Background : Pseudomonus stutzeri bactrerium is one of the most important and effective denitrifier bacteria in wastewater. With regard to the importance of effects of nitrate on water resources and human health and role of metronidazole inhibition, this study was done with the aim of survey of effect of metronidazole different concentrations on biological denitrification of Pesudomonas stutzer...

biofilm of pseudomonas aeruginosa, an opportunistic pathogen, can cause serious health problems, such as chronic infections, especially in immunocompromised patients. many studies have suggested administration of new generation of antibiotics, as p. aeruginosa biofilms have developed high resistance to antimicrobial drugs. this study reports the inhibitory effect of three medicinal plant extrac...

b-biotype bemisia tabaci is a severe insect pest worldwide in many ornamental, agricultural, and horticultural crops. control of this insect is obstructed by resistance to many acetylcholinesterase (ache)-inhibiting insecticides, such as organophosphates and carbamates. in the present work, we evaluated the acetylcholinesterase inhibitory activity of six monoterpenoids namely α-pinene, terpineo...

previous studies had shown that sub-inhibitory concentrations of silver sulphadiazine (agsd) stimulated the production of toxic shock syndrome toxin-1 in certain strains (responder strains) of staphylococcus aureus and that protease production was also affected. no changes were detected in other strains (non-responders). extracellular proteins from eleven responder and non-responder strains gro...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the in vitro effect of varying concentrations of clindamycin on Lactobocillus spp. METHODS Concentrations of clindamycin ranging from 1.95-20,000 microg/ml were studied for their effect on the growth of six strains of Lactobacillus. RESULTS Clindamycin concentrations between 1.95-31.25 microg/ml had no statistically significant effect on growth of lactobacilli (p > 0.0...

Moxalactam (LY127935; 6059-S) is a new beta-lactam antibiotic. We propose tentative zone standards for agar diffusion susceptibility tests with 30-microgram disks. The final selection of minimal inhibitory concentration breakpoints for definition of resistant and susceptible categories must await clinical experience with this drug. Some of the clinical questions to be answered are defined. A mo...
