Essential oils present a fine antibacterial performance against a variety of bacteria. The main component of the cinnamon oil was eugenol (75.52%). In this study, the goal was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity and reveal bactericidal mechanism of cinnamon oil. Firstly, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum bactericide concentration (MBC) of cinnamon oil were tested. Th...

This study evaluated the in vitro antibacterial activity of essential oils from Lippia graveolens (Mexican oregano), Origanum vulgaris (oregano), Thymus vulgaris (thyme), Rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary), Cymbopogon nardus (citronella), Cymbopogon citratus (lemongrass), and Eucalyptus citriodora (eucalyptus) against Escherichia coli (n = 22) strains isolated from Alouatta spp. feces. Minimum i...

The bactericidal pharmacodynamics of antibiotics against Escherichia coli were analyzed by a concentration-killing curve (CKC) approach, and the novel parameters median bactericidal concentration (BC(50)) and bactericidal intensity (r) for bactericidal potency were proposed. By using the agar plate method, about 500 E. coli cells were inoculated onto Luria-Bertani plates containing a series of ...

objective: this study aims to evaluate the antimicrobial activity, phytochemical studies and thin layer chromatography analysis of machine oil, hexane extract of seed oil and methanol extract of presscake& latex of jatropha curcas linn (family euphorbiaceae). materials and methods: j. curcas extracts were subjected to preliminary qualitative phytochemical screening to detect the major phytochem...

This manuscript describes the synthesis of new Au(I) and Ag(I) complexes with aminophosphane ligands and a study of their antibacterial activity against Gram-negative Salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium and Escherichia coli and Gram-positive Listeria monocytogenes and Staphylococcus aureus. The bactericidal assays revealed the effectiveness of these compounds on paradigm Gram-negative and G...

Terfizia claveryi was examined for in vitro antibacterial activity using the disc diffusion, well diffusion method, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC). T. claveryi exhibited excellent antibacterial activity against all clinical isolates of corneal ulcer tested, especially against Pseudomonas aeruginosa which showed the maximum antibacterial activ...

the infections risk related to pathogenic germs increases at the present time considering the increased resistance which certain microbes acquire, whose usual antibiotics are ineffective to treat the infectious disease. the aim of this study was to determine antimicrobial effect of the aqueous and ethanolic extracts of lavandula stoechas l. and rosmarinus officinalis l. on listeria monocytogene...

the aim of this paper was to investigate the antibacterial potential of kelussia odoratissima mozff extract against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. karafs-ekoohi with the scientific name of kelussia odoratissima is an iranian endemic edible plant in the middle region of iran with enormous use as food, spice and medicinal herb . the antibacterial effect of the extracts was investigated...

This study was conducted to find out the antibacterial ability of a folk medicinal plant in Can Gio Mangrove Biosphere Reserve, Avicennia alba Blume. Leaf powder A. derived from 3 different locations Reserve used make ethanol extracts and decoctions. Methods evaluate included agar well diffusion, Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) Bactericidal (MBC). The results showed that extract Dan Xay ...

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 ...
