BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES This study was designed to evaluate the activity of Quercus infectoria galls extract (QIFGE) on virulence factor production and inhibition of quorum sensing (QS) in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. MATERIALS AND METHODS Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of QIFGE against 5 strains of P. aeruginosa was determined. The extract at sub-MIC was used to determine biofilm format...

Dermatomycoses are the human’s oldest recognized and reported infections, which fastest growing infections of skin, hair, nails. These a global concern due to their ever-increasing prevalence about 25-27 %, high rate relapse/recurrence, resistance. The study was conducted in search safer more effective natural medicine. effect standard drug, Terbinafine cream as control is compared with test Un...

Field surveys in Zagros forests located in western Iran were done to study some aspects of biology and host range of Biscogniauxia mediterranea during 2014-2016. The ability of its conidia and ascospores to cause the disease was evaluated under greenhouse condition. Ascospore viability and development of anamorph and teleomorph were surveyed under different conditions. The pathogen host range w...

conclusions the results of our study, regarding the observed effects based on differences in concentrations, suggest that further and more comprehensive studies should be undertaken to determine the appropriate concentration for obtaining the effect of the extract of f. assa-foetida l. and q infectoria olivier on s. mutans and s. sanguis. results the aqueous and ethanolic extract of f. assa-foe...

different layers of acorn (quercus infectoria), hull, seed coat and seed kernel were analyzed for determination of chemical composition. the results of the preliminary analysis showed that acorn contained more than 65% carbohydrates, 8% lipid and 10% tannin among other constituents. the fatty acid composition of the seed oil was determined using thin layer chromatography and comparing with ...
