Enhancing coconut-based beverages with symbiotic microcapsules: evaluation of p...
Araújo, Alessandra Silva; Cavalcanti, Isabella Macário Ferro; Campos, Luís André de Almeida; Souza, Felipe Ravelly Alves deThis study highlights the effectiveness of ionic gelation combined with vibratory extrusion and chitosan hydrochloride coating as a robust strategy for the microencapsulation of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG intended for application in complex food matrices. The developed symbiotic microcapsules demonstrated desirable morphological and structural characteristics and provided significant protection to the enca...
Use of aminoglycosides as a therapeutic strategy to fight infections caused by ...
Silva, Júlio Eduardo Barbosa da; Souza, Jaqueline Barbosa de; Macêdo, Daniel Charles dos Santos; Barros, Maria Clara de Sousa ArrudaThe treatment of infections caused by enterobacteria that produce extended-spectrum β-lactamases enzymes (ESBLs) is increasingly challenging, so that the indiscriminate and exacerbated use of antibiotics has promoted bacterial resistance and dissemination of these pathogens, making the treatment of these bacteria a public health challenge. Taking into account that aminoglycosides are the antibiotics indicated f...

Phenotypic identification of bacteria of the family Enterobacteriaceae with res...
Barros, Joanna Francyne Silva de; Silva, Isabel Cristina da; Medeiros, Sandrelli Meridiana de Fátima Ramos dos SantosThe aim of this study was to identify bacteria belonging to the family Enterobacteriaceae with resistance profile on inanimate surfaces and utensils of sectors from a University Hospital of Pernambuco. Initially, the samples were collected on 25 inanimate surfaces and utensils of the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), Hemodialysis Center and Medical Clinic in 2018. The samples were plated on MacConkey and SS agar and i...
Advantages of using liposome-encapsulated antibiotics to fight infections cause...
Silva, Júlio Eduardo Barbosa da; Souza, Jaqueline Barbosa de; Macêdo, Daniel Charles dos Santos; Campos, Luís André de AlmeidaIntroduction: The treatment of diseases caused by enterobacteria is an increasing challenge. This problem results from the inefficiency of antibiotics to fight pathogens or to stimulate phagocytosis of cells of the reticuloendothelial system, mainly against bacteria that install and multiply inside phagocytic cells. Some antibiotics are ineffective at entering cells or have their capacity reduced by the plasma ...
Interaction between bark extract of Anadenanthera colubrina var. cebil (Griseb....
Nascimento , Pérola Paloma Silva do; Ferraz-Carvalho, Rafaela de Siqueira; Silva, Thaís Soares da; Araújo, Thiago Antônio de SousaAnadenanthera colubrina var. cebil (Griseb.) Altschul, a plant often found in areas of the Caatinga in northeastern Brazil, is widely used in unconventional medicine for the treatment of infections and inflammations. Thus, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the antibacterial activity of A. colubrina bark extracts against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) clinical isolates, to investig...
Antibacterial and antibiofilm lectins from plants – a review
Souza, Zion Nascimento de; Santos, João Victor de Oliveira; Duarte Neto, José Manoel Wanderley; Silva, Wagner Roberto Cirilo daThe number of multidrug-resistant bacteria that affect public health has been rising, and there are limited therapy resources to deal with these pathogens. The formation of biofilm by bacteria, makes therapy even harder. In this regard, natural products have been increasingly used as source for new antimicrobial agents and lectins have stood out as a promising option. Thus, this work aims to review on plant lec...

Araújo, Fiamma Acsa de Siqueira; Rocha, Rodhes Geovana de Almeida; Campos, Luis André de Almeida; Moura, Danielle Feijó de; Pereira, Marcela AraújoFor thousands of years, humanity, in order to ensure its survival, used plants in their daily lives to help cure and treat various pathologies. This integrative medical practice is known as herbal medicine and has grown over the years as a very promising complementary alternative. Several extracts have a broad spectrum of prophylactic action against various infections, such as Justicia pectoralis Jacq. (Acantha...
Interaction study between vancomycin and liposomes containing natural compounds...
Cavalcanti, Isabella Macário Ferro; Menezes, Talita Gomes Calaça; Campos, Luís André de Almeida; Ferraz, Milena Sales; Maciel, Maria Amélia VieiraThe treatment of infections caused by resistant microorganisms is limited, and vancomycin (VAN) treatment failures for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteremia are not uncommon, even when MRSA clinical isolates are susceptible to VAN. Thus, this study proposed the association of VAN with usnic acid and β-lapachone encapsulated into liposomes as a novel therapeutic option for infections caus...
