Hairy root induction in plants has affected by many factors including type, age of explant and bacterial strain. In the present study, the effects of bacterial strains (A4, C58, 15834 and GM), two concentrations (OD600= 0.5 and 1) and two explants (leaves and stems) in hairy root induction of C. blumei</...

background: escherichia coli o157:h7 is a gram-negative and facultative anaerobic food-borne bacterial pathogen. the major purpose of this study was to evaluate physicochemical characteristics of nanoliposome garlic essential oil (eo) and its antibacterial effect on e. coli o157:h7. methods: nanoliposome garlic eo was prepared by ethanol injection method and its physicochemical properties were ...

background: in this study, the efficacy of nitazoxanide in the treatment of helicobacter pylori isolates, which were resistant to metronidazole, was examined.   methods: one hundred twenty two patients who underwent endoscopy examinations at kasra and laleh hospitals in tehran from november 2014 to july 2015 were enrolled. helicobacter pylori strains were isolated from the patients’ endoscopy b...

emergence of resistance among pathogenic bacteria against available antibiotics is posing a great challenge to the current world. thus, there is a great need to discover novel antibiotics. traditional plants have been proved to be novel source in the search of antimicrobial compounds. the current study pertained to the susceptibilities of some clinically significant bacterial species to various...

results of total 60 s. aureus isolates, 51 (85%) were mrsa, and of 60 cons, 7 (11.66%) were mrcons. the results showed that the mic of chlorhexidine for all 120 isolates was 1-16 μg/ml. 15 (12.5%) isolates carried qaca/b gene, 26 (21.7%) carried qacc gene, and 38 (31.7%) carried smr gene. conclusions maintenance of mrsa isolates in the attendance of low amounts of antiseptics could result in th...
