The fruits of Solanum torvum (Swartz), a vegetable-fruit, are used in traditional medicine Togo the treatment infectious diseases and as an anti-anemic. This study then focused on antimicrobial activity assessment hydroethanolic extract these interest contributing to valorization this Togolese flora’s species. A extraction (50 % - 50 %: v/v) was performed followed by preliminary phytochemical t...

Objective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of new bioceramic root canal sealers Smartpaste Bio, MTA Fillapex and AH plus. Materials and Methods: The antimicrobial activity of sealers was tested by agar diffusion method on the surface of agar plates of Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida albicans and Escherichia co...

The current study examines the antimicrobial and antioxidant properties of different extracts of the microalga Dunaliella salina Teodoresco (Dunaliellaceae), their fatty acid composition and the antimicrobial activity of the oil. Antimicrobial and antioxidant activities were evaluated by obtaining extracts of D. salina in n-hexane, dichloromethane, ethanol, and methanol. To evaluate the antimic...

This study was designed to examine the in vitro antioxidant and antimicrobial activities and to characterize the polyphenolic composition of the ethanolic extracts of Hyssopus officinalis, Ocimum basilicum and Teucrium chamaedrys. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of the major phenolic compounds were conducted using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (HPLC-M...

Aromatic plants are rich in essential oils with considerable antimicrobial properties. The aim of this study was to investigate chemical composition, antimicrobial activity and antioxidant properties of Melissa officinalis and Deracocephalum moldavica essential oils (EOs). The identification of chemical constituents of the EOs was carried out using gas chromato-graphy-mass spectrometry analysis...

This study was conducted to determine the antimicrobial activity of methanol and ethanol extracts of peels of pomegranate (Punica grana), orange (Citrus siensis) and lemon (Limona taris) against four foodborne pathogens (Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella Typhimurium, Escherichia coli and methicillinresistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and a food spoilage bacterium (Pseudomonas fluorescens. I...

conclusions due to the variable nature of antibiotic susceptibility patterns and etiological agents of septicemia, continual assessment of the most frequent pathogens associated with bloodstream infections and detection of their sensitivity patterns to locally available antibiotics seem to be reasonable measures. results from a total of 491 blood cultures, 74 (15.1%) samples were detected as po...

the objective of the present study was to determine whether there was an association between the in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility test results of subclinical mastitis pathogens and bacteriological outcomes of intramammary treatments using cefquinome. a total of 110 intramammary pathogens from 51 cows were assessed in this study. most intramammary infections were due to coagulase-negative s...

BACKGROUND Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a nosocomial (hospital-acquired) pathogen of exceptional concern. It is responsible for life-threatening infections in both the hospital and the community. AIMS To determine the frequency of MRSA misidentification in hospitals in Tripoli, Libya using current testing methods. METHODS One hundred and seventy S. aureus isolates p...

OBJECTIVE To check the antimicrobial activity of Azadirachta indica (Neem), Ocimum sanctum (Tulsi), Mimusops elelngi (Bakul), Tinospora cardifolia (Giloy) and Chlorhexidine Gluconate (CHX) on common endodontic pathogens like Streptococcus mutans, Enterococcus faecalis and staphylococcus aureus. MATERIALS AND METHODS The agar diffusion test was used to check the antimicrobial activity of the M...
