Accelerated healing by topical administration of Salvia officinalis essential oil on Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus infected wound model

Wound healing activity of Origanum vulgare against surgical wounds infected by Staphylococcus aureus in a rat model

Background: Wound infection has become a major medical problem in recent years. This is usually caused by Gram-positive bacteria, especially Staphylococcus aureus. Since antimicrobial resistance to current drugs has critically been developed in these causative microorganisms, substitution medicine has become one of the main interests within  researchers. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to...

Inhibitory effects of ozonated grape seed oil on Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa

The antibacterial activity of the water extracts of three species of Salvia on Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa

The aim of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial activity of the water extracts of three species of Salvia (S. perspolitana, S. palaestina, S. bracteata) on Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeroginosa. The antibacterial activity of water extracts of the studied species on the bacterial strains was examined using well diffusion method and minimum inhibitory concentr...

The Healing Effect of Licorice on Pseudomonas aeruginosa Infected Burn Wounds in Experimental Rat Model

BACKGROUND Burn is still one of the most devastating injuries in emergency medicine while improvements in wound healing knowledge and technology have resulted into development of new dressings. This study was undertaken to evaluate the healing effect of licorice in Pseudomonas aeruginosa infected burn wounds of experimental rat model. METHODS One hundred and twenty female Sprague-Dawley rats...

IL-33 promotes Staphylococcus aureus-infected wound healing in mice.

Interleukin (IL)-33, a newly identified member of IL-1 family of cytokines, plays a crucial role in polarizing Th2-associated immune responses. Recently growing evidence indicates that IL-33 also represents an important mediator of mucosal healing and epithelial restoration. In this study, we investigated the effect of IL-33 on antimicrobial infection and wound healing using a Staphylococcus au...
