In this study, the antimicrobial activity of three solvent extracts of consortium (mixed culture) of commercial available probiotic bacteria against eight fish pathogens using well diffusion and disc diffusion assay method. The probiotic bacteria inhibited almost all the fish pathogens tested. All tested strains were significantly inhibited at probability level (P<0.5).Zone of inhibition was hi...

This study was developed to evaluate the prevalence of extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL) producing Klebsiella pneumoniae in two hospitals (A and B) in Goiânia, GO, Brazil. The antimicrobial susceptibility of the isolates was determined using the MicroScan WalkAway (Dade Behring, USA). Tests to evaluate the genetic correlation between the isolates were also performed. For the ESBL phenotypic...

The current study was conducted to investigate the prevalence of Salmonella spp. in turkey and to determine the antimicrobial resistance pattern of the isolated Salmonellae. Two hundred and fifty turkeys were randomly selected for cloacal soab samples preparation, and the samples were investigated for Salmonella isolation. Identification of the isolated Salmonella was performed using standard b...

This study was designed to investigate the antimicrobial activity of Cinnamomum iners standardized leave methanolic extract (CSLE), its fractions and isolated compounds. CSLE and fractions were subjected to disc diffusion, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) tests using different Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria and yeast. Within the serie...

The purpose of this study is to carry out comparative in vitro study of bactericidal effect of antimicrobial drugs used in modern endodontics against some basic microbial agents of periodontitis. Using the agar diffusion method (experiment with sterilized disks and wells) antimicrobial effect of five antimicrobial agents used in endodontics is evaluated: Rockle, Cresophene, I2/KI, Cupral, Ca(OH...

introduction: vaginitis is an inflammatory and infectious disease in human host that involved vaginal mucosa. increase of resistance to various antibacterial agent has been very significant in three or four recent decades and this important subject reveals the use of new and natural sources such as plants with medical and antimicrobial property for eradication of these infections. therefore, th...

The objectives of this study were to detect genes for virulence and bacteriocins in addition to studying the antimicrobial susceptibility of 78 strains of E. faecalis isolated from water wells for human consumption. The virulence and bacteriocin genes of 78 E. faecalis were amplified by PCR and visualized in agarose gels. The antimicrobial susceptibility was determined through diffusion agar te...

background : the aim of this study was to determine the antibacterial activity of zataria multiflora boiss (avishan-e shirazi) and carum copticum (zenian) extracts on vibrio cholerae american type culture collection (atcc14035)and v. cholerae persian type culture collection (ptcc1611) strains. methods : antimicrobial effects of the extracts were assayed by disc diffusion and broth microdilution...
