Silver Nanoparticles for Enhancement of Antibiotic Antimicrobial Therapy
Abstract: With the current rise in antimicrobial resistance and infections resulting in high mortality and morbidity. There is need for novel strategies to combat these challenges such as nanoparticle technology has offered excellent opportunities. The use of metal nanoparticles such as silver with well-established antimicrobial activity conjugated with other antimicrobials has the potential to overcome the challenge of drug resistance due to its multiple mechanisms of action against microbes. This reveal …

Scleroglucan Production by Microbes and Downstream Processing
Abstract: Polymer based synthetic petroleum and plant natural polysaccharides do have the drawback of limited sources, as well as the latter's non-biodegradability. Eco-friendly, low-cost, and standardised microbial polysaccharides, on the other hand, offer a viable solution to this problem. They drew international recognition due to their original and distinctive physical and chemical propertiesas well as a diverse spectrum of industrial applications, the majority of which are rapidly becoming economically competitive. Scleroglucan, …

Antibiotics Mediated as Antibiotics Growth Promotants (AGP)
Abstract: Antibiotic resistance in human infections has emerged as a serious public health concern. Some of the resistance problem may be traced back to the transmission of resistant bacteria from animals to humans, as well as the transmission of resistance genes from animal pathogens and commensal bacteria to human infections. Improvements in food cleanliness are among the control methods used to minimise the transmission of zoonotic germs to humans via the …

Recent Advancement of Nanotechnology in Plant Disease Management
Abstract: Nanoparticles are small size particles having potential to work in large surface area. Size of nanoparticles vary from 1-100 nm. The composition of nano-formulation should break down quickly in the soil and sluggishly in plants with remnant levels under the regulatory standards in foodstuffs. The nanoparticle synthesis methods can be categorized into bottom-up or top-down method Physical- Ball milling, nanolithography, pulsed laser, electrochemical; Chemical- Vaccum deposition and vaporization, chemical vapor …
