Background & Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the antimicrobial effects of Zataria multiflora against some Acinetobacter baumannii strains isolated from clinical samples. Experimental: Twelve strains of Acinetobacter baumannii were isolated from referred patients in Zabol hospital. Essential oil of Zataria multiflora...

background periodontitis is a major problem that affects a large number of patients in the society. various treatment alternatives have been proposed to control this pathologic condition. streptococcus sanguis is one of the countless pathogens involved in periodontitis. objectives the current study aimed to assess the efficacy of pineapple extract per se and in synergy with vancomycin on the gr...

Background: Zataria multiflora boiss is a member of Lamiaceae family with antibacterial, antifungal, and antioxidant activity. The aim of this study was to evaluate chemical composition and antibacterial effect of Zataria multiflora essential oil against two foodborne pathogens in meat. Methods: The inhibitory effect of Zataria multiflora essential oil (Minimum inhibitory concentration and Min...

A total of 434 clinical aerobic gram-negative bacillary isolates were tested against LY127935, a new 1-oxa cephalosporin, and compared with other cephalosporins, penicillins, and aminoglycosides by a broth microdilution technique. Cefotaxime (HR756), a new semisynthetic cephalosporin, and LY127935 were more active, and showed lower minimum inhibitory concentrations (ranges, less than or equal t...

objective: infections are increasing caused by antibiotic-resistant pseudomonas aeruginosa day by day. for this reason, many researchers have tried to find new compounds as alternative antibiotics. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of yarrow extract, green tea and ajowan  on pseudomonas aeruginosa. methods: extraction  of achillea, green tea and ajowan was done with rotary. f...

A total of 60 clinical isolates of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis were tested for susceptibility to sulfadiazine and sulfadimethoxyne by the agar dilution technique. A modification of the Mueller-Hinton medium was devised which gave good growth of the yeast form. The minimum inhibitory concentrations for only 51.6% of the isolates were in the range of the recommended blood serum concentration (5...

Interaction between amphotericin B and metronidazole was studied against Candida albicans, Candida tropicalis, Candida parapsilosis, Candida krusei, and Candida lusitaniae strains. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of the drugs alone and in combination were determined by means of the checkerboard method on YNB supplemented agar. Minimum fungicidal concentrations (MFCs) were determined on...

Fortimicin A, a pseudodisaccharide aminoglycoside, was found to have broad-spectrum activity against most clinically important aerobic and facultatively anaerobic bacteria, except Pseudomonas aeruginosa, some other Pseudomonas species, and streptococci. It was comparable to amikacin in its level of activity (minimum inhibitory concentrations) and spectrum of activity (except for the lack of act...

BACKGROUND Fluoroquinolones are the drugs of choice for the treatment of typhoid fever. But the recent increase in minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of ciprofloxacin in Salmonella Typhi may result in delayed response and serious complications. Nalidixic acid resistance has been used as an indirect evidence of increased minimum inhibitory concentration for ciprofloxacin in Salmonella...
