The aim of this study was to determine the antibacterial activity Cathormion umbellatum extracts against seven antibiotic-resistant bacteria. pods, leaves and branches C. were extracted with ethanol methanol. disc diffusion assay used screen broth microdilution colorimetric measure minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) bactericidal (MBC) values. result indicated that highest inhibition zone (1...

According to biologically active compounds and traditional use of the Satureja bachtiarica, seem that this plant has significant antimicrobial effects. In this study antimicrobial effect of extracts evaluated by two methods, “Collins method” and “disk agar diffusion method” on Escherichia coli PTCC 1330 and Staphylococcus aureus PTCC 1337 microorganisms. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MI...

OBJECTIVES This study was aimed to find out the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of five essential oils against oral pathogens and to find out the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) and minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) of five essential oils against oral pathogens. MATERIALS AND METHODS The antimicrobial activities by detecting MIC and MBC/MFC of five essential oils such as ...

Pet turtles are well-known to harbor an array of bacterial pathogens which can cause zoonotic infections in humans as well as opportunistic infections in the turtles itself. Essential oils are the natural plant extracts which have been traditionally used for disease treatment. In the present study, the essential oil of lavender (EOL) was examined for its antibacterial activity against thirty-ei...

Antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities of the essential oils of 18 plant species from Tajikistan (Central Asia) were investigated. The essential oil of Origanum tyttanthum showed a strong antibacterial activity with both minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) values of 312.5 µg/mL for E. coli, 625 µg/mL (MIC) and 1250 µg/mL (MBC...

Substituted salicylaldehydes are potent antibacterial and antifungal agents and may have chemotherapeutic potential. In the clinical setting, the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) as well as the minimal bactericidal and fungicidal concentrations (MBC and MFC, respectively) are of fundamental interest. Therefore, we have now, using a panel of five microbial species (Bacillus cereus, Candida...

Introduction: Streptococcus sanguinis is a facultative anaerobic Gram-positive bacteria known as pioneer that plays role in creating the biofilm oral cavity. Strawberry fruit (Fragaria x ananassa) an edible widely used for study their active compound synergy to improve health. This aims analyse antibacterial activity of strawberry against S. (ATCC 10556). Methods: An explorative was conducted w...

We report the antimicrobial activity of formylchromones. These compounds are remote structural analogues of nalidixic acid and quinolone antibiotics, and their activity was investigated by a simple micro-scale method designed for the determination of minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of drug candidates and antibiotics against aerobic bacteria and yeasts. Minimal bactericidal and fungicida...

The antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of the extracts from peel, leaves, and bark of mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L.), and some essential oils such as cinnamon and citrus were investigated. The antioxidant activities (IC50) of peel, leaves, and bark extracted, which were evaluated by DPPH method, were 5.94, 9.44, and 6.46 μg/ml, respectively. Either cinnamon or citrus essential oil sh...

This study aimed to evaluate the activity of essential oils (EOs) against Streptococcus mutans biofilm by chemically characterizing their fractions responsible for biological and antiproliferative activity. Twenty EO were obtained by hydrodistillation and submitted to the antimicrobial assay (minimum inhibitory (MIC) and bactericidal (MBC) concentrations) against S. mutans UA159. Thin-layer chr...
