Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, 2026
Multidrug-resistant Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (EAEC) is gaining recognition as an important diarrheagenic pathogen with enhanced virulence characteristics. In this study, six typical EAEC isolates from clinical and animal sources were characterized phenotypically and genotypically. All isolates demonstrated the characteristic stacked-brick adherence pattern on HEp-2 cells and were positive for key EAEC-associated genes (aggR, cvd432, fimA, ecp, and irp2). Antimicrobial susceptibility testing identified three isolates as multidrug-resistant (MDR), with resistance observed against antibiotics such as, tetracycline, ampicillin, and ciprofloxacin. ESBL production was confirmed in MDR strains via double-disc synergy, nitrocefin, and PCR assays targeting blaTEM and blaCTXM9 genes. Under simulated gut stress conditions (bile salts, acidic pH, and oxidative stress), MDR strains exhibited enhanced survival and faster growth kinetics compared to non-MDR strains. Biofilm assays revealed stronger biofilm formation by MDR strains on diverse surfaces, with confocal microscopy confirming greater bio-volume and viability of MDR biofilms. In vivo survival assays using Galleria mellonella larvae showed significantly higher virulence of MDR strains, with increased mortality rates over 96 hours. The findings highlight the enhanced stress tolerance, biofilm-forming capacity, and pathogenicity of MDR-EAEC strains, underscoring their potential role in persistent infections and public health concerns.

Background Drug-resistant pathogens and industrial dye wastes have emerged as critical global public health concerns, posing significant risks to human and animal health, as well as to environmental sustainability. Green synthesized nano absorbents were found to be a viable strategy for treating drug-resistant pathogens and in wastewater. Hence, this study endeavored the synthesis of piperine-driven nano-zinc oxide (ZnONPs) and evaluated them for antibacterial, antibiofilm, and photocatalytic disinfection potential against multi-drug resistant (MDR) foodborne strains of non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS). Besides, the dye degradation potential of ZnONPs when exposed to UV, sunlight, and LED lights and their antioxidant capacity were assessed. Results Initially, in silico analysis of piperine revealed drug-likeliness with minimal toxicity and strong interaction between piperine and OmpC motifs of Salmonella spp. UV spectroscopy of ZnONPs revealed a prominent absorption peak at 340 nm, while PXRD analysis confirmed the hexagonal wurtzite structure of ZnONPs by exhibiting peaks at 30°, 35.6°, 41.3°, 43.6°, 44.3°, 48°, 53°, 58°, and 59.2°, which corresponded to the lattice planes (102), (110), (103), (200), (112), (004), (104), (210), and (211). Additionally, the TEM images demonstrated predominantly spherical ZnONPs with hexagonal wurtzite crystalline SAED pattern. The minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum bactericidal concentration values (µg/mL) of the ZnONPs were found to be 62.50 and 125, respectively. The ZnONPs were observed to be safe with minimal hemolysis (less than 2%) in chicken RBCs, and no cytopathic effects were observed in the MTT assay using HEK cell lines. The NPs were found to be variably stable (high-end temperatures, proteases, cationic salts, and diverse pH), and were tested safe towards commensal gut lactobacilli. Additionally, in vitro time-kill kinetic assay indicated that the MDR-NTS strains were eliminated after co-incubating with ZnONPs for 6 h. The photocatalytic studies exhibited complete bacterial elimination under visible light at 4 h. Interestingly, the ZnONPs significantly inhibited the biofilm formation in the crystal violet staining assay by MDR-NTS strains (P < 0.001) at 24 and 48 h. Besides, a dose-dependent reducing power assay and 2,2′- azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS•+) assay were exhibited. Moreover, ZnONPs significantly degraded methylene blue, crystal violet, and rhodamine-B under different light sources (sunlight, UV light, and LED). Conclusions This study revealed a sustainable one-pot method of synthesizing ZnONPs from piperine, which might be used as a viable antibacterial candidate with antioxidant, antibiofilm, and photocatalytic properties with eco-friendly implications and wastewater treatment.

Results in Surfaces and Interfaces, 2025
This study sought to evaluate the antibacterial potential of carvacrol and eugenol entrapped in green synthesized silver/ zinc oxide (Ag/ZnO) nanocomposites (NCs) against multi-drug-resistant (MDR) isolates of enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC), Salmonella enterica Typhimurium and S . Enteritidis as well as to assess their antioxidant and cytotoxic capacity. Initially, UV-Visible (UV-Vis) spectra verified the entrapment of Ag/ZnO NCs with different concentrations of eugenol (Ag/ZnO-E) and carvacrol (Ag/ZnO-R), while Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectra confirmed the functional groups on Ag/ZnO-E and Ag/ZnO-R. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) peak intensities were either attenuated (38.2°) or nearly disappeared (44.3°) after entrapment. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) suggested an agglomerated irregularly polycrystalline structure of Ag/ZnO-E and Ag/ZnO-R. Minimum inhibitory and bactericidal concentrations of 7.81 and 62.50 μg/mL, respectively, were observed irrespective of tested bacterial strains, at all levels of eugenol and carvacrol incorporation. Besides, the concentration-dependent viability observed in Vero cell lines for Ag/ZnO-E and Ag/ZnO-R was determined to be 52.35 ± 0.49% and 46.32 ± 2.28%, even at the highest concentration tested (10 -1 mg/mL). Both Ag/ZnO-E and Ag/ZnO-R exhibited significant dose-dependent free radical scavenging activity, though lower than ascorbic acid. Overall, this study indicated that Ag/ZnO-E and Ag/ZnO-R were effective antioxidant and antibacterial agents against MDR foodborne pathogens, suggesting their potential use in functionalized packaging to enhance the shelf life of food.
