The extensive use of antibiotics to treat bacterial infections has led the widespread emergence multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens, becoming increasingly difficult with currently available antibacterial agents. present study is based on prospecting ethnomedicinal potential Indian plant varieties for treatment MDR bacteria. Plants produce an array diverse pharmacological compounds in defence ag...

Introduction: Acinetobacter baumannii has been considered a prevalent pathogen in hospitals, raising concern in the medical community due to its broad spectrum of antimicrobial resistance. Since it is a subject that arouses much interest, it has been increasingly studied. Due to the emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacteria, the use of polymyxins was reestablished. The polym...

OBJECTIVES To screen methanolic leaf extracts of 21 timber-yielding plants for antibacterial activity against nine species of uropathogenic bacteria isolated from clinical samples of a hospital (Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, Acinetobacter baumannii, Citrobacter freundii, Enterobacter aerogenes, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus mirabilis, and Pseudomonas aeruginos...

Background: German chamomile (Matricaria recotita) as a medicinal plant has several therapeutic effects. Since the extract of this plant contains a high amount of α-bisabolol (Terpenoid) its antibacterial properties can be considered. Staphylococcus aureus as a pathogenic bacterium is important in clinical situations and food hygiene. So, investigation of effects of antibacterial compounds agai...

Abstract Background Fosfomycin (F) inhibits the first committed step of peptidoglycan biosynthesis catalyzed by MurA enzyme which uses phosphoenolpyruvate as a substrate. Trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole (TS) inhibit successive steps in folate are commonly used fixed combination (co-trimoxazole). In this study we explored (FTS) F with TS several gram-negative gram-positive bacteria increasing ...

background & aim:vaginal disease has always been a great concern of women. medicinal plants as natural resources with fewer side effects can effectively treat these infections given the diversity of these infections, resistance to antibiotics and side effects of existing drugs. the present study aimed to compare antimicrobial effects of methanol extract of francoeuria undulata on growth of seve...

Antimicrobial activity of honey has lately drawn researchers’ attention, especially due to the fact that its antimicrobial capacity been proven. The aim this study was analyzing bactericidal and bacteriostatic action in pathogenic microorganisms Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli Candida albicans samples from five regions state Paraná. yeast showed be more resistant than bacteria aureus. m...

Objective: Burn wound infection is a severe complication of thermal injury. Patients with severe burn injuries need urgent care to diminish complications after severe burns. Wound infections are commonly considered one of the most serious burn complications, particularly those that are caused by extensively drug-resistant (XDR) bacteria with few therapeutic choices. The objective of this study ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The selection of alternative treatment options with antibiotic combinations may be used for successful managing of multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii. The aim of this study was to determine the synergistic effects of ampicillin-sulbactam combined with either levofloxacin or tigecycline against MDR A. baumannii. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total 124 of A.baumanni...
