Vibrio cholerae is a human pathogen that causes mild to severe diarrheal illnesses and has major public health significance. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of antimicrobial activity of the gold nanoparticles on Vibrio cholera. Gold and Silver nanoparticles are chemically synthesized. Standard strain of Vibrio cholerawas cultured in a nutrient broth. Minimum inhibitory conc...

Measuring Vancomycin Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) with MIC of 2ug/ml, the Clinical Implications and economic impact of using alternative antimicrobial agents to vancomycin for MRSA with possible MIC of 2ug/ml Amir Kamran, MD; Karen White, MT(ASCP); Bill Lindgren, MT(ASCP); Katie Sims, PharmD BCPS; Ali Hassoun, MD FACP; Interna...

Background & Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the antimicrobial activity of two rangeland-medical plants extracts, Prosopis farcta L. and Datura stramonium L., against Staphylococcus aureus isolated from sheep in Zabol city. Experimental: The P. farcta and D. stramonium were collected from...

The aim of this chapter is to evaluate the contribution of antimicrobial therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) to adjust dosing regimens in achieving control of infections using pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) to define the antimicrobial exposures that are necessary to maximise bactericidal activity and to inhibit bacterial growth. Robustness data exist for some antimicrobial agents...

The X-ray crystallographic structure of a truncated teixobactin analogue reveals hydrogen-bonding and hydrophobic interactions and a cavity that binds a chloride anion. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) assays against Gram-positive bacteria correlate the observed structure with antibiotic activity.

Background & Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the antimicrobial activity of two rangeland-medical plants extracts, Prosopis farcta L. and Datura stramonium L., against Staphylococcus aureus isolated from sheep in Zabol city. Experimental: The P. farcta and D. stramonium were collected from...

In this study, antifungal property of olive leaf extracts against Candida albicans PTCC-5027 was examined. Fresh olive leaf extracts were prepared using distilled water in a Soxhlet apparatus. The antifungal activity of the extract was analyzed by measuring the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC), using the microdilution test and disc diffusion assa...

BACKGROUND Few studies report the minimum inhibitory concentrations for antimicrobials against equine Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis isolates. HYPOTHESIS/OBJECTIVES To evaluate trends in the in vitro activities of 20 antimicrobials against equine Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis isolates from 1996 to 2012 and to determine if a relationship exists between the minimum inhibitory concentra...

this study was carried out to evaluate the antimicrobial and antioxidant effectiveness of methanolic extract and different fractions (n-butanol, ethyl acetate, chloroform and n-hexane) of c.intybus seeds. the antimicrobial activity was determined by the disc diffusion method and minimum inhibitory concentration (mic) against a panel of microorganisms (four bacterial strains, i.e. p. multocida, ...
