conclusions silver nanoparticles were observed to have additive effects with essential oil against staphylococcus epidermidis and s. aureus. the obtained results suggest the need for further investigations of the antibacterial effects of the combination of silver nanoparticles with other plant extracts and essential oils. results the results of the experiment showed that the mic and minimal bac...

We demonstrate here a strategy for enhanced antibacterial activity against microbial strains by the assembly of antimicrobial peptides with a temperature-responsive polymeric carrier. The assembly complex was less toxic to human cells and more stable to enzymatic cleavage. This work may provide a promising drug delivery system for antimicrobial peptides.

The purpose of this study was to observe the antibacterial activity of aqueous methanolic extracts of 10 plants against 2-gram negative bacteria (Pasteurella multocida, Escherichia coli) and 3-gram positive bacteria (Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Corynebacterium bovis) by using disc diffusion method. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined by agar well diffusion meth...

A new high throughput antibacterial method employing the dye resazurin as an indicator of bacterial growth was developed to evaluate drug susceptibility by combined measurements of microtitre-plates, colorimetric and haemocytometric assays. The bacterial strains E. coli, B. subtilis, P. aeruginosa and S. aureus (multi-drug resistant strain) were used to evaluate the preliminary screening of pla...

Phyla nodiflora Linn. (Verbenaceae) is a small creeping herb, commonly known as Jalpapli. The plant is used to cure many problems. It is used for pain in knee joints, for lack of bowel movement, used in ulcers and boils, in swollen cervical glands. It is also used in gonorrhea. The antibacterial activity of plant has also been traced. The plant has showed antibacterial activity against bacteria...
