Antimicrobial Activity of Garlic Extract Against Shigella
Some beliefs suggest that garlic is an excellent natural antimicrobial drug that can be considered as an alternative form of treatment or prophylaxis in gastrointestinal infections. The purpose of this study is to determine quantitative antimicrobial activity of garlic against Shigella by detecting the MIC. Garlic extracts were obtained and dilution susceptibility assay was used to determine th...
متن کاملActivities of garlic oil, garlic powder, and their diallyl constituents against Helicobacter pylori.
Chronic Helicobacter pylori disease is reduced with Allium vegetable intake. This study was designed to assess the in vivo anti-H. pylori potential of a variety of garlic substances. The garlic materials all showed substantial but widely differing anti-H. pylori effects against all strains and isolates tested. The MICs (range, 8 to 32 microg/ml) and minimum bactericidal concentrations (MBCs) (r...
متن کاملBactericidal activity of levofloxacin, gatifloxacin, penicillin, meropenem and rokitamycin against Bacillus anthracis clinical isolates.
This study aimed to evaluate the bactericidal rates of levofloxacin, gatifloxacin, penicillin, meropenem and rokitamycin against seven isolates of Bacillus anthracis clinically isolated between 1960 and 1970. After determination of MIC and MBC, time-kill experiments were carried out. Antimicrobial activity was evaluated at concentrations equal to 1 x, 2 x, 4 x and 8 x MIC after 0, 3, 6, 12 and ...
متن کاملCommon Garlic (Allium sativum) has Potent Anti-Bacillus anthracis Activity among Various Commonly Used Spices and Herbs
Anthrax remains an important but relatively neglected disease of animals and humans. Its control in animals can be easily achieved by employing available vaccines. It is highly preventable in animals as well as humans. However, poverty, lack of information and appropriate medical support in the poor endemic areas of the world are some of the major obstacles in its control. We hypothesize that s...
متن کاملHuman transferrin confers serum resistance against Bacillus anthracis.
The innate immune system in humans consists of both cellular and humoral components that collaborate to eradicate invading bacteria from the body. Here, we discover that the gram-positive bacterium Bacillus anthracis, the causative agent of anthrax, does not grow in human serum. Fractionation of serum by gel filtration chromatography led to the identification of human transferrin as the inhibit...
