Essential oils present a fine antibacterial performance against a variety of bacteria. The main component of the cinnamon oil was eugenol (75.52%). In this study, the goal was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity and reveal bactericidal mechanism of cinnamon oil. Firstly, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum bactericide concentration (MBC) of cinnamon oil were tested. Th...

Background and Objectives: Vibrio parahaemolyticus is the causative agent of gastroenteritis due to consumption of contaminated seafood. The aim of the present study was to determine the chemical composition of Essential Oils (EOs) of five plants (Artemisia absinthium, Zataria multiflora Boiss., Pulicaria gnaphalodes, Trachyspermum ammi and Cuminum cyminum) and to evaluate their antimicrobial a...

Enoxolone is a major component of a traditional plant called Licorice. This substance has been found to contain some pharmaceutical properties including of both antiviral and antifungal activities. Microbiological studies have identified more than seven periodontopathogens in the periodontal pockets, which less than 4 species were capnophile. The purpose of this study was to investigate the in ...

background and aim: in recent years, due to the indiscriminate and irrational use of synthetic drugs, the resistance of pathogenic microorganisms has increased; therefore, new compounds are vitally needed. the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of ethanolic and aqueous extracts of berberis vulgaris on escherichia coli, klebsiella pneumoniae, proteus mirabilis, citrobacter frund...

Background: Given the concerns about the use of chemical preservatives in food, the consumers and producers have been interested in natural alternatives, such as plant essential oils and extracts. Since there are limited studies about the effect of saffron (Crocus sativus L.) on the behavior of foodborne pathogens in food models, this study aimed to determine the inhibitory effect of aqueous ex...

a novel chemical detergent/disinfectant formulated based on persulfate salts, germicide p , is available for disinfection of surfaces and medical devices at the room temperature. because of the resistance of hospital-resident microorganisms, the antimicrobial activity of this compound is evaluated in the present study. the tests conducted with this disinfectant included bactericidal tests again...

Background and aims: Tooth decay is one of the most common chronic diseases around the world and this problem is the result of variety of different bacteria. Streptococcus mutants is one of the most important bacteria which is related to this disease. Finding new effective antibacterial agents is an important area in bioscience for fighting and controlling bacterial infections. Essential oils a...
