background and objectives: despite the vast production of new antibiotics in the last three decades, resistance to these drugs by microorganisms has increased and essential oils (eos) have been recognized to possess antimicrobial properties. methods:  in the present study, eos obtained from aerial parts of thymus vulgaris l., lavandula angustifolia mill., rosmarinus officinalis l. and mentha pi...

Background and objectives: Despite the vast production of new antibiotics in the last three decades, resistance to these drugs by microorganisms has increased and essential oils (EOs) have been recognized to possess antimicrobial properties. Methods:  In the present study, EOs obtained from aerial parts of Thymus vulgaris L., Lavandula angustifolia Mill., Rosmarinus offici...

Plaunotol, a cytoprotective anti-ulcer agent, has antibacterial activity against Helicobacter pylori. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of plaunotol when combined with clarithromycin or amoxicillin against H. pylori. When combined with clarithromycin, plaunotol showed synergic activity against 11 of 14 strains, and additive activity against the other three strains, ...

The activity of trimethoprim (TMP) and sulphamethoxazole (SMX), alone and in combination, against a sensitive strain of Escherichia coli was investigated in turbidimetric systems. In a static system in which the conditions of exposure of bacteria to drug resembled those of conventional minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) titrations, both TMP and SMX exhibited antibacterial activity at concen...

In the present study, the antibacterial and DPPH radical scavenging activities of the leaf extracts and leaf essential oil of Syzygium cumini Linn were investigated. The antibacterial potential of the leaf essential oil, petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate and methanol extracts of the leaves of Syzygium cumini Linn were studied against human pathogenic bacteria viz. Bacillus cereus, Ente...

abstract: in a wide search program towards new and efficient antimicrobial agents, a series of 4-substituted-1,2,4-triazolidine-3,5-dione derivatives namely urazoles holding an alkyl moiety at position 4 have been synthesized and tested for their in vitro antibacterial and antifungal activities. the structures of these compounds have been investigated by spectral data. the synthesized compounds...

The antimicrobial activity of the disinfectant formulation UMONIUM38 (Isopropyl-tridecyl-dimethyl-ammonium; Huckert's International, Nivelles, Belgium) planned for the low temperature disinfection of critical and semi-critical medical equipment and surfaces was evaluated under clean and dirty experimental conditions (high and low concentrations of organic material). The formulation was obtained...

the introduction of newly devised wound dressing has been a major breakthrough in the management of wounds or infections. the aims of this paper are to isolate and identify bacterial species causing burn wound infections from a university-related iranian hospital as well as determination of the antimicrobial susceptibility of the isolated microorganisms to newly devised nanocomposite materials ...
