therapeutic action: bactericidal effects

Antimicrobial Activity and Barrier Properties against UV Radiation of Alkaline and Enzymatically Treated Linen Woven Fabrics Coated with Inorganic Hybrid Material

Scientists treated linen fabric with an enzyme from a fungus called Cerrena unicolor combined with copper and silica particles to create advanced protective textiles. The resulting fabrics provide excellent protection against harmful UV radiation and kill dangerous bacteria and fungi like E. coli, Staph, and Candida. This eco-friendly approach could be used for protective clothing, outdoor gear, and medical textiles requiring both UV and microbial resistance.

Design, synthesis, and antimicrobial evaluation of novel 1,2,4-triazole thioether derivatives with a 1,3,4-thiadiazole skeleton

Scientists created 17 new chemical compounds that can fight harmful fungi and bacteria that damage plants. One of these compounds, called 9d, proved to be even more effective than existing commercial pesticides at fighting plant diseases. Tests on kiwifruit showed that this new compound could protect and treat bacterial infections better than currently available treatments. These new compounds could help protect crops and reduce reliance on older pesticides.
