A population model for the 2017/18 listeriosis outbreak in South Africa
(PLoS One, 2020-03-12)
We introduce a compartmental model of ordinary differential equations for the population dynamics of listeriosis, and we derive a model for analysing a listeriosis outbreak. The model explicitly accommodates neonatal ...
Biosynthesis, Characterization, and Biological Activities of Procyanidin Capped Silver Nanoparticles
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2020-09-19)
In this study, procyanidin dimers and Leucosidea sericea total extract (LSTE) were employed in the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and characterized by ultraviolet-visible (UV-Visible) spectroscopy, high-resolution ...
Real-time assessment of Candida biofilm formation
(Elsevier, 2021-09)
Background: Candida infections are responsible for increased morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients, particularly when the Candida biofilm is composed of drug-resistant species. Although the biofilm formation ...
HPLC-MS identification and expression of Candida drug-resistance proteins from African HIV-infected patients
(AIMS Press, 2021-09-10)
The objective of this study was to elucidate the proteomic mechanisms of drug resistance in HIV-infected African patients. Cell membrane fractions from forty oral Candida isolates isolated from African HIV-positive patients ...
Real-time assessment of Candida biofilm disruption by Galenia africana
(2022-05-25)
Candida species often cause opportunistic infections in immunocompromised patients and are able to form highly structured biofilms that protect the yeast cells from the external environment and the action of antimicrobials. ...
