Liposomal Amphotericin-B in Saline Shows Promising Efficacy against Candida auris compared to Azoles, Echinocandins and Other Amphotericin-B Formulations in Dextrose and Deoxycholate Suspension

Fungal infection caused by Candida auris is now a global crisis. However, its multidrug-resistant nature and onerous identification have left limited therapeutic options resulting in 30-60% mortality. Amphotericin-B (AmB), a broad-spectrum and a potent fungicidal with a rare resistance pattern, is considered a gold-standard antifungal drug. Yet, its antifungal potential is not fully recognized under the pretext of its potential nephrotoxicity. Liposomal AmB formulations are safer than AmB-Deoxyc...

Multidrug-resistant (MDR) and virulent pathogenic strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Pa) are among the most dangerous pathogens in healthcare-associated infections. In this study, a comparative analysis was performed on two clinical Pa strains from pneumonia patients, 1) An acute strain (CMC-115) and 2) A chronic multidrug- and carbapenemresistant strain (CMC-097) with distinct phenotypic and genetic characteristics. A transcriptome analysis using both the Pseudomonas DNA GeneChip microarray and...

Article Type: Review Article | First Published: April 30, 2021

Since photosynthesis is the primary process through which light energy absorbed and converted into organic matter, thus, plant chlorophyll pigment (forms A and B) plays an essential role in the progression absorbed solar energy and synthesis of organic matter in a plant. Therefore, this paper aims at the extent to which the optical activity of chlorophyll molecules monitored and methods (non-destructive and destructive) for quantification of chlorophyll content in plants. These methods using to ...
