The Journal retracts the article “Moringa concanensis-Mediated Synthesis and Characterizations of Ciprofloxacin Encapsulated into Ag/TiO2/Fe2O3/CS Nanocomposite: A Therapeutic Solution against Multidrug Resistant E. coli Strains of Livestock Infectious Diseases.” [1], cited above.
Following publication, concerns were brought to the attention of the Editorial Office regarding the integrity of Figure 12 in this publication [1].
Adhering to our standard procedure, an investigation was conducted by the Editorial Office and Editorial Board that identified a duplication between sub-figures 12c and 12b presented in this article [1] and earlier publications [2,3] produced by a different research group and presenting different experimental conditions. While the authors collaborated within this process, raw material meeting the journal’s requirements for original images (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/molecules/instructions#oriimages) could not be provided for Editorial Board evaluation. Consequently, the Editorial Board has lost confidence in the reliability of the findings and has decided to retract this publication, as per MDPI’s retraction policy (https://www.mdpi.com/ethics#_bookmark30).
This retraction was approved by the Editor-in-Chief of the journal Pharmaceutics.
The authors did not agree to this retraction.
