Effects of Shape and Size of Cobalt Phosphate Nanoparticles against Acanthamoeba castellanii
(MDPI, 2019)
T4 genotype Acanthamoeba are opportunistic pathogens that cause two types of infections, including vision-threatening Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) and a fatal brain infection known as granulomatous amoebic encephalitis ...
Metronidazole conjugated magnetic nanoparticles loaded with amphotericin B exhibited potent effects against pathogenic Acanthamoeba castellanii belonging to the T4 genotype
(Springer, 2020)
Acanthamoeba castellanii can cause granulomatous amoebic encephalitis and Acanthamoeba keratitis. Currently, no single drug has been developed to effectively treat infections caused by Acanthamoeba. Recent studies have ...
Novel Azoles as Antiparasitic Remedies against Brain-Eating Amoebae
(MDPI, 2020)
Balamuthia mandrillaris and Naegleria fowleri are opportunistic protozoan pathogens capable of producing infection of the central nervous system with more than 95% mortality rate. Previously, we have synthesized several ...
Isoniazid Conjugated Magnetic Nanoparticles Loaded with Amphotericin B as a Potent Antiamoebic Agent against Acanthamoeba castellanii
(MDPI, 2020)
The pathogenic free-living amoeba, Acanthamoeba castellanii, is responsible for a rare but deadly central nervous system infection, granulomatous amoebic encephalitis and a blinding eye disease called Acanthamoeba keratitis. ...
Antiamoebic activity of plant‑based natural products and their conjugated silver nanoparticles against Acanthamoeba castellanii (ATCC 50492)
(Springer, 2020)
Acanthamoeba spp. are the causative agent of Acanthamoeba keratitis and granulomatous amoebic encephalitis (GAE). The current options to treat Acanthamoeba infections have limited success. Silver nanoparticles show ...
Gold-Conjugated Curcumin as a Novel Therapeutic Agent against Brain-Eating Amoebae
(ACS Publications, 2020)
Balamuthia mandrillaris and Naegleria fowleri are free-living amoebae that cause infection of the central nervous system, granulomatous amoebic encephalitis (GAE) and primary amoebic meningoencephalitis (PAM), respectively. ...
Transcriptome analysis of Escherichia coli K1 after therapy with hesperidin conjugated with silver nanoparticles
(BioMed Central Ltd, 2021)
Backgrounds: Escherichia coli K1 causes neonatal meningitis. Transcriptome studies are indispensable to comprehend the pathology and biology of these bacteria. Recently, we showed that nanoparticles loaded with Hesperidin ...
