Antioxidant Activities of Cuminum cyminum Extracts and Their Antibacterial Effects against Some Dental Caries Pathogens

detection of volatile compounds of medicinal plants with some nano-sorbents using modified or new methodologies and investigation of antioxidant activity of their methanolic extracts

in this work, a novel and fast method for direct analysis of volatile compounds (davc) of medicinal plants has been developed by holding a filament from different parts of a plant in the gc injection port. the extraction and analysis of volatile components of a small amount of plant were carried out in one-step without any sample preparation. after optimization of temperature, extraction time a...

Antibacterial Activities and Antibacterial Mechanism of Polygonum cuspidatum Extracts against Nosocomial Drug-Resistant Pathogens.

Recently, drug resistance due to the extensive abuse and over-use of antibiotics has become an increasingly serious problem, making the development of alternative antibiotics a very urgent issue. In this study, the Chinese herbal medicine, Polygonum cuspidatum, was extracted with 95% ethanol and the crude extracts were further purified by partition based on solvent polarity. The antimicrobial a...

Control of Some Human Pathogenic Bacteria by Seed Extracts of Cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.)

Antibacterial activity of seed extracts of cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.) was investigated against 10 gram positive and gram negative bacteria. Disc diff usion method was used to test antibacterial activity. Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) were determined by using standard procedures. Th e highest (eff ective) inhibition zone of 16.67±0.47 mm was ...

Antibacterial Effect of Hydroalcoholic Extracts of Herbal plants Against Some hospital-acquired infection causing Pathogens

Antimicrobial Activity of Cyminum cuminum Against Biofilm E. coli

Uropathogenic organisms have evolved numerous defense mechanisms against antimicrobial agents, hence resistance to old and newly available drugs are increasing at an unprecedented level. The events of antibiotic resistance have lead for screening of several medicinal plants for their potential antimicrobial activity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial efficacy of Cyminumcum...
