BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Acinetobacter spp. are important causes of nosocomial infections. They possess various antibiotic resistance mechanisms including extended spectrum beta lactamases (ESBLs). The aim of this study was to determine antibiotic resistance profile of Acinetobacter clinical isolates especially among ESBL-producing strains and to investigate the antimicrobial effects of oleo-g...

OBJECTIVES Ferula gummosa Boiss is native to central Asia. This plant has traditionally been used in the treatment of many diseases. The antihypoxic and antioxidant activities of Ferula gummosa roots were investigated. MATERIAL AND METHODS 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl radical (DPPH), nitric oxide and hydrogen peroxide scavenging activities, Fe2+ chelating ability, reducing power and hemoglo...

dormancy breaking and germination requirements were investigated in seeds of ferula ovina and ferula gummosa. seeds of rather species were collected from north and eastern-north rangelands of iran. seeds of each of the species were subjected to different treatments including various levels of ga3, chilling and combination of ga3 and chilling (ga-chilling). in contrast to treated seeds, non-trea...

OBJECTIVES The usage of medicinal plants as natural antimicrobial agents has grown in many fields including dental medicine. The aim of this in vitro study was three-fold: (i) to determine the chemical compositions of the Ferula gummosa essential oil (FGEO), (ii) to compare the antimicrobial efficacy of the oil with sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and chlorhexidine (CHX), (iii) to assess the toxic ...
