The conserving nonlinear, nonchiral {sigma}-{omega}-{rho} hadronic mean-field approximation is applied to saturation properties of nuclear and hyperonic matter, properties of hadron and hadron-quark neutron stars. Nonlinear interactions are renormalized self-consistently as effective coupling constants, effective masses, and sources of equations of motion by maintaining thermodynamic consistency to the mean-field approximation. The effective masses and coupling constants become density-dependent, and they simultaneously determine binding energies and saturation properties of nuclear matter and hyperonic matter. The conserving nonlinear {sigma}-{omega}-{rho} mean-field approximation with vacuum fluctuation corrections and strange quark matter defined by the MIT-bag model were employed to examine properties of hadron-(strange) quark stars. We found that hadron-quark stars become more stable at high densities compared to pure hadronic and strange quark stars.
