conclusions the kin gingival chlorhexidine mouthwash has a greater effect than behsa and boht mouthwashes on oral microorganisms and is recommended to be used for plaque chemical inhibition. results the mics for kin gingival, behsa and boht mouthwashes were 0.14, 0.48 and 1000 micrograms/ml using the tube method for s. mutans, respectively. the mbcs for the mentioned mouthwashes were 0.23, 1.9 ...

results based on these findings on agar diffusion with (p = 0.764), mic and mfc tests (p = 0.879), there were no significant differences between the antifungal effect of herbal and chemical mouthwashes. conclusions this study showed that, chemical mouthwashes acted better than herbal mouthwashes and among different chemical mouthwashes, oral b was most effective. objectives the aim of the curre...

background and objectives: resistance towards reveling antibiotics has captured great interest in evaluating the antimicrobial properties of the natural plants. taraxacum mongolicum is widely used as a folklore medicinal plant for its diuretic, antirheumatic and anti-inflammatory properties. though there are some reports on antimicrobial properties of taraxacum mongolicum, studies on antibacter...

conclusions our experimental and in silico findings may provide new insight in the complex molecular pathways of drug resistance and also could assist design an efficient therapeutic strategy for aspergillosis treatment. results four out of five isolates revealed cyp51a and mdr1 mrna overexpression. interestingly, the isolate, which was negative for cyp51a and mdr1 mrna expression showed a high...

background and purpose: candidiasis, an important fungal infection, is considered the fourth most common nosocomial blood stream infection. nowadays, because of increased fungal resistance to antibiotics, the use of herbal medicine has gained particular attention. cyclamen species are medicinal plants containing triterpenoid saponins, which are shown to have antimicrobial properties. materials ...

recently, the effects of antimicrobial activity of silver nanoparticles was considered by researcher because of bacterial resistance to antimicrobial agents in chemical.the aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of the gold nanoparticles on escherichia coli. gold nanoparticles are chemically synthesized. standard strain of e. coli was cultured in a nutrient broth. minimum ...

introduction: in this study, the chemical composition and antimicrobial activity of essential oil of ziziphora clinopodiodes and its potential application as a natural preservative in reducing the indigenous microbial population of hamburger were investigated. method: essential oil of ziziphora clinopodiodes cultivated in iran was obtained by hydro-distillation method (hdm). chemical compositio...

abstract       background and objective: due to the continuous increase of multidrug-resistant acinetobacter baumannii strains around the world, decision making for an effective treatment of infections caused by this organism depends on the results of antimicrobial susceptibility tests. in this study, the validity of disk diffusion and e-test methods was assessed by their comparison with the re...

the infections risk related to pathogenic germs increases at the present time considering the increased resistance which certain microbes acquire, whose usual antibiotics are ineffective to treat the infectious disease. the aim of this study was to determine antimicrobial effect of the aqueous and ethanolic extracts of lavandula stoechas l. and rosmarinus officinalis l. on listeria monocytogene...

abstract       background and objective: enterococci are relatively nonvirulent bacteria that rarely cause disease. antimicrobial treatment of enterococci is often challenging due to their antibiotic resistance. this study aimed to investigate the antibacterial activity of aqueous extract of garlic against enterococcal isolates.     methods: in this descriptive study, 120 enterococcus isolates ...
