Potentials of Iron Oxide Nanoparticles (Fe3O4): As Antioxidant and Alternative Therapeutic Agent Against Common Multidrug-Resistant Microbial Species

     For the treatment of pathogenic bacterial infections, multidrug resistance (MDR) has become a major issue. The use of nanoparticles is a promising strategy for combating medication resistance in a variety of pathogens that cause deadly diseases. The goal of our research was to extract multidrug-resistant bacteria from wound infections and then use iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4) as alternative therapeutic agents in vitro. Gram staining, morphological attributes evaluation, and biochemical testing were used to assess the microbes. The Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion method was used to test MDR-bacterial strains against several antibiotics; the majority of these isolates were resistant to ceftazidime, amoxicillin, Gentamicin, and tetracycline. the iron oxide nanoparticles were produced by the co-precipitation method and were confirmed by changing the color to dark black as well as the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) analysis that shows the shape and average size between (29.03-56.54) nm. The highest effect of iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4) on the growth of Proteus.mirabilis (P.mirabilis) was as it was found that the average diameter of the inhibition zone was 22.66±1.15 mm, followed by Staphylococcus.epidermidis (S.epidermidis), Acinetobacter.baumannii (A.baumannii) with the average diameter of the inhibitory zone it was 21.66±1.52 mm, 20.33±1.53 mm respectively, and Candida.albicans (C.albicans) was 18.33±1.15 mm at 100 µgmL-1 (stock). The synthesized iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4) are used to capture rapidly microbes under the magnetic field effect. The antioxidant activity DPPH of the iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4) showed 29.3%, 42.2%, 58.6%, 67.4%, and 74 % at a concentration (6.25, 12.5, 25, 50, 100) µgmL-1 respectively, it demonstrated that the scavenging percentage increase with increasing the iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4) concentrations.

Study of Antifungal Activity of Silbum marianum Extracts Against Some Species of Imperfect Fungi

     This research was conducted to determine the effect of different concentrations of (milkthistle) Silbum marianum   leaves extracts on some plant pathogenic fungi included:      Fusarium oxysporum, Alternaria sp., and Botrytis cinerea.            Results showed the high antifungal activity of milk thistle leaves extract; this was evident at high concentration of extract (80) mg\ml, which completely inhibited the radial growth on solid media (PDA) for pathogens Fusarium oxysporum and Botrytis cinerea. While the spores of pathogen Alternaria sp. was able to  grow in all concentration which used in this study.  &n

Vaccination of chicken against Coccidiosis by using live Oocysts of different species of Eimeria

The study was conducted to vaccinate chickens against coccidiosis  using alive vaccine contain seven species of chicken Eimeria,  E. tenella, E. brunetti, E. necatrix, E. maxima, E. mevati, E. acervulina  and E. praecox.    A total of 120 chicks were divided into two main groups: broiler group and egg laying group.  The birds of each group were allocated on to three pins, each contains 20 chicks.  The birds of the experiment were vaccinated at day nine of age, with a suspension of mixed Eimeria which contain 50 Oocysts of E. tenella with a different percent of other species, respectively.  The vaccine was given to chicks in the 1st pins of each group with drinking water,  the chicks in th

GROWTH, YIELD, AND ANTIOXIDANT TRAITS OF DIFFERENT PARTS OF BEETROOT AS AFFECTED BY VERMICOMPOST AND GLUTATHIONE

This study was aimed to assess the impact of vermicompost, glutathione, and their interaction on beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.) growth, yield, and antioxidant traits. The experiment carried out at vegetable field of the College of Agricultural Engineering Sciences - University of Baghdad during fall season 2019. The experiment was conducted using factorial arrangement within Randomized Complete Block Design with two factors and three replicates (3X3X3). Applying vermicompost before cultivation represented the first factor (0, 15, 30 ton.ha-1), which symbolized (V0, V1, V2). Glutathione (0, 75, 150 mg.L-1) which symbolized (G0, G1, G2) represented the second factor. Results showed the superiority of secondary interaction treatment V2G2

Modifying effects of boswellia carteri on clarithromycine action: In vitro antibacterial study against common sensitive bacterial strains

Background:Plant-derived compounds have action alongside Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and numerous compounds, inhibit efflux pumps and hence have become known as efflux pump inhibitors. Clarithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic used to treat pharyngitis, tonsillitis, acute maxillary sinusitis and acute bacterial exacerbation of chronic bronchitis the antibacterial range is the similar as erythromycin but it is active against Mycobacterium avium complex, M.leprae and atypical mycobacteria. The in vitro antibacterial activity results of different boswellic acid compounds discovered alpha keto-boswellic acid (AKBA) to be the preponderance potent antibacterial compound alongside Gram-positive pathogens, but it showed no significant a

Small-molecule anticancer agents kill cancer cells by harnessing reactive oxygen species in an iron-dependent manner

In the course of generating a library of open-chain epothilones, we discovered a new class of small molecule anticancer agents that has no effect on tubulin but instead kills selected cancer cell lines by harnessing reactive oxygen species in an iron-dependent manner.
