The in vitro antibacterial activity of ginger (Zingiber officinale) essential oil (GEO) was tested against five Gram-negative and Gram-positive fish pathgenic bacteria isolated from farmed olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) in Korea. According to the results of disk diffusion, minimum inhibitory and minimum bactericidal concentration (MIC and MBC) tests, GEO was active against most of the ...

Background: Considering the increasing resistance of bacteria to antibiotics and the presence of antibacterial agents in plantsObjectives: the aim of this study was the antimicrobial and antibiofilm activity of Tecomella undulata and Momordica charantia ethanol and aceton leaf extract on antibiotic resistance Acinetobacter baumannii.Methods: The leaves of Tecomella undulata and Momo...

In the present investigation antimicrobial activity of six different plant essential oils i.e., citrus (Citrus lemon), olive (Olea europaea), ajwain (Trachiyspirum ammi), almond (Amygdalus communis), Bavchi (Psoralea corylifolia) and neem (Azadirachta indica) oils have been evaluated. After bioassays, most of the essential oils were found susceptible to both Gram-positive bacteria such as Lacto...

The worldwide dissemination of multi drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii strains has caused serious concern and high rate of mortality in recent decades that originate from limited effective antibiotics in the treatment of A. baumannii infections. Myxobacteria are Gram-negative bacteria that are important for their complex lifestyle and production of novel structurally secondary metabolites ...

Klebsiella pneumoniae is a foodborne pathogen associated with pneumoniae. Multiresistance to antibiotics of K. pneumoniae is a significant public health treat. Recently, the use of natural products such as herbs to inhibit the growth of pathogens is increasing. Java turmeric (Curcuma xanthorrhiza Roxb.) has been reported to possess antibacterial activity against foodborne pathogens. Unfortunate...

The present study aimed to investigate major volatile compounds, organic acid, phenolic and mineral contents, antiradical antimicrobial properties of home-made apple/grape vinegar. Grape vinegar showed higher total acidity, acid content, content (TPC), activity lower minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values compared apple While acetic tartaric acids were the most abundant in grape vinegar,...

Background and Aim: Because of complexity in root canals, irrigating solutions are needed in addition to mechanical instrumentation for thorough cleansing of the root canal system. This in-vitro study was designed to determine the inhibitory effect of arginine, protamine, and aqueous extracts of green tea and aloe vera against Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis), which causes endodontic failure...

Yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis St. Hil.) has been studied for its important biological activities mainly attributed to phenolic compounds. This study evaluated the antimicrobial activity of methanolic and ethanolic extracts of yerba mate against food pathogens, such as Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella Enteritidis and Escherichia coli through minimum inhibitory (MIC) an...

Antibacterial activity of seed extracts of cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.) was investigated against 10 gram positive and gram negative bacteria. Disc diff usion method was used to test antibacterial activity. Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) were determined by using standard procedures. Th e highest (eff ective) inhibition zone of 16.67±0.47 mm was ...
