The Efficacy of Boric Acid in Otomycosis: An in Vitro Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
OBJECTIVES: Topical antiseptics and antifungal agents are frequently used for the treatment of otomycosis. Topical use of boric acid solution in alcohol is also recommended, and some studies report its clinical efficacy. However, there are no studies in the English literature concerning the in vitro efficacy of boric acid salts on fungi isolated from the ears with otomycosis. In this study, we investigated the in vitro effectiveness of boric acid solutions in distilled water and in ethanol on Aspergillus species and Candida albicans that were isolated from the ears with otomycosis.

Effects of Boron and Cold Stress on Germination of Almond Pollen in Vitro Culture
This study was carried out in order to determine the effects of boron and cold stress on pollen germination of almond hybrids in vitro culture, two different media including the absence and presence of boron (0 mg/l, and 100 mg/l) in 10% sucrose and 1% agar medium at 24°C in dark conditions. The results showed that different treatments had a significant effect on the germination percentage. The...
متن کاملControl of Shoot Tip Necrosis and Plant Death during in Vitro Multiplication of Pistachio Rootstock UCB1 (Pistacia integrima × P. atlantica)
Pistachio is one of the most important nuts and its mass production using tissue culture techniques is of great importance. Micro-propagation has many complications. Contamination is one of the critical limitations in the establishment stage. This study focused on different NaClO and HgCl2 concentrations and exposure times. Shoot tip necrosis (STN) is one of the most common problems during larg...
متن کاملEffect of Pre-Treated Chemicals on Keeping Quality and Vase Life of Cut Rose (Rosa hybrida cv.‘ Yellow Island’)
Nanosilver of nanometer-sized silver (Ag+) particles (2-5 nm diam) are used in various applications as an anti-microbial. Boric acid (H3BO3) is water soluble (pH=7). Boric acid is ethylene synthese inhibitor and reduce ethylene production through reducing the ACC synthase and ACC oxidase delays senescence of flower. In this study of different concentrations of boric acid and nano-silver was eva...
