The antimicrobial effects of extracts of A. sativum and P. emblica, against pathogenic Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas sp., Klebsiella sp, Salmonella typhi, Salmonella paratyphi, Salmonella sp., Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus cereus were investigated using the agar well and disc diffusion method. Aqueous extracts of A. sativum and P. emblica were more effective than ethanolic ...

Infections caused by antibiotic resistant pathogens are of significant concern and are associated with higher mortality and morbidity. Nitrofurantoin is a broad-spectrum bactericidal antibiotic and is effectively used to treat urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by E. coli, Klebsiella sp., Enterobacter sp., Enterococcus sp. and Staphylococcus aureus. It interfere with the synthesis of cell w...

BACKGROUND Although sickle cell disease (SCD) children are highly susceptible to bacterial infections (BIs), there is a dreadful lack of data related to the burden and spectrum of BIs in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), the highest affected region with SCD. This study aimed to determine the burden and spectrum of BIs among SCD children hospitalized in a pediatric reference hospital in Cameroon, a SSA ...

The present study has focused on the occurrence of Enterococcus sp., Lactobacillus sp. and Staphylococcus sp., detected in faeces of healthy dogs, and their resistance to commonly used antibiotics. The average of the total count of enterococci reached 5.9 log10 + 1.2, that of lactobacilli 6.9 log10 + 1.6, and of staphylococci 2.4 log10 + 1.1. Among antibiotics tested, the highest resistance of ...

The essential oil from the rhizomes of Pavonia odorata Willd was extracted in an yield of 0.2% by hydrodistillation, and screened for antibacterial and antifungal activity against ten bacteria and thirteen fungi using paper disc agar diffusion technique. The oil was found to inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus, Diplococcus pheumoniae, Escherichia coli and Klebsiella sp at 0.55 concentra...

Microbiological quality control of 13 pollen samples purchased from local markets and 2 other samples provided by apiarists was investigated. TAMC ranged from 3.00 to 5.48 Log CFU/g. TMYC was between 2.3 and 6.99 Log CFU/g. Staphylococcus aureus was recovered with high density in 14 samples (up to 8.32 Log CFU/g) and Enterobactericeae count ranges from 4.18 to 8.018 Log CFU/g. Moreover, Salmone...

We examined the antibacterial activities of several types of propolis, including Africanized honey bee green propolis and propolis produced by meliponini bees. The antibacterial activity of green propolis against Micrococcus luteus and Staphylococcus aureus was superior to that of Melipona quadrifasciata and Scaptotrigona sp propolis. Only two samples of propolis (green propolis and Scaptotrigo...

The invasive red palm weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus Olivier (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), is considered one of the world's most devastating insect pests to palm trees. It was observed that larvae of this pest are able to inhibit microbial growth on the rearing media when they start feeding and this observation has led us to study the effect of red palm weevils on various microbial species. T...
