BACKGROUND Against a variety of antimicrobial resistant pathogens, the scientists attempted substitution of antimicrobial medicine with various nanoparticles and plant-based antibacterial substances. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess the antibacterial effects of silver nanoparticles solely and in combination with Zataria multiflora essential oil and methanolic extract on some pho...

There is an increasing need for natural compounds pest control and food preservation in agriculture, dairy industries. To satisfy this need, essential oils (EOs) from aromatic plants can serve as flavors, preservatives ecofriendly pesticides. This study investigated the potential of different EOs field-collected leaves fourteen Zataria multiflora Boiss. populations representing three chemotypes...

Gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) were employed to determine the chemical composition of the essential oil (EO) from aromatic water (AW) of Zataria multiflora. Thymol (66.9%), carvacrol (15.2%), and carvone (7.3%) were found to be the major EO constituents. Eighty laboratory BALB/c mice were infected intraperitoneally by injection of 1,500 viable protoscol...

Background: The increasing demand for natural preservatives results in their extended usefulness. The objective of the present study was to investigate the physicochemical and antioxidative characteristics of Rhus coriaria L. (sumac) fruit and comparison of its antioxidative and antibacterial activity with Zataria multiflora Essential Oil (ZEO) as native Iranian natural additives. Methods: Ant...

conclusions our findings did not support the use of zataria multiflora boiss in premenstrual syndrome. results thirty-eight students in intervention and 37 students in placebo group completed the study. the groups had no significant difference regarding the severity of pms. both groups showed a significant improvement in pms severity score after the intervention. the repeated-measure analysis o...

In order to does this study, 150 Persian sturgeons having 75g mean weight transferred to 500 liter tanks. After dividing the fishes into two groups (experimental and control), the fingerlings fed by concentrate food that contained different levels of Zataria multiflora essential oil (15, 25, 50, 100 g/kg) for 8 weeks. Finally, sampling carried out on blood and serum of fishes. After preparin...

Zataria multiflora is one of the valuable medicinal plants belonging to the Lamiaceae family. The aromatic aerial parts of this species are traditionally used by endemic folks to flavor some native foods, also for numerous therapeutic functions. In the present study, different plant organs (leaf, flower, stalk and whole aerial organ) were collected from Fanuj region of Sistan & Balouchestan pro...

OBJECTIVE this study designed to test the antibacterial potency of enrofloxacin (ENR) and essential oils from Zataria multiflora Boiss (ZEO) and Trachyspermum copticum (TEO) on Aeromonas hydrophila. MATERIAL AND METHODS The antibacterial potency of test compounds was determined by several methods including the inhibition zone diameter determination, microbroth dilution method and colorimetric...
