  • Dynamics of bacterial contamination and antibiotic resistance in commercially or organically farmed chicken eggs 
    Daou, Yasmeen Salah (Notre Dame University-Louaize, 2021)
    Eggs are one of nature’s most nutritious and economical foods. Besides their nutritional value, antioxidant, anti‐cancerous, antihypertensive activity, and immunomodulatory effects, chemical and microbial contamination of eggs pose a risk on human health. Chemical contamination is due to the abuse of antibiotics in poultry. Microbial contamination can be through horizontal or vertical transmission. Microbial contamination accompanies a high risk of spread of antibiotic resistance. Microbial contamination can be controlled by choosing the egg source wisely and by storing eggs carefully. A lot of ...
  • A meta- analysis of antibiotic resistance prevalence among hospital and community- acquired infections 
    Mahmoud, Hala Bassam (Notre Dame University-Louaize, 2021)
    Antibiotic resistance and prevalence of hospital (HAI) and community-acquired (CAI) infections are significantly increasing in the world, though very few studies are addressing this topic in Lebanon. Therefore, this meta-analysis aims to identify antibiotic (AB) resistance prevalence among hospital and community acquired infections. Literature databases were searched for antibiotic resistance, HAI, and CAI in Lebanon from 2010 to 2020. To be eligible for inclusion, studies had to report data in Lebanon published between 2010 and 2020, antibiotic resistance in microorganisms responsible for either ...
  • Potent antifungal activity of saponins from medicinal plants against candida albicans 
    Nader, Ingrid (Notre Dame University-Louaize, 2021)
    Candida albicans, is usually a harmless fungus in healthy individuals, but life-threatening when found in large quantities or in inappropriate parts of the body. It developed resistance against the antifungal drugs fluconazole and amphotericin B, used in an abusive way, by adopting different mechanisms. Medicinal plants, which offer a wide variety of secondary metabolites, especially saponins, have been reported for their large biological activities. These phytochemicals are composed of a hydrophobic part (aglycone) and a hydrophilic one (glycone), which, based on their aglycone part, are ...
