This narrative study seeks to investigate the interaction between Clostridium perfringens and ECM proteins present in bones and cartilage, which are important factors in the body’s movement in individual division, causing the decomposition of dead tissues in the body into necessary materials for their nutrition, which reliably prevents innate and acquired immune responses, thus providing amino acids and other nutrients necessary for the bacteria to flourish and multiply. Recently, live and laboratory experiments have found that bacteria produce collagenase and stimulate the decomposition of collagen present in bone and cartilage tissues which may cause them to lose their natural structure and physiological functions. Finally, it has been shown that the importance of the research has reached the effect of the pathogen on the degradation of collagen in bones and cartilage.

The process of converting nitrogen into ammonia in the form of a compound is referred to as biological nitrogen fixation. This process is accomplished by various types of nitrogen-fixing bacteria. In this process, atmospheric dinitrogen is enzymatically converted into ammonia by nitrogen-fixing microorganisms. These nitrogen-fixing bacteria are broadly classified into two groups: symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria and non symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Within the microbial cells, ammonia is used for the maintenance and development of the bacterial cells. These microorganisms produce several enzymes, proteins, and cofactors that are essential for the functioning of the key enzyme nitrogenase. This enzyme is capable of reducing inert nitrogen molecules to ammonia. The entire process involves the electron transport chain within the bacterial cell. Two of the many diverse genera of rhizobia, Rhizobium and Bradyrhizobium, are α proteobacterial diazottrophic families that form root nodules through the interaction of symbiotic genes. The nitrogen-fixing symbionts of actinophytes are symbiotic rhizobia of the genera Mesorhizobium, Sinorhizobium and Bradyrhizobium, such as Azorhizobium. The genera Frankia and Discorrhizobium provide drought-resistant forage roots in non-legume actinophytes such as alder and myrica woodlands. Frankia actinophytes have the ability to live as sugar and cellulose decomposers in addition to being symbiotic with actinophytes. Integrating nitrogen-fixing bacteria into integrated disease management can lead to significant plant growth. Research involving the application of biofertilizers in a variety of crops is at an interactive level. Nitrogen-fixing bacteria can fix nitrogen from the air into the root zone under both free and bonded nitrogen fixation. In some cases, co-inoculation of mycorrhizal spores together with nitrogen-fixing microorganisms and Azospirillum strains has shown improvement in plant health. Nitrogen fixing bacteria can improve the structure and fertility of soils that have been degraded for various reasons. Therefore, nitrogen-fixing bacteria have the potential to be used in environmental remediation processes to treat wastewater, human and animal waste, or overcome other disinfection caused by industrial pollutants. In environmental nitrogen cycles, the application of nitrogen-fixing bacteria can provide opportunities for the accumulation and preservation of organic matter through different particle sizes. However, it is necessary to identify nitrogen-fixing bacteria endemic to different ecosystems and study the potential biochemical cycles of nitrogen in different sized mineral components. In addition, the efficiency rates of chemical remediation should be compared due to potential problems with the development of concentrations of these microorganisms in environmental restoration or bioremediation processes over large areas. There is hope for the positive development of strategies to eliminate harmful metals in soil and restore potential management profits under the green economy policy, with the preferential use of extreme organisms living within soil elements, which will contribute to different strategies for the use of nitrogen fertilizers in agriculture.

Many environment have limited bioavailable iron, which leads to a variety of response strategies aimed at maintaining iron homeostasis Microorganisms, in particular, have specialized iron uptake system and frequently coordinate the synthesis and up take of iron with other cellular function like motility and biofilm formation. Microorganism produce and release low – molecular – weight compounds called siderophores in to the extracellular medium. these chelators have a high affinity and selectivity for Fe(III), making them a crucial component of an iron acquisition strategy. Sidrophores are often characterized as low – molecular – mass substances that chelate iron. Siderophores are more attracted to ferric iron than the majority of proteins. Through their role as iron-complexing ligands, they scavenge available iron and create a very stable ferric ion complex. This complex is know as Fe-siderophores complex or siderophores –iron ion complex.even if the precursor iron is present below the solubility limit, these siderophores –iron complex can stay in solution because they more soluble. Bacteria siderophres will be classified according to their chemical structure, including hydroxycarboxylates, hydroxamic acids, mixed ligands/hydroxamic acids, catecholates/metabolites, and keto acids/chelated metabolites, as well as their source, including surface-associated chelators on the bacterial envelope and released chelators. Example of siderophores Enterobactin it synthesized by Enterobacteriaceae and Pyoverdine produced by Pseudomonas species. bacteria siderophores have many application in several field, they have important role in bioremediation by removing heavy metal from environment and detection dissolving deleterious drugs and contaminants and in medical care, it help to killing or inhibiting pathogenic bacteria through strategies that limit iron acquisition within the host also as in agriculture it support plant growth via availability of iron that help of development and nutrition it.
The Inhibitory Effect of Nanoparticles on Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria: A Review

Volume Volume: 03
The misuse of antibiotics is a major problem that has caused genetic changes in bacteria, and increased their resistance to antibiotics, so interest has increased in using alternatives to antibiotics such as nanoparticles. The main mechanisms of resistance to various antibiotics by bacteria include horizontal gene transfer, transformation and conjugation, in addition to the mechanism of antibiotic-resistant efflux pumps that increase the ability of bacteria to adapt and survive after stress. Bacteria also resist antibiotics through the formation of biofilms and various chemical and biological pathways. Nanoparticles have been used as antimicrobials such as gold, silver and titanium dioxide nanoparticles. Nanoparticles have the ability to enhance antibiotics to reduce the minimum inhibitory concentration required to inhibit bacterial growth, making antibiotics more effective, or they act as strong antimicrobials in themselves. Our research focused on analyzing the antimicrobial mechanisms of nanoparticles on general bacteria and antibiotic-resistant bacteria and comparing the value of nanoparticles prepared by different functional techniques. Considering the potential use of antibacterial agents in medicine, the toxic effect of antibacterial agents on eukaryotic mammalian cells is of great importance, and this review summarizes the available experiments based on the cytotoxicity data of various antibacterial nanoparticles. In conclusion, since each type of nano antibacterial agents has a diverse and reliable system for its antibacterial ability, and their shape, size, or surface functional groups can be designed and modified at the molecular level, they have currently been tested for broad-spectrum antibacterial agents and against various types of bacterial applications. This flexibility means that based on the scope of the manufacturing method and its anti-infective performance, we can develop a good nano antibacterial agent that is more in line with the requirements of the pharmaceutical market development; the final application to the patient in the clinic.

publisher Iarcon
The modern food business makes use of a wide variety of surfaces, including wood, plastic, stainless steel, and glass. Microorganisms that cause food cross-contamination via contact with work surfaces may infect these surfaces. Controlling microbiological risks and preventing food safety concerns is currently mostly accomplished via the use of HACCP-based procedures. As a consequence of this preventative strategy, microbiological tests of surfaces have become one instrument for controlling product hygiene. For the sake of public health, a technique for removing microbes from various solid surfaces is required. There is currently no legislation pertaining to surface microbial contamination; nonetheless, in order to increase product value and decrease contamination risks, food corporations often create technical criteria. This review aims to identify the most important food contaminated microbes and provide the most commonly used methods for the prevention of contaminated food microbes. The choice of microbial prevention method should be appropriate for the type and size of the surface tested for microbiological analysis. Today, highways and cheap roads should be especially uniform and easy to perform in this area.
