OBJECTIVE To determine the antimicrobial activity and efficacy of different formulations of novel bioxygenating hydrogel dressings (which deliver both iodine and oxygen into the wound) against various target organisms by means of an in vitro test system that more effectively mimics the conditions encountered when dressings are in contact with wounds. METHOD Three bioxygenating hydrogels were ...

in the present study, the antimicrobial tests of patchouli oil were studied by using molecular docking technology and antimicrobial test in vitro. five biological macromolecule enzymes, required by the bacteria in the process of biosynthesis were selected as target molecules. five antibiotics benzylpenicillin, sulfadiazine, trimethoprim, rifampicin and ciprofloxacin, which are generally acknowle...

BACKGROUND Stenotrophomonas maltophilia has emerged as an important nosocomial pathogen, capable of causing a wide spectrum of infections. Treatment is difficult because it is resistant to many antimicrobial agents, thus reducing the treatment options. The aims of this study were to describe the antimicrobial susceptibility patterns and synergistic effect of selected antimicrobial combinations ...

Background: The quick diagnosis and early initiation of antibiotic therapy in bacteria-induced infections is paramount importance. Accordingly, the rapid identification causative agent, short-term results sensitivity, selection use right antibiotics for treatment further highlights significance this issue. Objectives: This study aimed to develop a new susceptibility testing method provide Esche...

background: essential oils of medicinal plants such as chamomile are very complex natural mixtures which can contain compounds at quite different concentrations and some of their components have antioxidant and antimicrobial activities in foodstuff. objective: the antioxidant and antimicrobial effects of chamomile essential oil in cake preparation were evaluated during 75 days of storage. metho...

The purpose of this study is to assess the impact low-frequency electromagnetic fields (LF-EMFs = 0.5 MHz) on phenotypic and genotypic levels concerning antibiotic resistance, antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) genes, resistance mechanisms Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa). In study, bacterial isolates were exposed MHz then inoculated a new medium for assessment their sensitivity. results showe...

Pendahuluan: Indonesia merupakan negara dengan prevalensi carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) tertinggi di Asia. Hal tersebut menunjukkan pentingnya menemukan dan menanggulangi kasus CRE sedini mungkin. Telaah sistematis ini bertujuan untuk menyajikan hasil penelitian terkini tentang secara global, aplikasi antimicrobial susceptibility test (AST) dalam mendeteksi CRE, metode deteksi c...

Carbapenem administration is an important therapy for nosocomial infections due to MDRO, especially Acinetobacter baumannii. The global increase in carbapenem-resistant A. baumannii (CRAB) that causes this pathogen has significantly threatened public health the lack of adequate treatment options very few currently available antimicrobial agents actively fight CRAB. Antimicrobial resistance a ma...
