of the hits in S. aureus-infected silkworms. Three antimicrobial ...

Following growers’ reports of herbicide control problems, populations 30 wild oats, Avena fatua, were collected from the south-east main arable counties Ireland in 2016 and investigated for occurrence potential resistance to acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) inhibitors pinoxaden, propaquizafop cycloxydim, as well acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitor mesosulfuron + iodosulfuron. Plant survival ?2...

Much remains unknown about latent infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Existing immunodiagnostic tools for this condition have various limitations, most importantly in their ability to predict disease. Randomised controlled trials have established protective efficacy of isoniazid therapy for 6-12 months among non-HIV-infected and HIV-infected subjects. While efficacy may reach 90%, accept...

Existing therapies for multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) have substantial limitations, in terms of their effectiveness, side-effect profile, and complexity of administration. Bedaquiline is a novel diarylquinoline antibiotic that has recently been investigated as an adjunct to existing therapies for MDR-TB. Currently, limited clinical data are available to evaluate the drug's safety an...

Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is considered a non-toxic, biodegradable and biocompatible polymer. CMC-based films are rated as flexible, clear, odorless, moderately tear resistant, resistant to oil grease migration, water soluble. Due its hydrophilicity, CMC can serve matrix encapsulate hydrophobic substances, like essential oils, by emulsion dispersions. The of rue (Ruta graveolens) has antifu...
