Bacteriostatic Property of Aloe Vera

Freeze-dried juice obtained from Aloe vera and heated for 15 minutes at 80 degrees inhibited several test microorganisms. Species of Aloe have had a long history as drug plants. This was pointed out by Morton (1) in a recent comprehensive review of Aloe from the standpoint of folk use and commercial exploitation. Fly and Kiem (2) recently carried out an investigation to ascertain whether Aloe v...

Bactericidal versus Bacteriostatic Antibiotic Therapy

/Ag/ml; strain2-MIC 1 ,g/ml, MBC 2 ,g/ml. Animals were treated with either ampicillin or chloramphenicol in dosages that achieved a peak bactericidal effect in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for ampicillin against both strains. Two different dosages were used for chloramphenicol. The first dosage achieved a peak CSF concentration of 4.4±1.1 gg/ml that produced a bacteriostatic effect against strainI...

Bacteriostatic activity of serum against staphylococci.

Cybulska, Janina (State Institute of Hygiene, Warsaw, Poland), and J. Jeljaszewicz. Bacteriostatic activity of serum against staphylococci. J. Bacteriol. 91:953-962. 1966.-Antistaphylococcal activity of normal serum against strains exhibiting various patterns of coagulase, clumping-factor, and staphylokinase production is not connected with the presence of these factors. Purified coagulase does...

Tube Determination of Serum Bacteriostatic Activity

SYNOPSIS The growth of 100 staphylococcal strains in normal rabbit serum was studied. Determinations were carried out by the tube method previously described and by a new plate method, and the results agreed in both cases. The strains of staphylococci used differed in the production of bound coagulase, clumping factor, and staphylokinase, and exhibited different phage patterns. Their multiplica...
