The antibacterial and anti-biofilm activity of ethanolic extract from the rhizome of Zingiber officinale were evaluated. In vitro antibacterial activity was investigated by microdilution method. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) have been determined. The values were in the range from 0.0024 to > 20 mg/ml. The most sensitive bacteria were Gram-po...

The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of an antimicrobial drug for a bacterial pathogen is used as a measure of the bacterial susceptibility to the drug. However, relationships between the antimicrobial concentration, bacterial susceptibility, and the pharmacodynamic (PD) inhibitory effect on the bacterial population are more complex. The relationships can be captured by multi-parameter mo...

Objective: The emergence of multi-drug-resistant pathogens on antimicrobials in current use has made it necessary to search for alternative treatment strategies. Plant essential oils are considered as the diseases because they non-toxic, cost-effective and accessible. This study aimed evaluate antibacterial antibiofilm effect anti-quarum sensing (QS) properties Cinnamomun verum leaf oil Pseudom...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the in vitro antifungal activity of Schinus terebinthifolius (Brazilian pepper tree) tincture on planktonic Candida tropicalis (ATCC 40042), which is a microorganism associated to oral cavity infections. Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Fungicidal Concentration (MFC) were determined through the microdilution technique. Possible action of t...

This study evaluated the in vitro antibacterial activity of essential oils from Lippia graveolens (Mexican oregano), Origanum vulgaris (oregano), Thymus vulgaris (thyme), Rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary), Cymbopogon nardus (citronella), Cymbopogon citratus (lemongrass), and Eucalyptus citriodora (eucalyptus) against Escherichia coli (n = 22) strains isolated from Alouatta spp. feces. Minimum i...

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...

the aim study antibacterial effects of silver nanoparticles against resistant strains of e.coli bacteria.12 strains of e. coli strains arising urinary infection were isolated from hospitalized patient in zabolhospitals. minimum inhibitory concentration of winter cherry were determined by dilution method in various concentration on bacteria. the highest mic values was found to be 100ppm against ...

PURPOSE To determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) for the extracts of the leaves and seeds of the plant Azadirachta indica against various dermatophytes. METHODS Clinical isolates of dermatophytes(Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Microsporum nanum) were treated with extracts of leaves and seeds of the plant Azadirach...

Background and Aim: Because of complexity in root canals, irrigating solutions are needed in addition to mechanical instrumentation for thorough cleansing of the root canal system. This in-vitro study was designed to determine the inhibitory effect of arginine, protamine, and aqueous extracts of green tea and aloe vera against Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis), which causes endodontic failure...

conclusions our findings indicate that probiotic bacterial strains of lactobacillus have a significant inhibitory effect on the growth of p. aeruginosa ptcc 1430. the antimicrobial potency of this combination can be useful for designing and developing alternative therapeutic strategies against p. aeruginosa infections. results the results showed a significant effect of cfs on the growth of p. a...
