Anti-Infective Agents - Volume 21, Issue 3, 2023

Enterococcus faecalis is a common opportunistic pathogen that can infect various tissues in the human body and in particular, the oral cavity. It has been implicated in periodontal disease, oral mucosal lesions in immunocompromised patients, peri-implantitis, peri-radicular abscesses, and root canal infections. They are also most prevalent in secondary endodontic infections and are recognized as treatment-resistant bacteria in Read More

Background: Test substrates are routinely used in laboratories to test the efficacy of various reactions, and while many substrates have found success as test substrates, not much is known about their potential intrinsic properties. On that note, some bromoaniline compounds were synthesized and repurposed by studying their antibacterial activity. Methods: The in-vitro antibacterial tests were done against S. aureus, Read More

Nutritionally variant streptococci (NVS) were assumed to be nutritional mutants of the viridans group of streptococci, but they are now considered as other Streptococcus species. Due to their difficult nature, to date, the detection and treatment of NVS are challenging. This review aims at a compilation of a comprehensive study on literature reporting the microbiological characteristics of NVS species, their detection, and tre Read More

Background: The emerging antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are a pressing global concern. Furthermore, the limited number of available antifungal agents requires the discovery of new antimicrobials. Introduction: This paper focused on the isolation and characterization of an actinobacterium designated S10, the study of its antimicrobial activity, on the one hand, and the optimization of a Read More

Introduction: Drug development has a great deal to gain from the therapeutic and preventative actions of medicinal plants and their derivatives. In order to introduce active medicinal herbs and phytochemicals against viral infections of the respiratory system, we tried to focus on a vast amount of data. Methods: From 2000 to the present, articles from Web of Science, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Pub- Med, and Google Scholar were ta Read More
