During the last two decades, various medicinal plants have been studied for their possible antimicrobial activity to discover new antimicrobial agents capable of resolving problems such as the development of drug resistance in pathogenic microorganisms as well as the side effects of some present antibiotics. In this study, the antibacterial activity of methanolic extract of T. pubescens (rich i...

The present study aims to investigate the in vitro antibacterial activities of several isophosphinoline-2-oxides that can be perceived as combined bio isosteres coumarins and flavonoids. More specifically, activity was evaluated against four bacterial strains, including Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli Pseudomonas aeruginosa Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus Enterococcus faecalis by us...

INTRODUCTION Chronic dacryocystitis results in chronic infection and inflammation of the lacrimal sac. OBJECTIVE To identify the aetiology of chronic dacryocystitis and to determine their antimicrobial susceptibility pattern. MATERIALS AND METHODS A cross - sectional study was undertaken including 120 lacrimal swab materials collected from patients aged above 15 years suffering from chronic...

background trachyspermum ammi or carum copticum, commonly known as ajowan or ajwain is a plant used as a spice. thymol, the major phenolic compound present in ajowan is known as a strong germicide and anti-spasmodic. it is also used for cleaning the wounds and treating skin infections. objectives here, we aimed to study the inhibitory effects of ajowan essential oil on microorganisms like esche...

Ceftobiprole exhibited tight binding to PBP2a in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, PBP2x in penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae, and PBP3 and other essential penicillin-binding proteins in methicillin-susceptible S. aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Ceftobiprole also bound well to PBP2 in the latter organisms, contributing to the broad-spectrum antibacte...

The production of extracellular vesicles is a ubiquitous process in both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Gram-negative bacteria produce and secrete outer membrane vesicles during in vitro culture and in vivo infection and their contribution to bacterial pathogenesis has been well characterized. However, little is known about extracellular vesicles in Gram-positive bacteria. Until now,...

conclusions preliminary results indicate that the native iranian actinobacteria could be considered a suitable option for screening of the new antibacterial compounds. molecular research and antibacterial compound extraction against the aforementioned pathogenic strains are also being conducted. results based on the morphological characterization, 35 isolated cases belonged to actinomycetes and...

in this study,the effect of ozonated water(0.2, 0.5, and 1 ppm) with different exposure times (5,10, and 15 min) for control of staphylococcus aureus , escherichia coli and total counts in poultry carcass, on chiller water in slaughter house were investigated. for this purpose, control samples passed chiller water(without ozone) for (5,10, and 15 min) .other examples also treated (5, 10 , and 1...

The methanol extract of wax gourd, the fruits of Benincasa hispida cogn.(Cucurbitaceae) was found to show no inhibition against three gram positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Bacillus subtilis and three gram negative bacteria Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumonia by cup-plate method whereas antifungal studies showed significant in...
