In this study, researchers reported that wound dressings made from bacterial cellulose composites modified with soybean protein (BC/7S and BC/11S) improved wound healing and reduced scarring in rat models, with BC/11S showing superior outcomes.

This study identified 65 bacterial species from human hair with varying carbon metabolic capabilities and proposed a systematic way to evaluate their ease of isolation under different conditions.

This study found that endophytic bacteria isolated from Leea indica leaves showed high antioxidant activity, suggesting they could be a novel source of natural antioxidants.

This study found that alkaloids isolated from Eclipta alba leaves showed increasing antimicrobial activity with higher concentrations, particularly against S. aureus and E. coli, suggesting potential for developing antimicrobial agents.

In this study, researchers observed that fenugreek aqueous extract was more effective than its alcohol extract in inhibiting the growth of bacteria associated with acne, particularly gram-positive bacteria like Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus aureus.

This study assessed three lactic acid bacteria-fermented proteins and found that F-WPI and F-SPI could normalize osteoclastogenesis markers in vitro, while F-SPI enhanced osteoblastogenesis markers, suggesting potential as dietary supplements for osteoporosis prevention, though further research into mechanisms is needed.

This study developed electrospun nanofibers containing mupirocin for wound treatment, reporting enhanced antibacterial activity, high water absorption, and accelerated wound healing in a rat model, suggesting potential use for severe skin injuries at risk of infection.

In this study, clinically used preoperative skin preparations with povidone iodine and chlorhexidine gluconate did not meet FDA log-reduction standards for bacterial bioburden in a porcine model, suggesting persistent infection risks.

This study investigated bacterial isolates from Xylocarpus sp. mangrove fruit and found that these symbiotic bacteria exhibit antibacterial, antifungal, and hair follicle growth properties, suggesting potential applications in the cosmetic bioindustry, particularly for treating alopecia.

In this study, researchers isolated gram-positive bacteria from acne lesions in 50 patients, finding that Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus, Micrococcus luteus, and Leuconostoc mesenteroides were present at varying frequencies, indicating multimicrobial causes for acne vulgaris.

In this research, the authors found that green-synthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles (GS-ZnONPs) exhibited antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus species isolated from alopecia patients, but also showed cytotoxic effects on human dermal fibroblast cells at a 400 mg/mL concentration.

In this study investigating canine pyoderma, the researchers found that Staphylococcus species isolated from 57 dogs were most sensitive to the antibiotic Linezolid, with a 100% sensitivity rate, followed by other antibiotics like Doxycycline hydrochloride and Cefpodoxime.

This study found that in patients with Alopecia Areata, CD27 and IL-35 levels were significantly higher in those with bacterial infections, suggesting they may be useful as immunological biomarkers.

This study reports that patients with primary cicatricial alopecia have distinct bacterial colonization and higher antibiotic resistance compared to those with non-inflammatory scalp conditions, indicating the importance of bacterial culture and susceptibility testing for targeted therapies.

Certain fungi and bacteria help orchid seeds germinate and plants grow better.

This review discusses the rhizobia-legume interaction, focusing on infection thread formation and its relation to root hair and pollen tube growth, and reports no new experimental results; the authors call for more studies on early nodulins' role.

This study found that Limosilactobacillus reuteri NCHBL-005, derived from honeybees, may promote hair growth via a novel non-androgenic mechanism involving the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, as it increased hair follicle size and number in mice and influenced related gene expression in human follicle cells.

This study found that caraway essential oil inhibited Staphylococcus aureus strains isolated from patients with furunculosis, suggesting it may serve as an alternative antibacterial agent for supporting treatment.

This study isolated a thermophilic bacterial strain, Bacillus cereus, from soil that produces an extracellular protease; the enzyme effectively removed non-leather structures from animal pelts and was compatible with commercial detergents.

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 the S. epidermidis A/C lineage is more pathogenic due to its metabolic and genomic versatility, which allows it to adapt quickly from a commensal to a pathogenic lifestyle.

This study found a high prevalence of central hair loss among African American women and associated it with diabetes mellitus type 2, bacterial scalp infections, and hairstyles causing traction.

This study observed that Indian women with PCOS had distinct gut microbiome profiles, linking specific bacterial genera to metabolic and hormonal predictors of the condition.

In this case report, a 48-year-old woman with kerion celsi showed improvement with a regimen including antifungal, bacterial, and adjunctive treatments, though the specific role of mesenchymal stromal cell secretome could not be isolated from the other therapies.

This study found that an Enterobacter isolate demonstrated high resistance to selenate and effective sorption capacity, suggesting potential for bioremediation of selenium-contaminated environments.

In this study, researchers isolated and identified diverse endophytes from plants in Asia, finding that these microorganisms have significant potential for producing useful metabolites, including enzymes and antibiotics.

This study identified novel endophytic actinobacteria from the Citrullus colocynthis plant with antibacterial properties, suggesting potential for new antibiotic development against multi-drug-resistant bacteria.

This study found that a bacterial endophyte from Zea nicaraguensis effectively targets and colonizes plant root hair cells, promoting growth and solubilizing insoluble phosphorus for nutrient uptake.

A new hydrogel can kill resistant bacteria and help heal infected burn wounds.
