Background and objectives: Today, due to the increasing antibiotic resistance of bacteria, the use of medicinal plants as a suitable alternative to antibiotics has increased significantly; therefore, in this study, the antibacterial effects of methanolic extracts of Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli were evaluated.   Methods: In this laborator...

  Objective(s):   The ongoing increasing antibiotic resistance is one of the biggest challenges faced by global public health. The perennial need for new antimicrobials against a background of increasing antibiotic resistance in pathogenic and opportunistic microorganisms obliges the scientific community to constantly develop new drugs and antimicrobial agents. Lichens are known pro...

Stereospermum fimbriatum (local name: “Chicha”) has been used traditionally to treat postpartum illness, stomachache, earache and itchy skin in Malaysia. This study was performed investigate the phytochemical contents of S. (flowers, leaves, twig stem bark) by phytochemicals screening GC-MS analysis as well determine their antimicrobial potential against eleven skin-associated pathogens. The ex...

aqueous extract and volatile oil were obtained from miliusa tomentosa by using soxhlet extractor and hydro distillation with a clevenger-type apparatus respectively. the extract and volatile oil both were screened for antimicrobial activity against different bacteria (escherichia coli, staphylococcus aureus, bacillus subtilis, klebsiella pncumoniae, pseudomonas aeruginosa, bacillus pumilis) and...

A non-malleable extractor is a seeded extractor with a very strong guarantee – the output of a non-malleable extractor obtained using a typical seed is close to uniform even conditioned on the output obtained using any other seed. The first contribution of this paper consists of two new and improved constructions of non-malleable extractors: We construct a non-malleable extractor with seed-leng...

Highlighting the nutritional benefit of oil gleaned from seed sweet orange Citrus sinensis has become necessary; owing to fact that is predominantly considered a waste. Therefore, aim present study was investigate benefits extracted family; Rutaceae, and order; Sapindales. A total 2.0 kg coarsely crushed seeds were immersed in 15 liters n-hexane for 72 hours batches with intermittent vigorous s...
