the in vitro antimicrobial activity of the essential oil isolated from the aerial parts of cymbopogon olivieri (boiss.) bor, an aromatic grass of iran was tested against three gram-negative and four gram-positive bacteria and also three fungi. the results of the bioassays showed that the oil has a remarkable antimicrobial activity. bacillus subtilis and candida albicans were more sensitive to t...

     The essential oil of Peucedanum ru t h e n i c u m fruits, obtained by hydrodistillation, was analyzed by gas chromatography and gas chromatography mass spectrometry. Among the 31 identified constituents accounting for 83.9% of the total oil, the major components were 1,8-cineole (11.15%), camphor (5.86%), Z-carveol (6.88%), l-carvone (5.61%), 8,9-dehydroisolongifolene (1...

background: antimicrobial peptides play a role as effectors substances in the immunity of vertebrate and inverte­brate hosts. in the current study, antimicrobial peptide was isolated from the haemolymph of the american cock­roach, periplaneta americana . methods: micrococcus luteus as gram-positive bacteria and escherichia coli as gram-negative bacteria were candi­date for injection. induction ...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to determine the microbiology of primary acquired nasolacrimal duct obstruction (PANDO) and its antimicrobial susceptibilities. METHODS Ninety-three patients (100 eyes) diagnosed with PANDO, categorized as acute, chronic dacryocystitis, or simple epiphora, were prospectively enrolled. Lacrimal sac contents were cultured for aerobic and anaerobic bacteria and ...

antibiotics are the best known products of actinomycete. over 5,000 antibiotics have been identified from the cultures of gram positive and gram-negative organisms, and filamentous fungi, but only about 100 antibiotics have commercially been used to treat human, animal and plant diseases. the genus, streptomycete, is responsible for the formation of more than 60% of known antibiotics. bacterial...
