The in vitro activities of iclaprim, a novel dihydrofolate reductase inhibitor, azithromycin, and levofloxacin were tested against 10 strains of Chlamydia trachomatis and 10 isolates of Chlamydia pneumoniae. For C. trachomatis and C. pneumoniae, the iclaprim MIC and minimal bactericidal concentration at which 90% of isolates were inhibited (MIC(90) and MBC(90)) were 0.5 micro g/ml, compared to ...

OBJECTIVE The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of five different cathelicidin-derived synthetic peptides (SMAP-29, LL-37, PG-1, CRAMP and BMAP-28) for Leptospira interrogans, Borrelia spp. and Treponema pallidum subsp. pallidum were investigated in vitro. METHODS The MIC of individual peptides was defined as the lowest concentration able to i...

This study investigated the inhibitory effects of stem bark extract Chrysophyllum albidum against selected gastrointestinal tract pathogens. Powdered was cold extracted using methanol and sterile distilled water in ratio 3:2 (v/v). The mixture obtained concentrated vacuo a rotary evaporator lyophilized. screened for antibacterial, phytochemicals antioxidant properties standard method. antibacte...

The aim of this study is to evaluate the potential antimicrobial activity four commercial essential oils: Thymus vulgaris and Origanum vulgare (two for external use two internal one). tested oils was determined by using serial two-fold dilutions method. following bacterial yeast strains were purchased used in study: E. coli, S. aureus, C. albicans. minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) Thyme o...

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial and antioxidant activities essential oil (EO) from fresh leaves Psidium rufum. EO extracted by hydrodistillation identified gas chromatography coupled mass spectrometry. activity evaluated determining minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) bactericidal (MBC). Antioxidant determined β-carotene/linoleic acid co-oxidation system, 2,2...

This study aimed to compare the different selected extraction methods of propolis extracts against Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis). Extraction Malaysian Propolis (MP) from Heterotrigona itama, was carried out using 70% ethanol. For processes, such as, centrifugation-assisted (CAE), vacuum-assisted (VAE), and shaking-assisted (SAE) were used. Antimicrobial activity E. assessed antibacterial ...

There are only few studies on the antibacterial activity of red fruit extract (Pandanus conoideus Lam) against oral pathogenic bacteria. Thus, this study aims to determine effectiveness extracts by looking at Minimum inhibitory Concentrations (MIC) and Minimal Bactericidal (MBC) periodontal The subjects were Streptococcus mutans (ATCC 25175), Fusobacterium nucleatum 25586), Porphyromonas gingiv...

Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra L.) is an important medicinal plant. In this study, the antimicrobial activities of ethanolic and aqueous extracts from licorice leaves were studied compared to root extracts activities. Bacillus subtilis, Enterococcus faecalis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans were used as test organisms...

objective: the aim of this study was to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (mic) and minimum fungicidal or bactericidal concentration (mfc, mbc) of oleo-gum resin of ferula assafoetida on the growth of food spoilage microbes of bacteria, yeasts and fungal and investigation of the most sensitive of them to oleo-gum resin of these plant. methods: in this study oleo-gum resin of f.assa...

L. acidophilus bacteria and C. albicans fungi are the most common microorganisms isolated from oral cavity of patients suffering post-treatment root canal endodontic infections. Chlorophenol Camphor menthol (ChM) is one antimicrobials used for sterilizer but it still has many flaws. Coconut shell liquid smoke (CS-LS) a natural product that an antimicrobial activity non-toxic chemical compounds ...
