Abstract:

Objective: Teucrium polium L. (family Lamiaceae) is a wild-growing flowering plant, found abundantly in South-Western Asia, Europe and North Africa. Traditionally, T. polium has been used for different pathological conditions such as gastrointestinal disorders, inflammations, diabetes and rheumatism. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial effect of ethanol extract of Teucrium polium  against Salmonella typhimurium isolates from poultry is resistant to penicillin. Methods: Teucrium polium extract using vacuum from the center (Rotary) were 12 strains of Salmonella typhimurium was isolated from poultry in the city of Zabol. Minimum inhibitory concentrations of MBC Teucrium polium extract in different concentrations by dilution in the wells was determined on bacteria. Susceptibility to several antibiotics by Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion standard were evaluated. Results: The result of herbal extraction showed the most MIC (the minimum  inhibitory concentration) was 10mg/ml concentration that 2 strains of them were inhibited by this concentration Teucrium polium. The lowest MIC was 2/5 ppm concentration that two strain of Salmonella were inhibited. Although the clinical relevance of extracts and essential oils because of fewer side effects than other current treatments for common antibiotics, it seems valuable, but more research to clinical application of the mechanism of action of ethanol extract and purified effective composition of this plant is on microbial agents.

Teucrium polium: Liver and kidney effects

| May 2014 | 478 plants have been shown to produce oxidative stress and toxicity.[15-17] This toxicity inclines to be more common among certain patients and in specifi c clinical conditions. Thus, knowledge about successful prevention or amelioration of a medicinal drug requires information about pathogenic mechanisms of kidney damage and related risk factors.[1,8,18,19] In this regard, to be e...

Curcumin reduces the antimicrobial activity of ciprofloxacin against Salmonella typhimurium and Salmonella typhi.

OBJECTIVES Typhoidal and non-typhoidal infection by Salmonella is a serious threat to human health. Ciprofloxacin is the last drug of choice to clear the infection. Ciprofloxacin, a gyrase inhibitor, kills bacteria by inducing chromosome fragmentation, SOS response and reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the bacterial cell. Curcumin, an active ingredient from turmeric, is a major dietary molecule ...

Anticonvulsant Activity of Teucrium polium Against Seizure Induced by PTZ and MES in Mice

Teucrium polium (Labiatae) is a plant that widely grows in Iran. Some of species of Teucrium are used for a considerable range of actions in traditional medicine and T. polium has frequently been used as anticonvulsant. In this study, we investigated the protective effects of T. polium ethanolic aqueous extracts and related fractions on seizures induced by pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) and maximal e...
