Figure Lengend Snippet: The structure-function relationship of the dermaseptin S4 and B2 and their analogs interacting with S. epidermidis and K. pneumoniae membranes.

Article Snippet: Dermaseptin-PP from Phyllomedusa palliata , a rarely studied frog species, was found by Dong et al. [ ] to have broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against K. pneumoniae (ATCC 43816) at values of MIC = 1 μM and MBC = 2 μM, as well as a relatively low hemolytic impact (estimated HC50 = 38.77 μM).

Article Title: A novel green synthesized ZnO-based antimicrobial nanocomposite: synergistic action, in vitro cytotoxicity, and molecular docking studies of ceftazidime, metformin, and chitosan against multidrug-resistant Salmonella enterica

doi: 10.1186/s12934-026-02934-x

Figure Lengend Snippet: 2D and 3D diagrams show the interaction between ZnO NPs, CS, and CAZ and the active sites of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium 4W4M

Article Snippet: The nanocomposite exhibited strong antibacterial activity against MDR Salmonella enterica subsp., enterica serovar Typhi ATCC 19214, showing a significantly increased inhibition zone of 42 mm and a greatly reduced minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of 8 μg/ml, compared to the separate components.
