“…Nearly similar incidences were obtained by Hassan et al (2012), Abd El-Razik et al (2011 recorded the prevalence of C. albicans and A. fumigatus were (23.07%) and (3.84%), respectively in mastitic buffaloes. While higher results of C. albicans (51.7%) were obtained by Al-Abedi et al (2020) from mastitis in Basrah province.…”

Nowadays, there are progressive advancements in the biomedical employment of nanotechnology in human and animal health. Today, the dangers of infectious animal diseases and the continuous application of traditional antibiotics resulted in the elevation of the activities of the drugs resistant genes and the failure of their control. Hence, it is necessary to prevent fungal and bacterial pathogens pollution and their toxicity in dairy animal products. Sixty samples were collected from dairy buffalo farms suffering from subclinical mastitis (20 Samples of each from subclinical mastitis milk, animal feeds, and bedding). The species of Staphylococcus is considered the most predominant species, and Staphylococcus aureus was the most prevalent bacterial isolate. While, yeast, especially Candida albicans, was the most dominant fungal isolate from different samples of dairy buffalo farms. Our antibiogram of S. aureus and Candida albicans showed a high resistance rate against several traditional antimicrobial agents. Therefore, searching for effective drug materials to overcome drug resistance is needed. Herein, ZnONPs and Curcumin are evaluated singly and, in a composite, to inhibit the growth of C. albicans and S. aureus. The inhibitory dose of ZnONPs for C. albicans and S. aureus were (600 and 600 μg /ml) and in Curcumin were (2% and 3%), respectively. However, the hybrid nanocomposite of ZnONPs (100 μg/ml) with Curcumin (0.25% and 1%) caused suppression of the growth of these pathogens. The nanocomposite of low levels of ZnONPs (100 μg /ml) with (0.25% curcumin) significantly increased the inhibitory effects against C. albicans and S. aureus. The molecular study to detect the efficiency of the treatment doses indicated that the exposure of C. albicans and S. aureus to a low dose of ZnONPs (100 µg/ml) did not affect the DNA expression of virulent genes. While the high dose (600 µg/ml) prevented the DNA expression. However, in the Curcumin treatments of isolates with low doses (0.25), the genes' DNA expression was not affected. While, the high dose (1%), removed the DNA band. All inhibition and removal of virulent genes' DNA of pathogens can be obtained by the combination of low levels of ZnONPs and Curcumin. Hence, it is concluded that the nanocomposites of ZnONPs and Curcumin caused significant effects against pathogens.

“…The API strip consists of 10 wells containing dehydrated substrates, enabling the performance of 12 biochemical identification tests. After incubation for 18 -24hrs, results were appeared by spontaneous color changes and read visually according to the standards scale, and identification was obtained by consulting the standards lists of profiles supplied in the package [20].…”

Background: The recent emergence of fungal resistance strains has caused concern in medical settings. Medicinal plants continue to be viable sources of bioactive chemicals with therapeutic potential. These compounds can be extracted in different techniques using various solvents that give rise to a wide variety of extracted bioactive compounds that act as anti-fungal. The research aimed to evaluate the effect of fenugreek seed extracts on resistant isolates of Candida spp. isolated from sever COVID-19 patients. Methodology: The study was conducted from August 2021 to November 2022 at Al-Imam Al-Hussein Medical City and Al-Hayat Respiratory Diseases Units. Under a specialist's physician's supervision, severe COVID-19 cases were collected. The collected 455 sputum samples were examined directly and cultured on Sabouraud′s Dextrose agar (SDA) media; growth colonies were distinguished and used Grams stain with the API system before the antifungal susceptibility test was performed in accordance with clinical and laboratory standards institute (CLSI 2020) by disc diffusion method to differentiate the resistance microorganism. The extraction process was conducted using the soxhlet technique (100 grams of seed powder and 800 milliliters of solvents (chloroform, methanol, and water) for eight hours. Electrical rotatory evaporators were used to evaporate the extract to get the concentrated crude extracts. FTIR and GC-MS instruments used to detection of bioactive compounds in crude fenugreek seed extracts(aqueous, methanol, and chloroform). Then, different concentrations of each extract (25, 50, 100, and 150 mg/ml) and their effect against the tested resistance study isolated were examined by well diffusion method and Minimum inhibitory concentration was measured. Results: A 455 were enrolled in this study. Patients' ages ranged from 20 to 91 years (mean 52.23, SD 15.009). This study indicated that more than half of the samples were males [(262) 57.6%] and [(193) 42.4%] were females. The FTIR and GC-MS showed the methanolic extract potent the most bioactive compounds, followed by the chloroform and water extracts.
