Antimicrobial activity of cathelicidin peptides and defensin against oral yeast and bacteria
Fungal resistance to traditional drugs calls for new antimicrobial agents. In mammals, defensins and cathelicidins are two major families of antimicrobial peptides. Cathelicidins are cationic peptides with a conserved N-terminal cathelin-like domain and a variable C-terminal antimicrobial domain. Cathelicidins rapidly kill Candida and other yeast spp.1 Candida infection with C albicans is the f...
متن کاملIn vitro activity of cefotetan compared with that of other antimicrobial agents against anaerobic bacteria.
The activity of cefotetan against 430 strains of anaerobic bacteria was compared with that of cefoxitin, ceftizoxime, clindamycin, metronidazole, and chloramphenicol. Percent susceptible values for the Bacteroides fragilis group were 60, 80, 29, 86, 100, and 100%, respectively. Percent susceptible values for the B. fragilis species were 91, 92, 46, 98, 100, and 100%, respectively. Non-B. fragil...
متن کاملAntimicrobial Activity of Combined Extracts of Trachyspermum, Thymus and Pistachio against Some Pathogenic Bacteria
Background: Microbial biofilms are responsible for many human infections and increase of antibiotic resistant bacteria. Therefore, finding an efficient way to prevent infection and biofilm formation of bacteria is essential. Medicinal plants are among suitable candidates to inhibit biofilm formation of bacteria. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial effects of...
متن کاملActivity of BAL30072 alone or combined with β-lactamase inhibitors or with meropenem against carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae and non-fermenters.
OBJECTIVES We investigated the activity of BAL30072, a dihydroxypyridone monosulfactam, against carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae and non-fermenters (i) alone, (ii) combined with BAL29880 (to inhibit AmpC) and/or clavulanate [to inhibit extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBLs)] and (iii) combined 1:1 with meropenem. METHODS Isolates were from multiple UK hospitals. MICs were determined by...
متن کاملAntimicrobial Activity of Antrodia camphorata Extracts against Oral Bacteria
Antrodia camphorata (A. camphorata) is a unique, endemic and extremely rare mushroom species native to Taiwan, and both crude extracts of and purified chemical compounds from A. camphorata have been reported to have a variety of significant beneficial effects, such as anti-tumor and anti-inflammatory activity. However, reports on the effects of A. camphorata against dental pathogens have been l...
