Combined Activity of Selenite-Resistant Bacteria and Pisum Sativum Sprout Extract Against Malassezia Furfur: A Preliminary Qualitative Evaluation

This study found that a herbal formulation optimized with specific concentrations of plant extracts showed promising antifungal activity against Malassezia furfur.

This study found that four bacterial isolates from a microbiology laboratory collection demonstrated resistance to selenate, with molecular analysis showing they closely resemble different strains of Bacillus megaterium.

This study found that antifungal therapy significantly reduced pustules in patients with refractory acne, indicating a potential role for Malassezia infection in such cases.

This study found that theabrownin-selenium nanoparticles (TB-Se NPs) effectively target Malassezia-induced dermatitis through a dual antifungal and immunomodulatory mechanism, suppressing fungal overgrowth, reducing inflammation, and enhancing immune memory to prevent recurrence in a dermatitis model.

This study found that the Pseudomonas sp. T5-6-I strain significantly increased selenium accumulation and root hair density in Brassica oleracea, highlighting its potential for phytoremediation and biofortification.
