Urinary tract infections (UTIs) have been reported to affect up to 150 million individuals worldwide every year [1] and caused mainly by Escherichia coli (68%); Klebsiella (16.9%); Proteus (5.5%); Enterobacter (5.3%); Staphylococcus saprophyticus (2.8%); and others (1.5%) of the isolates in India [18]. The World Health Organization and the European Commission have recognized the importance of s...

Aims: The study aims to estimate the carriage of Staphylococci spp on nares and hands among dental staff their antibiotic resistance pattern.

total flavonoids contents and antibacterial activity of the extracts from the aerial parts of two labiateae species, nepeta menthoides boiss. & buhse and thymus trautvetteri klokov & desj.-shost. were determined. quantitative determination of flavonoid contents was calculated in terms of quercetin equivalent in various extracts (50% methanol, chloroform and distilled water) by alcl3 colorimetri...

A set of universal degenerate primers which amplified, by PCR, a 600-bp oligomer encoding a portion of the 60-kDa heat shock protein (HSP60) of both Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis were developed. However, when used as a DNA probe, the 600-bp PCR product generated from S. epidermidis failed to cross-hybridize under high-stringency conditions with the genomic DNA of S. aureu...

In this study heterocyclic compounds were prepared from thioxanthone derivatives and determined their structure by measuring melting point (M.P) infrared spectrum (FTR) 1HNMR for each one. These used testing antibacterial activity Streptococcus mutans, Staphylococcus saprophyticus, Enterococcus faecalis (Gram positive bacteria) Haemophilus influenzae negative bacteria). Prepared I,II,III,IIV sh...

The mealy bug, Rhizoecus amorphophalli, is a menace to the aroid farmers due to the intensive infestation on stored tubers. Spraying of pesticides was able to control this pest but it always left a chance for fungal growth. Bacterial endosymbionts associated with the insects provide several benefits to their host. Since such endosymbionts play a vital role even in the physiology of their host, ...
