Targeted drug therapy, immunotherapy, personalized medicines now largely being employed, which were not common a years back. The field cancer discoveries therapeutics evolving fast as type-specific biomarkers progressively identified several types cancers nowadays undergoing systematic therapies, extending patients' disease-free survival thereafter.

Biofilm formation is considered one of the primary virulence mechanisms in Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogenic species, particularly those responsible for chronic infections promoting bacterial survival within host. In recent years, there has been a growing interest discovering new compounds capable inhibiting biofilm formation. This promising antivirulence strategy that could potentially overcome antibiotic resistance issues. Effective antibiofilm agents should possess distinctive properties. They be structurally unique, enable easy entry into cells, influence quorum sensing signaling, synergize with other antibacterial agents. Many these properties are found both natural systems isolated from plants synthetic like nanoparticles nanocomposites. this review, we discuss clinical nature biofilm-associated some associated their tolerance. We focus on advantages efficacy various as therapeutic approach to control biofilms address multidrug bacteria.

The escalating presence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) in food systems presents a pressing challenge, particularly preventing contamination and ensuring safety. Traditional sanitation methods, such as cooking chemical disinfectants, provide effective means to reduce ARB, yet there is growing need for additional preventive measures directly on surfaces. This review explores the potential chitosan–phytochemical composites (CPCs) surface coatings prevent initial by thereby offering novel complementary approach conventional safety practices. Chitosan, combined with active plant-derived metabolites (phytochemicals), forms notable antibacterial antioxidant properties that enhance its protective effects. We examine CPC synthesis methodologies, including modifications, free radical-induced grafting, enzyme-mediated techniques, which stability activity CPCs against ARB. Highlighting recent findings CPCs’ efficacy through minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) zones inhibition, this underscores ARB risks surfaces, seafood, meat, postharvest products. insights provided here aim encourage future strategies leveraging preventative treatment mitigate production processing environments.
