This study aimed to evaluate schistosomiasis positive school children as indicators of infection in their families. Four hundred and sixteen stool samples of children from two primary schools were examined microscopically for Schistosoma... more
Seven algal species were collected from 7 different hotspots along Alexandrian Mediterranean shore; toluene and ethanol extract of U. fasciata and Enteromopha intestinalis showed the maximum antibacterial although Klebsiella pneumoniae... more
In a trial to search for a new antibiotic producer a terrestrial actinomycete was isolated from AL-alameen soil which proved to be a potential candidate for the production of active metabolites against E. coli 25922 and Staphylococcus... more
Herein, in the present work two series of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) nanofibers were manufactured using the electrospinning techniques with ZnO and CuO nanoparticles for a potential use as an elastic functional layer in... more
Titanium oxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) have been attracting numerous research studies due to their activity; however, there is a growing concern about the corresponding toxicity. Here in the present study, titanium oxide nanoparticles... more

Klebsiella pneumoniae has been identified as an opportunistic pathogen associated with both communityacquired and nosocomial infections mainly among patients admitted to the Intensive care units (ICUs). Some resistant genes were... more
Diabetic foot infection is a major concern between diabetic communities as it is increasing rapidly with more virulent organisms. These virulent organisms include the flesh and bone eating bacteria which produce proteolytic enzymes in... more
Healthcare textiles are gaining great attention in the textile industry. Electrospun nanofibers are considered the golden soldiers due to their strength, flexibility, and eco-friendly properties. The present study aimed to evaluate the... more
Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) is a highly prevalent parasite that has no gold standard treatment due to the poor action or the numerous side effects. Focused sulfonamide-1,2,3-triazole hybrids 3a–c were wisely designed and synthesized via... more

Ultra-small gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs) “≤ 10 nm diameters” have potent biomedical applications. Hence, the present study aimed to greenly synthesize ultra-small gold nanoparticles using Egyptian propolis extract. Different biological... more
Tuberculosis (TB) caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis is still a serious public health concern around the world. More treatment strategies or more specific molecular targets have been sought by researchers. One of the most important... more
Bacterial pneumonia is considered one of the most virulent diseases with high morbidity and mortality rates, especially in hospitalized patients. Moreover, bacterial resistance increased over the last decades which limited the therapy... more
Toxoplasmosis may become a fatal disease in immunodeficient, diabetic patients, pregnant women, and infants. Hence, the diligent search for new effective treatment is among the major concerns worldwide. The well-dispersed multi-walled... more
Bacterial pigments (e.g., melanin and carotenoids) are considered to be among the most important secondary metabolites due to their various pharmacological activities against cancer and microbial resistance. Different pigmented bacterial... more
Myositis tropicans or pyomyositis is a muscle inflammation resulting from a bacterial infection of skeletal muscle (commonly caused by Staphylococcus aureus) that usually leads to hematogenous muscle seeding. The present study was... more
The pharmaceutical research sector’s inability to produce new drugs has made it difficult to keep up with the rate at which microbial resistance is developing. Recently, nanotechnology and its combinations with natural products have been... more
