Abstract:We aim to assess the antibacterial and anti-biofilm properties of Niosome-encapsulated Imipenem. After isolating Staphylococcus epidermidis isolates and determining their microbial sensitivity, their ability to form biofilms was examined using plate microtiter assay. Various formulations of Niosome-encapsulated Imipenem were prepared using the thin-film hydration method, Minimum Biofilm Inhibitory Concentration (MBIC) and Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) were determined, and biofilm genes expression was … Show more
“…A unique technique for the treatment of MRSE that has been investigated is the use of rosin maleic anhydride nanoparticles. The multiple antibiotics resistance rate in our study was 56.3%, which is consistent with earlier published research [ 27 ]. According to that study, 65.43% of S. epidermidis with multidrug resistance had generalized antibiotic resistance.…”
The rise of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis (MRSE) makes it difficult to treat infections that increase morbidity and mortality rates in various parts of the world. The study’s objectives include identifying the clinical prevalence, antibiogram profile, and Gompertz growth kinetics of MRSE treated with synthetically created nanoparticles of rosin obtained from Pinus roxburghii. A total of 64 of 200 clinical isolates of S. epidermidis (32% of the total) displayed sensitivity (40.62%) and resistance (59.37%) to seven different antibiotic classes. The most sensitive patterns of antibiotic resistance were seen in 20 (78.95%) and 24 (94.74%) isolates of MRSE against piperacillin/tazobactam and cephradine, respectively. Fosfomycine was found to be the most effective antibiotic against MRSE in 34 (89.47%) isolates, followed by amoxicillin. Successfully produced, described, and used against MRSE were rosin maleic anhydride nanoparticles with a size range of 250 nm to 350 nm. Five different concentrations of 25, 50, 75, 100, and 150 mg mL−1 rosin maleic anhydride nanoparticles were investigated to treat MRSE resistance. According to Gompertz growth kinetics, the maximal growth response was 32.54% higher and the lag phase was also 10.26% longer compared to the control when the amount of rosin maleic anhydride nanoparticles was increased in the MRSE. Following the application of rosin maleic anhydride nanoparticles, the growth period is extended from 6 to 8 h. A potential mechanism for cell disintegration and distortion is put forth. This investigation came to the conclusion that rosin maleic anhydride nanoparticles better interfere with the surface of MRSE and demonstrated a preferred bacteriostatic action.

“…In addition, no significant toxicity resulted from cell treatment with empty niosomes. The nontoxic effects of the free niosomes and amikacin-loaded niosomes on HFF cells viability in all concentrations were the same as previously reported (Piri-Gharaghie et al 2022 ). Fig.…”
Amikacin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic used in drug-resistant bacterial infections. The spread of bacterial infections has become a severe concern for the treatment system because of the simultaneous drug resistance bacteria and SARS-CoV-2 hospitalized patients. One of the most common bacteria in the development of drug resistance is
Klebsiella
strains, which is a severe threat due to the possibility of biofilm production. In this regard, recent nanotechnology studies have proposed using nanocarriers as a practical proposal to improve the performance of antibiotics and combat drug resistance. Among drug nanocarriers, niosomes are considered for their absorption mechanism, drug coverage, and biocompatibility. In this study, niosomal formulations were synthesized by the thin-layer method. After optimizing the synthesized niosomes, their properties were evaluated in terms of stability and drug release rate. The toxicity of the optimal formulation was then analyzed. The effect of free amikacin and amikacin encapsulated in niosome on biofilm inhibition were compared in multi-drug resistant isolated
Klebsiella
strains, and the
mrkD
gene expression was calculated. The MIC and MBC were measured for the free drug and amikacin loaded in the noisome. The particle size of synthesized amikacin-loaded niosomes ranged from 175.2 to 248.3 nm. The results showed that the amount of lipid and the molar ratio of tween 60 to span 60 has a positive effect on particle size, while the molar ratio of surfactant to cholesterol has a negative effect. The highest release rate in amikacin-loaded niosomes is visible in the first 8 h, and then a slower release occurs up to 72 h. The cytotoxicity induced by amikacin-loaded niosome is significantly less than the cytotoxicity of free amikacin in HFF cells (***
p
< 0.001, **
p
< 0.01). The
mrkD
mRNA expression level in the studied strains was significantly reduced after treatment with niosome-containing amikacin compared to free amikacin (***
p
< 0.001). It was confirmed that in the presence of the niosome, the amikacin antibacterial activity increased while the concentration of the drug used decreased, the formation of biofilm inhibited, and reduced antibiotics resistance in MDR
Klebsiella
strains.
“…Selected ion monitoring (SIM) chromatograms were used to assess the peak regions of mycotoxin and degradation products for the standards and treated samples. Anjum et al discovered AFB1 UV-degraded compounds m/z 331 and m/z 317 [37] , [38] , [39] , [40] , [41] , while Iram et al discovered AFB2-degraded compound m/z 301 [38] , [39] , [40] . In the present study, the effect of UV therapy on rice quality was also investigated.…”
