molds are one of the most important causes of food spoilage that produce toxic substances called mycotoxins, which endanger the consumer health. the adverse effects of synthetic food preservatives consumption made researches to focus on application of natural preservatives in order to increase shelf life of food as well as prevention of harmful effects of chemical preservatives. the present stu...

plants are rich source of natural products used for centuries to cure various the plant-derived medicines are based upon the premise that they contain natural substances that can promote health and alleviate illness. silver nps represent material, which can be used as a potential antibacterial agent in medical applications and different commercial products due to its biological activity. recent...

The Series of 3-(Substitutedphenyl)-N-(4H-1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)acrylamide compounds were prepared byreaction of 4-amino-1,2,4-Triazole with Acetyl Chloride followed by Claisen-Schmidt Condensation reactionwith different aromatic aldehydes. The structures of new compounds were confirmed by IR, 1H-NMR and13C-NMR spectral data. Anti-bacterial and Anti-fungal activities were evaluated and compared wi...

in this study, penicillium digitatum, the causes of green mould disease of orange fruits, were isolated from infected fruit in bam city. antifungal activity of three different plant essential oils eucalyptus camaldulensis, zataria multiflora, myrtus communis at 50, 100, 150 and 200 ppm concentration, have been evaluated. mic (minimum inhibitory concentration) and growth inhibition zone diameter...

The present study was designed to examine the effects of Lactobacillus plantaraum and L. paracasei on the growth and aflatoxin-producing ability of Aspergillus parasiticus. In these experiments, direct and indirect interactions of two different probiotic lactobacilli with A. parasiticus was examined.A co-culture system which supported both fungal growth and probiotic bacteria showed the inhibit...

AIM This study was to evaluate in vitro anti-fungal activity of aqueous and hydroethanolic from medicinal plants extracts collected in Côte d'Ivoire. MATERIALS AND METHODS Plants extracts were prepared by homogenization and separately incorporated to Sabouraud agar using the agar slanted double dilution method. Ketoconazole was used as standards for anti-fungal assay. The anti-fungal tests we...

Bacterial and fungal infections in the use of surgical devices and medical implants remain a major concern. Traditional bioadhesives fail to incorporate anti-microbial properties, necessitating additional anti-microbial drug injection. Herein, by the introduction of the clinically used and inexpensive anti-fungal agent, 10-undecylenic acid (UA), into our recently developed injectable citrate-ba...
