Abstract

The utility and efficacy of novel materials in tissue regeneration and antimicrobial therapy are contingent upon the employment of either blood derivatives rich in platelets or platelet-poor-plasma (PPP). This effect is largely mediated by the increased or decreased concentration of platelets in the plasma. The current study aimed to analyze and evaluate the impact of platelet-rich (PRP) or PPP on inhibiting the growth of human pathogenic bacteria and compare their effects with those of chloramphenicol and penicillin. In the current comparative study, PRP-1 was generated using 1-step blood centrifugation method; whereas, for PRP-2 and PPP the 2-step centrifugation protocol was used. The antimicrobial activity of PRP-1, 2, and PPP were tested on Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Streptococcus agalactiae, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Shigella sp. and Serratia sp. Well diffusion and serial micro-dilution methods were used for this purpose. Chloramphenicol and penicillin susceptibility were tested using the disk diffusion method. While whole blood (WB) and PPP had no discernible impact on the growth parameters of any of the bacteria tested in the current study, PRP-1 reduced the g...Continue Reading

Adult Stem Cells

Adult stem cells reside in unique niches that provide vital cues for their survival, self-renewal, and differentiation. They hold great promise for use in tissue repair and regeneration as a novel therapeutic strategies. Here is the latest research.
