The novel and exciting class of porphyrin‐based compounds are the main group coordination‐driven porphyrins (MGCPs) with a central main group element into the porphyrin macrocycle. MGCPs have unique properties, reactivity, and potential applications in catalysis, sensing, biomedicine etc. This comprehensive review article discusses recent advances in the field of main group coordination driven porphyrins and explores some of its potential uses in solar cells, catalysis, antimicrobial, optoelectronic devices, sensing, and catalysis. The addition of main group elements to porphyrin systems has resulted in the production of entirely novel compounds that have intriguing qualities including increased stability and catalytic activity. Significant modifications in these unique compounds features are apparent through the analysis of their structural properties. It encompasses FTIR, proton NMR, electrical and optical characterisation in addition to an electrochemical analysis of those parameters. They serve as significant building blocks for the creation of cutting‐edge materials and technologies in a variety of scientific and technical disciplines because to their special qualities and adaptability. Researchers working in the domains of coordination chemistry, catalysis, and materials science will find this study to be of interest since it offers a thorough examination of current developments in main group coordination driven porphyrins and their prospective applications. Overall, main group porphyrins are used in many different fields, such as sensing, catalysis, and optoelectronic devices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Extensive and unregulated use of antibiotics favours the acquisition of resistance to antimicrobial agents. Hospitalized patients are at usually high risk of infections, and therefore the hospital surroundings favours the acquisition of resistance to antimicrobial agents, complicating the treatment of health facility infections as a result of drug resistant pathogens. The pattern of hospital infection has modified over the years, reflective advances in drugs and development of antimicrobial agents. Hospital effluent could contain multi drug resistant (MDR) coliforms and enteric pathogens which could pose a great problem for communities. There also exists a relationship between the metal tolerance and the anti-microbial resistance in microorganisms. Bacteria have continued to adapt to ecology of humans and their antimicrobial agents by diversifying the systems that they have evolved to counter those agents. As a result, unexpected and new problem of resistance have appeared and some resistance has become widely spread. So our aim is to determine the prevalence of antibiotic and heavy metals resistance in coliforms isolated from hospital wastewater. The present study was conducted at Department of (Ag.) Microbiology, Faculty of Agricultural Sciences; Aligarh Muslim University Aligarh.
