The present study was conducted to determine the antibacterial activity of Tribulus terrestris against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Four different concentrations i.e. 15mg/ml, 20mg/ml, 25mg/ml, 30mg/ml of different extract of water and ethanol extracts of Tribulus terrestris were screened for antibacterial activity by disc diffusion method. Ofloxacin was control drug. Ethanol extract of Tribulus ter...

A series of (28) 1-alkyl-3-methacryloyl (acryloyl)-benzimidazolone (thione) deriv-atives were synthesized. The structures of the new derivatives were confirmed by (1)H-NMR, (13)C-NMR and ESI-MS spectral analysis. The antibacterial activities of these compounds against several strains of bacteria, such as Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas...

Schinus molle L. (aguaribay, aroeira-falsa, "molle", family Anacardiaceae), a native of South America, produces an active antibacterial essential oil extracted from the leaves and fruits. This work reports a complete study of its chemical composition and determines the antibacterial activity of Schinus molle L. essential oil and its main components. The results showed that the crude extract ess...

The methanol, acetone and 1,4-dioxan fractions of leaves of Polyalthia longifolia (Sonn.) Thw. were evaluated for antibacterial and antifungal activity. 91 clinically important strains were used for the study which were both clinical isolates as well as identified strains. Piperacillin and gentamicin were used as standards for antibacterial assay, while nystatin and flucanazole were used as sta...

Either the whole plant or plant products having medicinal properties are commonly known as medicinal plants. These medicinal plants are known to possess various phytochemicals, which exhibit more bioactivities such as antibacterial, antifungal, anticancer activity, etc. In this study, Aegle marmelos was collected from Chennai, crude extract of fruit and pulp of the chosen plant was subjected fo...

BACKGROUND Epistaxis is a common problem in childhood. It has been shown that children with recurrent epistaxis are more likely to have nasal colonization with Staphylococcus aureus. It has been suggested that low-grade inflammation, crusting and increased vascularity due to bacterial colonization contributes to the development of epistaxis in children. AIMS This study aimed to investigate th...

aquatics are a source of bioactive compounds that these compounds have different properties such as antimicrobial activity. in this study, antibacterial activity of methanol, chloroform and hexane extracts from body wall, gonad and intestine of sea cucumber holothuria leucospilota was evaluated against bacillus subtilis, pseudomonas aeruginosa and staphylococcus aureus. bioactive compounds of b...

background: the presence of antibacterial drug residues in food caused many concerns for consumers. this study was designed to determine of antibacterial drug residues in commercial eggs distributed in urmia, iran.  methods: disc diffusion microbial inhibition test was performed using three media seeded with bacillus subtilis at different ph values (6, 7.2 or 8) and a fourth medium seeded with ...

The aim of the study was to examine antibacterial activity of the honey of stingless honeybees (Meliponinae). An agar well diffusion assay demonstrated that many honey samples of stingless honeybees inhibited the growth of test strains of Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa; moreover, they exhibited non-peroxide antibacterial activity agains...

The study describes the antibacterial and anticancer activities of a nanocomposite prepared by mixing zinc oxide and titanium dioxide nanoparticles. The particle mixtures were analyzed by X-ray diffraction, Field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and dynamic light scattering techniques. Thus, analyzed samples were s...
