This review aims to provide an overview of the sources and reactions of persistent organic
pollutants (POPs) and surfactants in soil and sediments, the surfactant-enhanced …

The spread of new strains of antibiotic-resistant pathogenic microorganisms has led to the
urgent need to discover and develop new antimicrobial systems. The antibacterial effects of …

The outer lipopolysaccharide (LPS) membrane of Gram-negative bacteria forms the main
barrier for transport of antimicrobial molecules into the bacterial cell. In this study we develop …

Self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (ie SEDDS, SMEDDS and SNEDDS) are widely
employed as solubility and bioavailability enhancing formulation strategies for poorly water …

Ubiquitous antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) is a significant global human health concern.
Surfactants have been extensively used worldwide, and the consumption of surfactants …

The idea of using biosurfactants to obtain highly porous, foamed calcium phosphate
cements (fCPCs) is novel. The popularity of these compounds is mainly attributed to their …

With rising bacterial resistance, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have been widely
investigated as potential antibacterial molecules to replace conventional antibiotics. Our …

Bacteria have evolved over 3 billion years, shaping our intrinsic and symbiotic coexistence
with these single-celled organisms. With rising populations of drug-resistant strains, the …

Sophorolipids, glycolipid biosurfactants derived from microorganisms such as Starmerella
bombicola, possess distinctive surface-active and bioactive properties, holding potential …

Throughout human history, inexhaustible emerging or re-emerging pathogenic bacteria
have never ceased to pose significant challenges to global public health. As the other side …
