Mechmechani, Samah; Zadeh, Kosar; Zadeh, Neda; Gharsallaoui, Adem; Eltai, Nahla O.; Osaili, Tareq M.; Karam, Layal... more authors ... less authors ( Springer Nature , 2025 , Article)Abstract: The rise of antibiotic-resistant Salmonella in poultry poses a significant public health challenge. This study assessed the efficacy of carvacrol and trans-cinnamaldehyde, in free and nanoencapsulated forms, as ... -
Green approaches for biofilm eradication: Enhancing cleaning efficiency
Mechmechani, Samah; Jha, Piyush Kumar; Karam, Layal; Dallagi, Heni ( Wiley , 2024 , Article)Cleaning up biocontamination from surfaces is a critical aspect of maintaining a hygienic environment. Traditional cleaning methods often fall short when it comes to eliminating persistent biofilms and resilient bacteria. ... -
Pepsin and Trypsin Treatment Combined with Carvacrol: An Efficient Strategy to Fight Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterococcus faecalis Biofilms
Mechmechani, Samah; Gharsallaoui, Adem; Karam, Layal; EL Omari, Khaled; Fadel, Alexandre; Hamze, Monzer; Chihib, Nour Eddine... more authors ... less authors ( Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI) , 2023 , Article)Biofilms consist of microbial communities enclosed in a self-produced extracellular matrix which is mainly responsible of biofilm virulence. Targeting this matrix could be an effective strategy to control biofilms. In this ... -
Study of the Resistance of Staphylococcus aureus Biofilm, Biofilm-Detached Cells, and Planktonic Cells to Microencapsulated Carvacrol Used Alone or Combined with Low-pH Treatment
