Zinc sulfide (ZnS) & zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles was evaluated for their antimicrobial activity against four pathogenic strains. ZnS&ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized by simple aqueous chemical reaction in an aqueous solution. The main advantage of these nanoparticles (size of 10-30 nm) was that simply could be prepared by using cheap precursors in a cost effective and high throughput manne...

Dry socket is considered as the most common complication following tooth extraction. It mainly manifested by severe irradiating pain that starts 2 to 4 days after dental extraction with a denuded socket. Although many risk factors are associated it, no clear and direct cause has been described explain its etiopathogenesis. Here, we suggest new pathogenesis management of dry Socket based on micr...

Abstract Plasma based treatments are found to be effective in water cleansing. For this purpose, we employed a plasma jet that is extracted at the exit of flexible plastic tube remotely from its main source. This generated using gas mixture argon and oxygen for sake producing reactive species solution when submerged safely under perform treatment suspension volume. The treated samples consist d...

Increase in biological data at an alarming rate, has made possible the use of such data in identification of drug targets. Ureaplasma urealyticum serovar 10 str. ATCC 33699 is a causative agent for sexually transmitted infections. In present study novel comparative genomic approach is used to identify the drug targets. This approach has been successfully used in Pseudomonas aeroginosa. In curre...

Introduction: Tracheostomy is a life saving emergency procedure and provides many benefits for long term ventilator dependent patients. However, colonization and infection of airways after tracheostomy is one of the serious complications increasing patient morbidity and mortality. Objective: To find out the colonizing agent in the trachea of tracheostomized patients and the type and frequency o...

Methanolic extract of Hairs and Glands covering fruits of Mallotus philippinensis (kamala powder) were subjected to Antimicrobial and toxicological screening. Antimicrobial profile indicated that extract was effective against all Gram positive cocci and bacilli used in the study. Among Gram negative bacilli, three important pathogenic species i.e. Salmonella typhi, Salmonella para typhiA and Ps...

The antimicrobial activity of plant extracts were found in folk medicine as essential oils or isolated compounds. Some of these compounds were isolated or obtained by bio-guided isolation after previously detecting antimicrobial activity on the part of the plant. Petunia is an imporant medicinal and ornamental plant.The in vitro callus induction and antibacterial activity of Petunia leaf and ca...

OBJECTIVE Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most important causes of nosocomial infections and can acquire resistant to many antimicrobials, including β-lactams. The aim of this study was to detect the prevalence of SHV type extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL), antimicrobial resistance patterns of the P. aeroginusa and risk factors in hospitalized patients in two teaching hospitals in Sa...

Nigella sativa seeds (blackseed; kalonji) have been used in traditional medicine for the treatment of a variety of diseases including diarrhea and asthma. In this study, the antibacterial and antifungal effects of the aqueous, methanol and chloroform extracts of the seeds against standard and hospital strains of Candida albicans, coagulase-positive Staphylococcus aureus (CPSA) and Pseudomonas a...
