A significant percentage survival, representing a large number of viable cells, can occur in a Staphylococcus aureus population exposed to concentrations of mupirocin up to 1,000 times the minimum inhibitory concentration. An elevated ratio of minimum inhibitory to minimum bactericidal concentration of mupirocin with staphylococci was recorded. Staphylococci which survive exposure to mupirocin ...

use of herbal extracts and essences as natural antibacterial compounds has become increasingly popular for the control of oral infectious diseases. therefore, finding natural antimicrobial products with the lowest side effects seems necessary. the present study sought to assess the effect of punica granatum l. water extract on five oral bacteria and bacterial biofilm formation on orthodontic wi...

Cinnamon has been used for neuralgia on the knees and waist, and it is shown to have a wide antibacterial spectrum in both Gram-positive bacteria and Gram-negative bacteria. In this study, glucosyltransferase adhesive ability, acid-production suppression effect, and antibacterial activity were measured to identify the anti-caries effect of cinnamon extract. It was shown that cinnamon extract ef...

vibrio cholerae is a human pathogen that causes mild to severe diarrheal illnesses and has major public health significance. the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of antimicrobial activity of the gold nanoparticles on vibrio cholera. gold and silver nanoparticles are chemically synthesized. standard strain of vibrio cholerawas cultured in a nutrient broth. minimum inhibitory conc...

propolis has traditionally been used in curing infections and healing wounds and burns. current researches have shown that propolis has antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral actions however, the pharmacological activity of propolis is highly variable depending on its geographic origin. there have been few studies on the effects of iranian propolis on the oral microorganisms. in this in-vitro ...

Antimicrobial properties of chitosan extracted from indigenous shrimp processing waste were determined against one gram-negative (Salmonella Paratyphi) and one gram-positive bacterium (Staphylococcus aureus) in vitro. The antimicrobial activities of chitosan were explored by calculation of the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) in media supplemen...
