The novel coronavirus infectious disease-2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has traumatized the whole world with the ongoing devastating pandemic. A plethora of microbial domains including viruses (other than SARS-CoV-2), bacteria, archaea and fungi have evolved together, and interact in complex...

Considering the increase in antibiotic-resistant (AR) bacterial strains and the lack of new antibiotics, alternative/complementary strategies need to be founded to solve the infections due to AR pathogens. A possible solution may be to combine existing antibiotics with phytochemicals to enhance their efficacy. The purpose of this study was to asses...

Vancomycin Resistant Enterococci (VRE) are a major cause of nosocomial infections. The purpose of this study was the investigation of the genetic background of vancomycin resistance in VRE strains isolated from various clinical sources in a major hospital in Bucharest. Identification of Enterococcus faecium and E. faecalis at the species level was...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the potential antimicrobial activity of Olea europaea fatty oil against a collection of bacterial (Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and fungal (Candida albicans) clinical isolates. The antimicrobial and antibiofilm activity were evaluated by broth microdilution metho...

The genus Candida includes about 200 different species, but only a few species are human opportunistic pathogens and cause infections when the host becomes debilitated or immunocompromised. Here, we briefly review our current knowledge of pathogenic species of the NAC and yeast infection causes and then focus on current antifungal drugs and resista...

Nowadays, Candida albicans is considered an important cause of invasive infections, especially in immunocompromised patients. The antifungal resistance and virulence properties of Candida albicans strains are a growing health problem worldwide. Candida albicans possess many virulence factors to lead to occurring lethal infections in patients with i...
