The aim of the study was to examine antibacterial properties of microemulsion structure produced from Aloe vera var. littoralis extract as a new tool of nanoscale drug-like materials. Aloe vera var. littoralis (A. littoralis) extract was prepared by distillation method. A nonocarrier structure in the microemulsion system was prepared from the extract. Serial concentrations were prepared from 8 ...

A total of 27 sows (Line 241; DNA Genetics) were used in a study to evaluate the effect feeding live yeast and extracts lactating on antimicrobial susceptibilities fecal E. coli. Sows blocked by BW parity d 110 gestation allotted 1 2 dietary treatments. Dietary treatments consisted standard corn-soybean meal lactation diet or that contained yeast-based pre- probiotics (0.10% Actisaf Sc 47 HR+ 0...

A total of 360 weanling barrows (Line 200 × 400, DNA Genetics; initial BW 12.4 ± 0.05 lb) were used in a 42-d study to evaluate yeast-based pre- and probiotics (Phileo by Lesaffre, Milwaukee, WI) diets with or without pharmacological levels Zn on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) patterns fecal Escherichia coli. Pens assigned 1 4 dietary treatments 5 pigs per pen 18 pens treatment. Dietary arrange...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate in vitro antibacterial effectiveness of five medicinal plants used by an Indian aborigine, against 8 multidrug-resistant (MDR) enteropathogenic bacteria isolated from clinical samples of under-5 hospitalized children. METHODS Antibiotic sensitivity patterns of eight clinically isolated strains of enteropathogenic bacteria, Enterobacter aerogenes, Escherichia coli, Klebsi...

A simplified method has been developed for agar dilution antimicrobial susceptibility testing of anaerobic bacteria, designed to economize on time and money when only a few isolates need to be tested. The procedure is based on the principle of using filter paper disks as carriers of the antibiotic and 35- by 10-mm petri dishes which, when inoculated with the Steers replicator, can test up to fo...

The contamination of ores with wastes or materials of lower than the cut-off grade is referred to as dilution. Dilution is an undesirable phenomenon that, on one hand, reduces the product grade and, consequently, reduces the sales prices and, on the other hand, adds an extra cost to waste production. Therefore, studying and evaluating the dilution risk is important in mining, and especially in ...

BACKGROUND Enterococci are important pathogens in nosocomial infections. Various types of antibiotics, such as aminoglycosides, are used for treatment of these infections. Enterococci can acquire resistant traits, which can lead to therapeutic problems with aminoglycosides. OBJECTIVES This study was designed to identify the prevalence of, and to compare, the aac(6')-aph(2") and aph(3)-IIIa ge...

BACKGROUND: Emergence of high-level aminoglycoside and glycopeptide resistance has significantly contributed to the mortality, particularly in serious enterococcal infections. High Level Aminoglycoside Resistance (HLAR) is related to the slow uptake or permeability of these agents. AIM: The present study was undertaken to determine HLAR pattern of enterococci in our hospital. METERIALS AND METH...
