as part of our ongoing interest in exploring the synthesis of antibacterial agent, we report an efficient, mild, one pot and chemoselective procedure for preparation of 3-poly (vinylbenzyl)-5,5-dimethylimidazolidine-2,4-dione as a antimicrobial agent from poly(vinylbenzyl chloride) and 5,5-dimethylhydantoin in the presence of a base in dmf as a solven. the ft-ir technique and melting point conf...

background & aim: the present study was aimed to evaluate and compare the antibacterial activity of schrophularia striata boiss. andstachys schtschegleevii sosn. extracts against seven clinical isolates. the test isolates were streptococcus agalactiae, enterococcus faecalis, staphylococcus saprophyticus, e. coli, klebsiella pneumoniae, proteus mirabilis and enterobacter dissolvens. e. coli (atc...

objective: antibacterial properties of silver nanoparticles have recently come into the spotlight in endodontic therapy. this study was conducted aiming at comparing the antimicrobial activity of a new irrigation solution containing nanosilver particles with that of sodium hypochlorite and chlorhexidine against escherichia coli, enterococcus faecalis, pseudomonas aeruginosa and candida albicans...

abstract essential oils (eos) of achillea eriophora, extracted by hydrodistillation and their constituents were analyzed by gas chromatograph (gc) and gc/mass spectrometry using retention indices and fragmentation patterns. the antibacterial effects of the eo was assessed on several food-borne pathogens, namely staphylococcus aureus, bacillus cereus, escherichia coli o157:h7, salmonella enterit...

in this research kelussia odoratissima mozaff. leaf extract was used for the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (agnps). at first we compared antioxidant activity of different extracts of k. odoratissima. then solution containing silver nitrate was treated with the extract which showed high antioxidant activity. synthesized agnps were evaluated by analyzing the excitation of surface plasmo...

objectives in the present study, we evaluated the antibacterial activity of capsella bursa-pastoris alone and also combined with glycyrrhiza glabra against streptococcus mutans, s. sanguis, actinomyces viscosus, enterococcus faecalis as oral pathogens. conclusions c. bursa-pastoris and its mixture with g. glabra are suggested as appropriate candidates to control dental caries and endodontic inf...

Antibacterial activity of the aerial extracts from Xanthium brasilicum prepared in methanol, diethyl ether, petroleum benzene and an equal mixture of the three solvents were studied against bacterial laboratory standards and clinical isolates using the disk diffusion method. The best antibacterial results were obtained when methanol or the solvent mixture was used. The crude extract with the hi...
