Evaluation of the antimicrobial activity of cationic peptides loaded in surface-modified nanoliposomes against foodborne bacteria
(MDPI AG, 2019-02-05)
Bacteria are a common group of foodborne pathogens presenting public health issues with a large economic burden for the food industry. Our work focused on a solution to this problem by evaluating antibiotic activity against ...
Decrease of antimicrobial resistance through polyelectrolyte-coated nanoliposomes loaded with β-lactam drug
(MDPI AG, 2019-03-01)
Currently, one of the greatest health challenges worldwide is the resistance to antibiotic drugs, which has led to the pursuit of new alternatives for the recovery of biological activity, where the use of different types ...

Haemoglobin degradation underpins the sensitivity of early ring stage Plasmodium falciparum to artemisinins
(Company of Biologists Ltd, 2016-01-01)
Current first-line artemisinin antimalarials are threatened by the emergence of resistant Plasmodium falciparum. Decreased sensitivity is evident in the initial (early ring) stage of intraerythrocytic development, meaning ...
The Akt-like kinase of Leishmania panamensis: As a new molecular target for drug discovery
(Elsevier B.V., 2018-01-01)
The Akt-like kinase of Leishmania spp. is a cytoplasmic orthologous protein of the serine/threonine kinase B-PKB/human-Akt group, which is involved in the cellular survival of these parasites. By the application of a ...
