A preliminary study was made on the antibacterial mechanism of copper-bearing antibacterial stainless steels against E.coli through experiments of microbiology such as EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid) complexing, DNA smearing and AFM (atomic force microscope) observation. It was measured that the antibacterial stainless steels showed excellent antibacterial functions with antibacterial ra...

background and aims. the aim of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial activity of one-step self-etch adhesives on enterococcus faecalis on days 1, 7 and 14 with the use of modified direct contact test. materials and methods. the modified direct contact test was used to evaluate the antibacterial effect of adper easy one, bond force, clearfil s3 bond, futurabond m, g-bond, ibond and optib...

objectives the aim of this study was to evaluate the stability of antibacterial properties of nanosilver solution during a period of 9 months against streptococcus mutans, staphylococcus aureus and pseudomonas aeruginosa. materials and methods in this in vitro study, the antibacterial effect of serial concentrations of nanosilver solution and amoxicillin antibiotic as control group on the stand...

Purpose: In this study, we have focused on antibacterial effect of newly synthesized thiazole, imidazole, and tetrahydropyrimidine derivatives in Iran on listeria monocytogenes. Materials and Methods: For evaluation of antibacterial effect, the disk diffusion method was applied to measure the growth inhibition zone diameter and broth micro dilution was performed to determine the minimum inhibit...

We synthesized peptide-resin conjugates (1 and 2) by immobilizing β-sheet antibacterial peptide and α helical antibacterial peptide on PEG-PS resin, respectively. Conjugate 1 showed considerable antibacterial activity in various conditions, whereas conjugate 2 did not exhibit antibacterial activity. The growths of various bacteria were inhibited by conjugate 1 even at lower concentrations than ...

The primary tooth pulpectomy is a common clinical procedure. The choice of filling material is important to the success rate, but antibacterial properties of such materials against organisms known to inhabit infected primary root canals have not been well documented. This study compared the antibacterial effectiveness of 10 materials: 1. Calcium hydroxide mixed with camphorated parachlorophenol...

In the present study, chemical composition and the antibacterial mechanism of ambrette seed oil are investigated. Chemical composition of the oil was analysed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Thirty-five compounds were identified and the major compounds were found to be farnesol acetate (51.45%) and ambrettolide (12.96%). The antibacterial activity was performed by well diffusio...

Honey: This topic has been extensively reviewed by Bogdanov, online article with original references on www.bee-hexagon.net/files/file/fileE/Honey/7HoneyNutrientFunctional.pdf The antibacterial effect of honey, mostly against gram-positive bacteria, both bacteriostatic and bactericidal effects have been reported, against many strains, many of which are pathogenic. Honey glucose oxidase produces...

The aim of this study was to examine the antibacterial effect of several current orthodontic materials against a certain oral bacterium. The antibacterial activities of six orthodontic composite resins (Transbond LR, Light Cure Retainer (LCR), Light Bond, System 1+, Kurasper F, Transbond XT adhesive), two orthodontic bonding materials (Transbond XT primer and System 1+ activator) and two glass ...
