The leaves of Solanum indicum showed the presence of stellate trichome. Ethanolic extract of leaves Solanum indicum showed antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli where as chloroform extract, acetone extract and ethanol showed anti bacterial against pseudomonas. The aqueous extract did not show any anti microbial activity towards the tested organi...

Antimicrobial activity of different parts of Croccus sativus L. (saffron) including stigma, stamen, leaves and colora, extracted by various solvents, were tested against different bacteria (Microccucos luteus, Staphylococcus epidermitis, Staphylococcus aureus and E. coli) and fungi (Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger and Cladospourium sp) by cup plate diffusion method. Minimal Inhibitory Conce...

Background: Microbial biofilms are responsible for many human infections and increase of antibiotic resistant bacteria. Therefore, finding an efficient way to prevent infection and biofilm formation of bacteria is essential. Medicinal plants are among suitable candidates to inhibit biofilm formation of bacteria. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial effects of...

Novel methyl anthranilate-based organoselenocyanate hybrids were developed, and their structures confirmed by the state-of-the-art spectroscopic techniques. Their antimicrobial potency was estimated against various microbial strains (e.g., Candida albicans, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus). The S. aureus C. albicans more sensitive than E. coli toward organoselenocyanates. Interestingly,...

The aim of this study was to determine antibiotic resistance genes, phylogenetic groups and anti-microbial resistance patterns of Escherichia coli isolates from fecal samples of healthy pet cats in Kerman city. Ninety E. coli isolates were recovered from obtained rectal swabs. Antibiotic resistance pattern of the isolates against seven selected antibiotic was determined using ...

The surprising progression of pharmaceutical industry in Pakistan has elevated certain queries for drug regulatory authorities considering their efficacy and quality. The present study was aimed on assessing the in-vitro antimicrobial activity of six brands of cefadroxil 500 mg tablets/capsules against clinical isolates as well as standard cultures of micro-organism i.e. Staphylococcus aureus a...

background: the appearance of multi-drug resistant microorganisms is becoming a global problem. already several strategies have been employed for overcoming antibiotic resistance issue. developing new antimicrobial compounds from microbial source could be a beneficial solution. hence screening programs in order to discover new antibiotics from microbial entities is interesting. because of high ...

In this study, Cu, Ag, and Fe nanoparticles (NPs) are used in shampoo, hand washing liquid (HWL) and dish washing liquid (DWL) instead of the conventional synthetic preservatives such as isothiazolinones; since the latter often act as potent sensitizers that leads to development of allergic contact dermatitis. The above NPs are considerably effective against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus ...
