introduction: many people are used medicinal plants due to natural, low risks and complications, and low costs as compared with the synthetic drugs. incidence of drug resistance against chemical antimicrobial drugs has led the use of medicinal plants for treatment of infections in recent years. the aim of this study was to examine possible antibacterial effects of four herbal plants in vitro.  ...

Since our previous study revealed that several licorice phenolics have antibacterial effects on methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), and suppressive effects on the oxacillin resistance of MRSA, we further investigated effectiveness of licorice constituents on vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) bacteria, and purified 32 phenolic compounds. Two flavonoids among them were chara...

Resterative materials in the new era should be "bio-active", and antibacterial effects are highlighted as one of the important properties. In order to achieve resi]-based restoratives with antibacterial efft]cts, an antibaeterial monomer MDPB has been developed. The primer ineoTporating MDPB aemonstrated eavity-disinfecting effects, and the world's first antibacterial adhesive system employing ...

antibacterial effects of honeybee propolis tested on the paenibacillus larvae larvae, cause of honeybee american foulbrood disease. after cultivation of bacterium in special medium we used of two antibacterial susceptibility tests: broth dilution susceptibility test and paper disk susceptibility test. in the b.d.s.t 0.32 milligrams/ml and higher concentrations of propolis inhibited growth of th...

introduction: aloe vera compounds have inhibitory activity on fungi, bacteria, and viruses. this study examines the antibacterial activity of a. vera purified extracts including gel, boiled skin, boiled gel, and distilled extract against pathogenic bacteria, staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant s. aureus (mrsa), klebsiella pneumonia and pseudomonas aeruginosa were elucidated. method: th...

OBJECTIVES We are often confused on selecting a suitable wound dressing for the treatment of infected wounds from huge number of available wound dressings. Then, to help clinicians easily select a wound dressing, we compared the antibacterial effects and bacterial retentivity (ie, potency of keeping absorbed bacteria inside wound dressings and preventing them from leaking out) of wound dressing...

In the present research work three Pakistani medicinal plants were scrutinized for their antibacterial and phytotoxic potentials. The antibacterial and phytotoxic effects were determined for the crude methanolic extract and its subsequent solvent fractions. In case of antibacterial effect the chloroform and ethyl acetate fractions of all tested plants showed moderate antibacterial potential. Al...

In this study, we report the antibacterial activities of six polyphenols (i.e., luteolin, quercetin, scutellarin, apigenin, chlorogenic acid, and resveratrol) against 29 clinical isolates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), and in vitro antibacterial activities of two-drug combinations. All of the MRSA strains evaluated were clinical isolates from patients with MRSA bacteremi...

The resistance of bacteria towards traditional antibiotics currently constitutes one of the most important health care issues with serious negative impacts in practice. Overcoming this issue can be achieved by using antibacterial agents with multimode antibacterial action. Silver nano-particles (AgNPs) are one of the well-known antibacterial substances showing such multimode antibacterial actio...
