Background and objectives: Bacterial antibiotic resistance is a major issue in the process of infectious disease treatments. The aim of this study was an evaluation of the antibacterial activity of Punica granatum flower extract against several gram-negative and positive clinical bacterial isolates.   Methods: An adequate dried flower of an endemic mature Punica granatum plant was used for ex...

Seaweeds have caused an emerging interest in the biomedical area, mainly due to their contents of bioactive substances which show great potential as anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, anti-viral and anti-tumoral drugs. Despite the diversity in quality and quantity of the Mediterranean Tunisian coast flora, with its large contains of marine organisms and seaweeds, most of them have not yet been ...

Glycyrrhiza glabra L. (family-Fabaceae-Leguminosae) is one of the important medicinal plant, commonly called as ‘liquorice’. The main ingredient of liquorice is ‘glycyrrhizin’. The present experiment was focused on the anti-inflammatory activity of hydro alcoholic extract of G. glabra (HAEGG) root against carrageenan induced rat paw oedema at dose levels of 100, 200, and 300 mg/kg orally. The H...

To win the battle against resistant, pathogenic bacteria, novel classes of anti-infectives and targets are urgently needed. Bacterial uptake, distribution, metabolic efflux pathways antibiotics in Gram-negative bacteria determine what we here refer to as bacterial bioavailability. Understanding these mechanisms from a chemical perspective is essential for anti-infective activity hence, drug dis...

background : lactobacilli are the well known friendly bacteria for their probiotic activities against pathogens. the inhibitory activity of different strains of lactobacilli either obtained as commercial products or isolated from human feces was investigated against the clinical isolates of pseudomonas aeruginosa. the isolates were selected as the most resistant strains when challenged with ant...

In today's world, the production of hospital wastes and their adverse effects such as infectious outbreaks and resistance to treatment is an important issue. Therefore, it's vital to find a new and efficient method to manage such wastes. In this study, the ability of dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma to deactivate Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus bacter...
