Ethanol extract of Rhodomyrtus tomentosa (Aiton) Hassk. leaf was evaluated for antibacterial activity against 47 clinical isolates of Streptococcus pyogenes. The extract exhibited good anti-S. pyogenes activity against all the tested isolates with similar minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC, 3.91-62.5 μg mL(-1)) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC, 3.91-62.5 μg mL(-1)) ranges. No surv...

The methanol extract of 12 medicinal plants were evaluated for its antibacterial activity against Gram-positive (5 strains) and Gram-negative bacteria (10 strains) by assay for minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bacterial concentration (MBC) . The antibacterial activity was determined by an agar dilution method (according to the guidelines of Clinical and Laboratory Standard Ins...

the antibacterial activity of a series of ionic liquids containing short-chained 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium cations ([cnmim+]; n = 2, 4, 6 and 8) and bis (trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide anion ([tf2n]) against e. coli and b. subtilis was measured, for the first time. all ils used in this work were synthesized and analyzed by fourier transform infrared (ft-ir) spectroscopy, nmr, and karl-fischer...

The aim study antibacterial effects of silver nanoparticles against resistant strains of E.coli bacteria.12 strains of E. coli strains arising urinary infection were isolated from hospitalized patient in zabolhospitals. Minimum inhibitory concentration of winter cherry were determined by dilution method in various concentration on bacteria. The highest MIC values was found to be 100ppm against ...

Euclea natalensis A.DC., Knowltonia vesicatoria (L.f) Sims, and Pelargonium sidoides DC. are South African plants traditionally used to treat tuberculosis. Extracts from these plants were used in combination with isoniazid (INH) to investigate the possibility of synergy with respect to antimycobacterial activity. The ethanol extract of K. vesicatoria was subjected to fractionation to identify t...

Clove (Syzygium aromaticum) and turmeric (Curcuma longa) extracts were tested against crucifer pathogens using soaking method. Both extracts showed inhibitory effects on the pathogens. The results of antifungal activities revealed that clove extract was indicated the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of Alternaria brassicicola and Fusarium oxyporum at 1900 ppm and 2300 ppm respectively. Wh...

In vitro antibacterial potential of the chloroform, ethyl acetate, hexane, methanol and aqueous extracts of Calotropis gigantia (L.) R. Br. was evaluated by using five cariogenic bacteria, Actinomyces viscosus, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei, Streptococcus mitis and Streptococcus mutans. Agar well diffusion method and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) were used for this pur...

BACKGROUND Bovine dermatophilosis, an important skin disease of cattle caused by Dermatophilus congolensis, negatively impacts the livelihoods of small-holder farmers in Zimbabwe. This impact is through, morbidity, loss of draught animal power, costs incurred to manage the disease, losses associated with devalued damaged hides and the resultant culling of some of the affected cattle. Due to the...

Introduction: Streptococcus sanguinis is a facultative anaerobic Gram-positive bacteria known as pioneer that plays role in creating the biofilm oral cavity. Strawberry fruit (Fragaria x ananassa) an edible widely used for study their active compound synergy to improve health. This aims analyse antibacterial activity of strawberry against S. (ATCC 10556). Methods: An explorative was conducted w...
