We provide epidemiological evidence that shell disease, a very common problem of crustaceans in polluted environments, coincides with low serum antibacterial activity. In commercially important blue crabs Callinectes sapidus from the Albemarle-Pamlico Estuary, North Carolina, USA, we identified potent antibacterial activity which was active against most of the bacteria inhabiting the shell of b...

In medicinal chemistry nitrogen containing heterocycles are the most important compounds which show various biological activities. The cinnoline are nitrogenous derivatives and found to elicit many pharmacological actions like anti-hypertensive, antithrombotic, antihistamine, antileukemic, CNS activity, anti tumor, antibacterial and antisecretory activity. We planned to synthesis new series of ...

In the present study, chemical composition and the antibacterial mechanism of ambrette seed oil are investigated. Chemical composition of the oil was analysed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Thirty-five compounds were identified and the major compounds were found to be farnesol acetate (51.45%) and ambrettolide (12.96%). The antibacterial activity was performed by well diffusio...

Antibacterial peptides are researched mainly for the potential benefit they have in a variety of socially relevant diseases, used by the host to protect itself from different types of pathogenic bacteria. We used the mathematical-computational method known as Hidden Markov models (HMMs) in targeting a subset of antibacterial peptides named Selective Cationic Amphipatic Antibacterial Peptides (S...

Honey: This topic has been extensively reviewed by Bogdanov, online article with original references on www.bee-hexagon.net/files/file/fileE/Honey/7HoneyNutrientFunctional.pdf The antibacterial effect of honey, mostly against gram-positive bacteria, both bacteriostatic and bactericidal effects have been reported, against many strains, many of which are pathogenic. Honey glucose oxidase produces...

Selective antihistamine receptor type 2 blockers are widely used for treatment of peptic ulcer, these drugs are famotidine,cimetidine,nizatidine and ranitidine and because many nonantibiot ics agents have antibacterial activity so this study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial effects of selective H2 blockers. Tewnty two of bacterial strains were slected 5 Staphylococcus aureus,5 Escherichia co...

Antibiotic resistance makes Antimierobial peptides (AMPs) agents an alternative for treatment of pathogenic diseases. They are isolated from various invertebrate animals, vertebrates and plants. The present study shows the electrophoretic pattern of protein and peptides from Vicia faba seed and reports our first attempt to study the antibacterial activity of Vicia faba seed extract. The crude e...

The present study was aimed to evaluate the phytochemical constituents and antibacterial activity of the flower extracts of Albizia lebbeck, Cordia sebestena, Thunbergia grandiflora and Antigonon leptopus. Preliminary phytochemical screening was done by the standard methods described by Harborne. Antibacterial study was carried out by disc diffusion method. The results of the phytochemical anti...

Antibacterial activity of 19 essential oils was screened against four test bacteria namely Pseudomonas aeruginosa NCIM 5029, Staphylococcus aureus NCIM 5021, Salmonella typhimurium NCIM 2501 and Bacillus subtilis NCIM 2063. Varying degree of antibacterial activity was recorded with the highest being depicted by Cinnamomum zeylanicum followed by Cymbopogon ciatrus and Carum copticum, against all...

During the present study the antibacterial activity of Morinda citrifolia leaf, fruit and seed extract was assessed in-vitro by using disc diffusion method. A total of five different accessions of M. citrifolia plants were randomly selected and screened for antibacterial activity against five different bacterial pathogens. Overall analysis of the antibacterial activity of various extracts revea...
