This study aims to determine the antibacterial activity, effective concentration and effect of increasing methanol extract Jeruju leaves (Acanthus ilicifolius) on growth inhibition Streptococcus Mutans bacteria. Extraction was carried out by maceration using as a solvent. Testing activity agar diffusion method (modified Kirby Bauer diffusion) means wells. The results were analyzed One way ANOVA...

The aim of the present investigation was to assess and compare the antimicrobial activities of the lemon (Citrus sinensis) peel extract and lemon oil against common food borne pathogens and to study their potential as food bio-preservatives. The antagonistic activity of lemon peel extract and lemon oil was studied against common food borne pathogens like Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus ep...

plants or natural resources have been found to be a good alternative method for nanoparticles synthesis. in this study, polyaniline coated silver nanoparticles (agnps) synthesized from piper betle leaves extract were investigated for their antibacterial activity. silver nanoparticles were prepared from the reduction of silver nitrate and nabh4 was used as reducing agent. silver nanoparticles an...

the antibacterial and antioxidant activities of methanol and acetone extracts of three marine algae, including hypnea hamulosa, gracilaria corticata and enteromorpha intestinalis wereinvestigated.antioxidant activities were determined by means of total antioxidant capacity, total phenolic compounds, dpph radical scavenging activity and ferric reducing antioxidant power. antibacterial activity w...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate a calibration method for disk diffusion antibiotic susceptibility tests, using zone diameter values generated in the individual laboratory as the internal calibrator for combinations of antibiotic and bacterial species. METHODS The high-zone side of zone histogram distributions was first analyzed by moving averages to determine the peak position of the susceptible popula...

The mean diameter of the capillary-free zone of the fovea was measured on fluorescein angiograms of 167 eyes of 158 patients. In all eyes examined, a clear-cut capillary-free area was found, although in a few cases one or two capillaries crossing the avascular zone were seen. There was a considerable individual variation in each age group. The mean diameter of the capillary-free zone was 0.53 m...

a bacteriological investigation performed on the biopsies of 1 30 patients with gastrointestinal disorders at the gi section of imam khomeini hospital concluded in the isolation of 100 cases of helicobacler pylori. the antibacterial effects of bismuth salts alone and in synergy with tetracycline and metronidazole were evaluated on the basis of disc diffusion method on 5 randomly selected pure c...
