Determining the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration of Bacteriophages: Potential Advantages
The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) is the concentration at which an antibacterial agent experiences the complete inhibition of organism growth. Bacteriophages represent a rich and unique resource of anti-infectives to counter the growing world-wide problem of antibiotic resistance. In this study, we compared the host range of lytic bacteriophages and temperate phagesbelonging to various...
متن کاملMinimum Inhibitory Concentration of Peganum Harmala Extract Against Candida Species
Background and Aim: There are some rich sources of antifungals in medicinal herbs. They have general acceptance due to their low cost and insignificant side effects. The efficacy of Peganum harmala (P. harmala) extract against Candida species was investigated in this study. Materials and Methods: In this in vitro study, we used the maceration technique to obtain P. harmala aqueous and al...
متن کاملGradient Plate for Hicomb Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) Test
Abstract Background and objectives: "The comb antibiotic sensitivity test" is a quick, reliable and cost effective method to determine the susceptibility of bacteria to different antibiotics. The purpose of this study is to design a plate that is easy and quick to use, and enable to be interpreted easily without the need for measurement of the margins with a ruler. Material and Method...
متن کاملA self-loading microfluidic device for determining the minimum inhibitory concentration of antibiotics.
This article describes a portable microfluidic technology for determining the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of antibiotics against bacteria. The microfluidic platform consists of a set of chambers molded in poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) that are preloaded with antibiotic, dried, and reversibly sealed to a second layer of PDMS containing channels that connect the chambers. The assembled...
