Study of the antimicrobial potentials of Allium cepa revealed that all the extracts from both fresh and old samples showed different ranges of antimicrobial activities. Ethyl acetate fraction showed inhibitory activities against all the 8 microbes tested including bacteria and a fungus. Chloroform followed by butanol fraction also inhibited the activity of all the microbes except Pseudomonas ae...

Streptomyces spp. (Lob18.2b), isolated from soil sample from Everest Base Camp, was obtained from Research Laboratory for Biotechnology and Biochemistry (RLABB). The isolate was found to inhibit Salmonella paratyphi, Salmonella typhi, Proteus mirabilis, Proteus vulgaris, Shigella sonnei, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Klebsiella oxytoca, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus on ...

A study was carried out to determine the pattern of microbiological organisms causing community acquired pneumonia in adult patients admitted to Penang Hospital between November 1999 and August 2000. Altogether, 98 patients (64 males, 34 females) with a mean age (+/- S.D.) of 55.9 (+/- 19.0) (range 15 to 87) years were included in the study. Causative organisms were identified in 42 patients (4...

Four Leaf Clover'or aalaik keerai in Tamil is in use for more than 3000 years as part of food. It is a pteridophytic plant that is marketed and used by tribals of Eastern India as a nerve relaxant and curative agent due to its nutritional value. In the present study M. quadrifolia leaf extracts have showed effective inhibition against gram negative bacteria such as Salmonella typhi, Pseudomonas...

Many marine sponges contain dense, highly diverse microbial communities. In the present study, totally eight associated bacterial strains were isolated from sponge namely Hyattella cribriformis. Isolated associated bacterial strains were tested for the antibacterial activity against human bacterial pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus, Vibrio cholerae, Salmonella paratyphi, Klebsiella pneumo...

BACKGROUND This study examined the susceptibility of Gram-negative bacteria in the bloodstream to antimicrobials with the aim of providing information relevant to the guidance of therapy. METHODOLOGY Blood specimens received by the Laboratory of Clinical Microbiology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia, from 2002 to 2008, were analyzed for the presence of Gram-negative bacteria and ...

Background : In this study the alcoholic extract of rosemary leaves was used to know their inhibition on growth some pathogenic bacteria Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhi, Klebsiella pneumonia and Proteus mirabilis in Muller agar using different concentrations extract( 200 mg/ml, 100 50 25 mg/ml). The mean zone were measured, most effective concentration following typhi...

The antibacterial effects of 24-h exposures to high-pressure oxygen in relation to environmental CO(2) were studied at 3 atm absolute (ata) and at 1 ata. Eight gram-negative, aerobic and facultatively aerobic, pathogenic enteric bacteria (Salmonella typhosa, Salmonella paratyphi, Salmonella schottmuelleri, Shigella dysenteriae, Shigella flexneri, Proteus vulgaris, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Es...

Typhoid fever is an acute infectious disease of the small intestine caused by bacterium Salmonella typhi. The prevalence typhoid in world 27 million cases per year and causes 200,000 deaths. In Indonesia, it estimated that incidence typhus 148.7 100,000 people year. Treatment using ciprofloxacin antibiotics still bacterial resistance so discovery herbal ingredients as alternative to drugs being...

Lyophilized aqueous extracts of sugarcane juice (SJ), vacuum pan jaggery (VJ), and open (OJ) were estimated for their Physico-chemical properties, phytochemical constituents, biological activity against certain clinical isolates. The results flavonoid tannin content indicated high significance in the mean values VJ sample whereas, phenol terpenoid was significantly higher OJ sample. For antioxi...
