objectives: oral infections and dental caries are still considered as serious public health problems and inflict a costly burden to health care services around the world and especially in developing countries. materials and methods: in the present study, we evaluated the antibacterial activity of glycyrrhiza glabra (g. glabra) against oral pathogens by diffusion methods and determined the minim...

objectives in the present study, we evaluated the antibacterial activity of capsella bursa-pastoris alone and also combined with glycyrrhiza glabra against streptococcus mutans, s. sanguis, actinomyces viscosus, enterococcus faecalis as oral pathogens. conclusions c. bursa-pastoris and its mixture with g. glabra are suggested as appropriate candidates to control dental caries and endodontic inf...

Borrelia burgdorferi causes Lyme disease, a potentially debilitating human disease for which no vaccine is currently available. We developed an oral bait delivery system for an anti-B. burgdorferi vaccine based in OspA. Mice were immunized orally via gavage and bait feeding. Challenge was performed via Ixodes scapularis field nymphs carrying multiple B. burgdorferi strains. Vaccination protecte...
