Antibacterial Activity of Kalanchoe mortagei and K. fedtschenkoi Against ESKAPE Pathogens

Kisameet Clay Exhibits Potent Antibacterial Activity against the ESKAPE Pathogens

UNLABELLED The ESKAPE (Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter species) pathogens cause an increasing number of nosocomial infections worldwide since they escape the inhibitory effect of the available antibiotics and the immune response. Here, we report the broad-spectrum and potent antibacterial activ...

Multicellular Root Hairs on Adventitious Roots of Kalanchoe Fedtschenkoi

Antibacterial activity of actinomycetes isolated from native sponge of Persian Gulf (Kharku Island) against pathogens

Resistant of pathogens to common antibiotics is a major global problem, and efforts discover new antibiotics from less known resources, is an inevitable. Native sponges of Persian Gulf have high potential in the field of medical biology, but have received little attention. In this study, actinomycetes that capable to produce anti-bacterial metabolites isolated and examined. Two sponges of Persi...

Antimicrobial peptides containing unnatural amino acid exhibit potent bactericidal activity against ESKAPE pathogens.

A series of 36 synthetic antimicrobial peptides containing unnatural amino acids were screened to determine their effectiveness to treat Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pnemoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter species (ESKAPE) pathogens, which are known to commonly infect chronic wounds. The primary amino acid sequences of these peptid...

Antibacterial activity of xanthorrhizol from Curcuma xanthorrhiza against oral pathogens.

The antibacterial activity of xanthorrhizol, isolated from the methanol extract of Curcuma xanthorrhiza roots, was evaluated against oral microorganisms in comparison with chlorhexidine.
