The objective of the current work was to test antimicrobial impact Salvia officinalis and Mentha longifolia collected from Al-Madinah city in Saudi Arabia extracted by hydrodistillation versus Escherichia coli (ATCC25922), Enterobacter cloacae (ATCC13047), Candida tropicalis (ATCC 13803), Aspergillus fumigates (ATCC46645). M. essential oils showed higher inhibition zones tested microorganisms, ...

BACKGROUND Fungal corneal ulcer is one of the major causes of visual impairment worldwide. Treatment of fungal corneal ulcer mainly depends on anti-fungal agents. In the current study, we developed an integrated combination therapy of cryotherapy and anti-fungal agents to facilitate effective treatment of fungal corneal ulcer. METHODS Rabbit models of cornea infection were established using a...

Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) is a common fungal infection with high mortality rates in immunocompromised patients. Early diagnosis of IPA is still challenging because of its nonspecific clinical symptoms and radiological presentations.To evaluate the clinical value of a commercial Aspergillus fumigates-specific IgM antibody assay in diagnosis of IPA, a multicenter prospective study wa...

The synthesis of N-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)-2-(4-substituted-1H-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)acetamides 5a-r via the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction between 2-azido-N-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)acetamide derivatives 3a-c and different alkynes were performed in the presence and absence of ultrasound irradiation. The synthesis was carried out using t-BuOH/H₂O (1:1, v/v) as reaction solvents and CuSO₄·5H₂O/sodi...

Our previous studies reported that pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), including the cell surface Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and cytoplasmic NOD-like receptors (NLRs), recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPS) to initiate downstream signal cascades to active immunity responses. Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) has recently emerged as a key cytokine in the development of type...

Indigo naturalis is effective in treating nail psoriasis coexisting with microorganism infections. This study examines the antimicrobial effects of indigo naturalis prepared from Strobilanthes formosanus Moore. Eight bacterial and seven fungal strains were assayed using the agar diffusion method to examine the effects of indigo naturalis and its bioactive compounds. The bioactive compounds of i...

Background : In the educational hospitals of Hamedan university of medical sciences there was no previous study on qualitative and quantitative of bioaerosoles in the air of different wards. So, in this study the quality and quantity of bioaerosols in the air of hospitals was investigated to establish reference for future studies or measures. Materials and Methods: In this cross sectional rese...

There has been considerable interest in the development of novel compounds with anticonvulsant, antioxidant, antibacterial, and antifungal activities. The present study explores antimicrobial activity some new arylidene hydrazide derivatives correlates effect on potency by varying substituents part arylidine hydrazide. Hydrazones possessing an azomethine–NHN=CH- proton constitute important clas...
