Carbapenem resistance due to acquired metallo-beta-lactamases (MBLs) is considered to be more serious than other resistance mechanisms. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial activity of Zataria multiflora Boiss and Carum copticum plants on IMP-producing P.aeruginosa strains. This experimental study was carried out on hospitalized burn patients during 2011 and 2012. Antibiotics...

The purpose of the present study was to evaluate and assess the capability of Zataria multiflora, Geranium herbarium, and Eucalyptus camaldolensis essential oils in treating Saprolegnia parasitica-infected rainbow (Oncorhynchus mykiss) trout eggs. A total of 150 infected eggs were collected and plated on glucose-pepton agar at 24°C for 2 weeks. The antifungal assay of essential oils against S. ...

the effects of two iranian medicinal plants including zataria multiflora and geranium pelargoniumwere evaluated on growth-inhibiting of some toxigenic fungi such as aspergillus flavus, a. parasiticus, a.ochraceus and fusarium verticillioides. in this study, standard z. multiflora and g. pelargonium essentialoils (eos) were diluted in 0.01% dimethyl sulfoxide. different dilutions of z. multiflor...

we studied the antioxidant activities of the essential oils of zataria multiflora boiss. (zeo) and bunium persicum (boiss.) b. fedtsch (beo) in mixed form on linseed oil using (dpph•), ­(­abts•+), h2o2 scavenging, and reducing power assays. after calculation of ic50 for zeo and beo separately, interactions of the essential oils were investigated at the form of mixture and the results were given...

objective(s): the aim of the present study was to prepare, characterize, and evaluate solid lipid nanoparticles (slns) containing zataria multiflora essential oil (zeo). materials and methods: in this study, z. multiflora essential oil-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (ze-slns) were prepared to improve its efficiency in controlling some fungal pathogens. slns containing z. multiflora essential ...

the object of this research was to find an alternative to fungicide for the prevention of postharvestfruits. therefore the effect of zataria multiflora essential oil on the quality of sultana grapes followingthe harvest was investigated. the essential oil was extracted by hydro-distillation and analyzed using acombination of gc and gc/ms. the results indicated a high percentage of anti-fungal c...
