Background & Aim:During recent decades, infections disease resulting from opportunistic fungi such as Candida albicans and resistance increasing of human pathogenic bacteria to current antibiotics has led to many problems for treating of these diseases. The aims of the present study was to investigate anti-fungi and anti-bacterial effects of Eucalyptus extract...

In Nepal, little is known about the microbiological profile of wound infections in children and their antimicrobial susceptibility patterns. Total of 450 pus/wound swab samples collected were cultured using standard microbiological techniques and the colonies grown were identified with the help of biochemical tests. The antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by Kirby-Bauer disc diff...

Laboratories that reported isolations of Streptococcus sanguis from blood cultures to the Communicable Disease Surveillance Centre (CDSC) Colindale were requested to submit strains to Bath Public Health Laboratory to allow the prevalence of penicillin tolerance within different biotypes of this species to be studied. One hundred and fifty one Streptococcus spp were received from 78 United Kingd...

The effect of combinations of the crude methanolic extract of the leaves of Helichrysum pedunculatum and eight first-line antibiotics were investigated by time kill assays against a panel of bacterial strains that have been implicated in wound infections. The plant extract showed appreciable antibacterial activities against the test bacteria with zones of inhibition ranging between 18 and 27 mm...

INTRODUCTION The co-existence of malaria with bacterial infections is common in the tropics, hence the concurrent use of antimalarials and antibiotics. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the effect on pharmacokinetics and antimicrobial activity of co-administration of quinine and combined ampicillin-cloxacillin. METHODS In total, 14 healthy adults received single oral doses of ampici...

The molecule BV-1 is designed to target the bacterial membrane and produce reactive oxygen species at this location, leading E. coli photo-inhibition a relatively low minimum inhibition concentration.

A new high throughput antibacterial method employing the dye resazurin as an indicator of bacterial growth was developed to evaluate drug susceptibility by combined measurements of microtitre-plates, colorimetric and haemocytometric assays. The bacterial strains E. coli, B. subtilis, P. aeruginosa and S. aureus (multi-drug resistant strain) were used to evaluate the preliminary screening of pla...

The antibacterial activity of the methanol extract of Wedelia chinensis leave was studied and tested against three pathogenic Gram positive bacteria (Bacillus cereus, B. subtilis and Stapylococcus aureus) and three pathogenic Gram negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Proteus rettgeri and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) by the disk diffusion assay and broth dilution methods. The extract exhibited favour...
