> introduction: escherichia coli is one of the important pathogens in human with global importance. because of the necessity for identification and the use of novel antibacterial compounds against e. coli , in this present study we focused on the antibacterial effects of synthesized thiazole, imidazole and tetrahydropyridine derivatives on e. coli . methods : for evaluation of antibacterial eff...

results the chemical analysis of s. khuzestanica essential oil revealed the presence of carvacrol (94.1%) as its main component. the inhibition zone diameters of s. khuzestanica essential oil and carvacrol dose-dependently increased. the minimum inhibitory concentration (mic) values of s. khuzestanica essential oil and carvacrol were 0.14 ± 0.08 µl/ml and 0.09 ± 0.04 µl/ml, respectively. s. khu...

Background Many plants or herbs exhibit potent antimicrobial activity against various microorganisms. They have no side effects and presumably act against and modulate the factors that are crucial for microbial survival or their activity. Streptococcus mutans is a pioneer bacteria implicated in dental caries. This study aims to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of garlic bulbs, pudina leaves,...

Th antibacterial activity of metal oxide nanoparticles has received marked global attention as they can be specifically synthesized to exhibit significant toxicity to bacteria. The importance of their application as antibacterial agents is evident keeping in mind the limited range and effectiveness of antibiotics, on one hand, and the plethora of metal oxides, on the other, along with the prope...

Novel analogues of N-piperazinyl fluoroquinolones were prepared and evaluated against a panel of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, to study the effect of introducing bulky anthracene and phenanthrene moieties on the antibacterial effects of norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin and gatifloxacin. Although most of the novel synthesized compounds had lower antibacterial effects, some derivatives show...

background aeromonas hydrophila cause one of the most important diseases in fishes and lead to economic losses, and may be contaminated human beings. objectives the current research aimed to investigate the anti-bacterial activity shown by the extracts prepared from different parts of olea europea, myrtus communis, thymus vulgaris, rosmarinuis officinalis, and achillea falcata that grow in syri...

background zinc oxide nanoparticles (zno nps) are known as one of the important inorganic materials used in research and health-related applications with effective antibacterial activities. although the toxic effects of zno nps have already been evaluated, more information is required to understand the possible mechanisms. objectives the aim of the present study was to determine the influences ...

Although some evidence on the structural characteristics of in situ early PL-biofilm has been described, there are few studies on the antibacterial effects of agents on this microbial structure. A major application of advanced microbiological and/or microscopy techniques, in combination with CLSM, needs to be exploited in future research in order to increase knowledge of the global characterisa...
