Effect of azasteroids on gram-positive bacteria.
A group of nitrogen-containing steroids closely related in structure was screened for antibacterial activity, by use of Bacillus subtilis and Sarcina lutea as the test organisms. The most active compounds were cholesterol derivatives containing a tertiary or quaternary nitrogen in, or attached to, the A ring. Similar methyltestosterone or progesterone derivatives were inactive. All of the chole...
متن کاملEffect of antibacterial steroid alkaloids from three Lorestan medicinal plants on gram-negative/positive bacteria

متن کاملthe antimicrobial effect of lactoferrin on gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria
background lactoferrin is a multipurpose protein of the transferrin domestic. it is a spherical glycoprotein with a molecular weight of about 80 kda which is widely found in secretory discharges, such as milk, saliva, tear, and nasal secretions. lactoferrin is also found in secondary granules of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (pmn) and is released by some acinar cells. it also shows antibacterial...
متن کاملBacteriocins of gram-positive bacteria.
In recent years, a group of antibacterial proteins produced by gram-positive bacteria have attracted great interest in their potential use as food preservatives and as antibacterial agents to combat certain infections due to gram-positive pathogenic bacteria. They are ribosomally synthesized peptides of 30 to less than 60 amino acids, with a narrow to wide antibacterial spectrum against gram-po...
متن کاملHyaluronidases of Gram-positive bacteria.
Bacterial hyaluronidases, enzymes capable of breaking down hyaluronate, are produced by a number of pathogenic Gram-positive bacteria that initiate infections at the skin or mucosal surfaces. Since reports of the hyaluronidases first appeared, there have been numerous suggestions as to the role of the enzyme in the disease process. Unlike some of the other more well studied virulence factors, m...
