Nowadays, consumers are highly worried about using chemical preservatives in foods. Thus they tend to use natural and safe food products with healthful benefits. Pomegranate and its peel can have such a role. This study aimed to determine the antioxidant activity, Total Phenolics, and Flavonoids Properties of Different Parts of Pomegranate extracts. Three types of extracts were prepared with di...

ABSTRACT: This study examines the antibacterial effects of Arum conophalloides on S. typhimurium bacteria at different temperatures (–18°, 8°, 16°, 24°, and 32°C) and time intervals (1, 2, 3, 6, 12, 24, and 48 days). This local plant was studied to determine the greatest effect caused by the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) as well as the a...

Among 265 methicillin-susceptible and -resistant staphylococci, CB-181963 (CAB-175) had a 50% minimum inhibitory concentration of 2 microg/ml and a 90% minimum inhibitory concentration of 4 microg/ml. All strains except two vancomycin-resistant S. aureus and 5 vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus strains were also susceptible to vancomycin and teicoplanin, and all were susceptible to linezolid, ra...

Antimicrobial properties of phytochemicals extracted from onion (Allium cepa) and ginger (Zingiber officinale) were evaluated against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, two common food borne pathogens. They were tested using minimum inhibitory concentration, minimum bactericidal concentration disc diffusion and agar wells diffusion. Onion showed good antimicrobial properties against S....
