as part of our ongoing interest in exploring the synthesis of antibacterial agent, we report an efficient, mild, one pot and chemoselective procedure for preparation of 3-poly (vinylbenzyl)-5,5-dimethylimidazolidine-2,4-dione as a antimicrobial agent from poly(vinylbenzyl chloride) and 5,5-dimethylhydantoin in the presence of a base in dmf as a solven. the ft-ir technique and melting point conf...

Purpose To test the antimicrobial properties of the extracts of stems and leaves of Ginja cherry plant. Both stems and leaves are waste in the production of the cherry liquor and they could be valorised by extracting valuable compounds, making the process more environmentally sustainable. Methods The ethanol extracts from both stems and leaves were analysed by LC-ESI/MS to determine the phenoli...

Some derivatives of bactobolin were prepared from bactobolin by dehydration or substitution reactions through tris(dimethylamino)alkoxyphosphonium salt formation. A derivative with low toxicity, 6-deoxybactobolin, showed moderate activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

BACKGROUND Multi-drug resistant bacteria are increasing and remain a major public health challenge worldwide. In order to understand the potential role of medical students as a reservoir for circulating pathogenic bacteria and their transmission, we analysed the nasal colonisation among 86 clinically exposed medical students of the Medical University of Vienna, which is integrated into General ...

The antibacterial activity of ethanol extract of Zingiber officinale Roscoe (ginger) and its combination with different salts like CuSO4, ZnSO4 and MnCl2 was investigated. Both Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria were tested by agar diffusion method. The results showed that ethanol extract of Zingiber officinale gave the maximum zone of inhibition at 50mg/ml concentrations against Escheric...

conclusions due to phenolic content, methanolic extract of m. piperita has moderate antibacterial and antifungal properties against the aforementioned gram positive and gram negative bacteria and fungi strains. materials and methods the methanolic extract was prepared by standard procedure, and total phenol, total flavonoid, and total anthocyanin content were determined using a spectrophotomete...

Thioridazine (Th), which is therapeutically used in psychiatric patients, was found to possess conspicuous antimicrobial activity when tested against 316 strains belonging to a number of Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. Although Staphylococcus aureus, Vibrio chloerae and V. parahaemolyticus were found to be most sensitive, Th was highly bactericidal against S. aureus and bacteriostatic...

BACKGROUND Medicinal plants are widely used for the treatment of different infectious diseases. Infectious diseases caused by bacteria have a large impact on public health. This study aimed to determine the in vitro antibacterial activity of the medicinal plants traditionally used in Vietnam against the bacterial strains associated with infectious diseases. METHODS Methanol extracts of twelve...

Nanomaterials are increasingly used to the targeting of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria as an alternative to antibiotics. Bacterial infections are a major cause of chronic infections and mortality. People requirement for new materials for pathogenic bacteria treatment. It seems that nanomaterial-based strategies can be resolving this problem. In this research, improved antibacterial na...

background and objective: diabetes mellitus is one of the main problems in health systems in the world. diabetic foot infections (dfi) is one of the main complications and the most cause  of non-traumatic lower limb amputation .this study aimed to determine the prevalence of bacteria involved in dfi and their antibiotic resistance in patients with dfi diagnosis. patients and methods: this desc...
