it is possible to develop new biodegradable active packaging by coating biopolymers on paper-based packaging material and also incorporating proper antimicrobial agents into coating structure. in this study bacterial contamination of two commercial cardboard were evaluated.in order to manufacture an appropriate antibacterial packaging material, coating of chitosan-poly vinyl alcohol blends with...

The present study investigated the effect of sumac (SWE) and Rosemary water extracts (RWE) on microbial growth in ground beef meat during refrigerated storage. The meat samples were explored for changes in TVC, E.coli (0157:H7) and S.aureus populations. Antimicrobial effectiveness of extracts was more pronounced against Gram-positive strain compared with Gram-negative strain. Antimicrobial impa...

There has been special interest in the chemistry of quinolone and pyrimidine derivatives due to their diverse biological activities such as anticonvulsant, anti-malarial agents, antibacterial, antiviral, cytostatic, antithelemintic, antigenotoxic, anti-cancer agents. These compounds are also used as targeting delayed-type hypersensivity and anti-convulsant agents. As a part of our research work...

  Objective(s):   The ongoing increasing antibiotic resistance is one of the biggest challenges faced by global public health. The perennial need for new antimicrobials against a background of increasing antibiotic resistance in pathogenic and opportunistic microorganisms obliges the scientific community to constantly develop new drugs and antimicrobial agents. Lichens are known pro...

Introduction: Some plants show antimicrobial activity against wide range of microorganism. The aim of this study was to investigate the antimicrobial activity and stability of Zataria multiflora Boiss and Satureja khuzestanica essential oil (EO). Materials and methods: First, these plants (Zataria multiflora Boiss and Satureja khuzestanica) were collected, verified by a botanist, dried, and gr...

plants are potent biochemists; biologically active compounds present in the medicinal plants have always been ofgreat interest to scientists working in this field. thus, the aim of the current study was to screen the antimicrobial activity of acacia nilotica, ziziphus mauritiana, bauhinia variegate and lantana camara against some selected clinical isolated strains. although previous studies hav...

The increasing global public health concern of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) necessitates exploration of natural antimicrobial agents as potential alternatives. This study aims to investigate antimicrobial activities of Saharan actinomycetes, with specific focus on the strain Streptomyces fimbriatus AC31, that holds promising potential as an alternative to combat AMR. In this context, 32 actin...

Background: Infectious diarrhoea is an emergent problem in both developing and developed countries for high rates of mortality in infants. In recent years, drug resistance to microbial pathogens has been commonly reported from all over the world. Medicinal plants represent a rich source of antimicrobial agents. Plants are used medicinally in different countries especially in India and are a sou...
