Abstract: Unregulated consumption and overexploitation of antibiotics have paved the way for emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains and 'superbugs'. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is among the opportunistic nosocomial pathogens causing devastating infections in clinical set-ups globally. Its artillery equipped… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ijms22094771
Abstract: Nitric oxide (NO) is a neurotransmitter that mediates the activation and inhibition of inflammatory cascades. Even though physiological NO is required for defense against various pathogens, excessive NO can trigger inflammatory signaling and cell death… read more here.
