Evaluation of the effects of chitosan-loaded Curcumin-Vancomycin nanoparticles on biofilm formation in Staphylococcus aureus

Staphylococcus aureus is a major opportunistic pathogen responsible for persistent and device-related infections, largely due to its strong biofilm-forming capacity and increasing antimicrobial resistance. This study aimed to evaluate the antibiofilm effects of chitosan-loaded curcumin-vancomycin nanoparticles against...

Protective Effects of Lactobacillus‐Derived Probiotics and Postbiotics on Renal and Reproductive Function in Escherichia coli–Infected Rats

ABSTRACT Background Escherichia coli infections of the genitourinary tract are a major cause of renal and reproductive dysfunction in males, often impairing spermatogenesis and fertility. Probiotics and postbiotics have emerged as microbiota‑based interventions with strain‑specific immunomodulatory and antioxidant prop...
