abstract aims: bovine mastitis continues to be the most costly disease to the dairy farmers. it dominates in iran as one of the most prevalent diseases in dairy cattle among the dairy farms. mastitis treatment with antibiotics leads to the development of antibiotic resistant strains and consumer health problem. this study was performed for the first time to analyze in vitro effects of hydro-alc...

abstract         background and objective: one of the main tasks of clinical microbiology laboratories is to determine antibiotic resistance profiles in common pathogens and ensure the selection of effective antibiotics for certain infections. the aim of this study was to compare the methods of disk diffusion, broth microdilution and modified hodge test in escherichia coli isolates from urinary...

conclusions increasing the cu nanoparticles in bioactive glass samples leads to the release of cu2+, which has a positive effect on the antibacterial mechanism, as well as decreasing the cultured staphylococcus colonies found on the bioglasses. therefore, it seems that the nanocomposite/bioglass of cuo is a promising option for aerobic bacterial inhibitor systems in common bone implant infectio...

abstract background and aim: oral infections and dental caries are considered as two serious public health problems, which inflict a costly burden on health care services worldwide, especially in the developing countries. the aim of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial activity of iranian licorice aqueous root extract on lactobacillus acidophilus in comparison with chlorhexidine. materi...

conclusions the presence of bft gene in b. fragilis isolates wouldnot certainly result in diarrheaamong patients. there is not enough accordance between ddm and swedish e tests for antimicrobial susceptibility of b. fragilis for some antibiotics, although in other cases a good agreement was observed. background enterotoxigenic bacteroides fragilis (etbf) are one of the most important anaerobic ...

background and objective: pseudomonas aeruginosa has become a frequent cause of nosocomial infections, particularly in intensive care units (icus). many reports have documented high rates of resistance in this species to commonly-used broad-spectrum antibiotics. the aim of this study was to assess the in vitro activity of some antibiotics against pseudomonas aeruginosa strains to determine the ...

objective: many species of plants present noticeable potency against human bacterial and fungal pathogens. materials and methods: in the current study, antimicrobial activity of the fresh fruits of 4 cultivars (a to d) of malus domestica cultivated in the qamsar area of kashan, iranwas investigated. the disk diffusion and minimal inhibitory concentration (mic) evaluation antimicrobial activity ...

  Background and Objective: Reliable methods of detection of antimicrobial resistance are of paramount importance in the treatment and management of infections caused by coagulase negative staphylococci (CoNS). The objective of the present study was to compare and evaluate the performance of disc diffusion and E test (Epsilometer test) methods for antimicrobial testing of coagulase ne...

Antibacterial activity of dressings containing antimicrobials is mostly evaluated using in vitro tests. However, the various methods available differ significantly in their properties and results obtained are influenced by the method selected, micro-organisms used, and extraction method, the degree of solubility or the diffusability of the test-compounds. Here, results on antimicrobial activity...
