Correction: In vitro efficacy of potentiated egg yolk powder against Campylobacter jejuni does not correlate with in vitro efficacy

Evaluation of passive immunotherapeutic efficacy of hyperimmunized egg yolk powder against intestinal colonization of Campylobacter jejuni in chickens.

Campylobacter jejuni is a leading cause of foodborne bacterial gastroenteritis in human. Chickens are the reservoir host of C. jejuni, and contaminated chicken meat is an important source of human infection. Therefore, control of C. jejuni in chickens can have direct effect on human health. In this study we tested the passive immunotherapeutic efficacy of the chicken egg-yolk-derived antibodies...

In Vitro Efficacy of Sodium Bicarbonate Powder and Pumice Flour for Removal of Iron Induced Pigmentations

Background and Aim: Management of iron-induced tooth pigmentation is challenging. This study aimed to compare the efficacy of sodium bicarbonate powder and pumice flour for removal of iron-induced pigmentation from primary ante-rior teeth. Materials and Methods: In this in vitro, experimental study, 60 sound primary anterior teeth were collected. After cutting the roots and sealing the pulp ch...

Effects of short-chain nitrocompounds against Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli in vitro.

Effects of 2-nitro-1-propanol, 2-nitroethanol, nitroethane, and 2-nitro-methyl-propionate (0, 10, and 20 mM) on growth of Campylobacter jejuni were tested during culture in Bolton broth adjusted to pH 5.6, 7.0, or 8.2. The nitrocompounds were similarly tested against C. coli but at pH 8.2 only. Viable cell counts measured during incubation revealed main effects (P < 0.05) of all nitrocompounds ...

In Vitro Comparison of the Efficacy of Cumin Extract and Fluconazole Against Candida Strains

Background and Aim: Fungal infections are the most common opportunistic infections; when accompanied by widespread infections, such as acquired immune de-ficiency syndrome (AIDS), they cause a worldwide health crisis. Therefore, treatment of these infections is seen as one of the health challenges. Medicinal herbs can be used as rich sources of treatment due to their fewer side effects. Current...
