Crude extracts from olive leaves and arugula seeds were screened for its in vitro antibacterial activity. Antibacterial activity was determined by using disc diffusion method against three bacteria (, Staphylococcus aurous and Bacillus cereus). Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) have been determined. Gallic acid was used as a standard drug for th...

A chemical library of carboxamide-substituted tetramates designed by analogy with antibacterial natural products, a method for their rapid construction, and the evaluation of their antibacterial activity is reported.

The antibacterial activity of natural zeolite (CLI) containing 2.60 wt. % Cu 2+ (Cu-CLI) or 5.07 wt.% Ag + (Ag-CLI) were tested against clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii. A. baumannii belonging to the European clone I and II were isolated in Split University Hospital, Croatia. The isolate from clone II was more sensitive on the effect of the metalloaded zeolite than isolate of clone ...

Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Staphylococcus aureus are two of the major pathogens frequently involved in foodborne outbreaks. Control of these pathogens in foods is essential to food safety. It is of great interest in the use of natural antimicrobial compounds present in edible plants to control foodborne pathogens as consumers prefer more natural "green" foods. Allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) is a...

About 200 species of fungi called as ìmedicinal mushroomsî containing biologically activity substances, are currently known (1, 2). The greatest interest in mycochemistry is focused on polysaccharides, e.g., β-glucans, due to their immunomodulating, anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties. Some of them possess antibacterial and antiviral activity. These compounds have been isolated from fru...

INTRODUCTION The role of natural bioactive substances in treating infections has been rediscovered as bacterial resistance become common to most of the antibiotics. Curcumin is a bioactive substance from turmeric. Owing to antimicrobial properties, its prospect as an antibacterial agent is currently under focus. MATERIALS AND METHODS We have evaluated the in vitro synergy of curcumin with ant...

Floor cleaning products on the market usually use synthetic active that can interfere with health and environment. Therefore, highly recommended to substitute natural substances such as essential oils. The by-product of oils is hydrosol which also not safe for This research aims analyze hydrosol's effectiveness an antibacterial get optimal formulation oil in floor products. Kaffir lime leaf oil...

Lichens are valuable natural resources used for centuries throughout the world as medicine, food, fodder, perfume, spices and dyes, as well as for other miscellaneous purposes. This study investigates the antiproliferative, antibacterial and antifungal activity of the acetone extract of the lichen Xanthoria parietina (Linnaeus) Theodor Fries and its major secondary metabolite, parietin. The ext...

Pathogenic bacteria are microorganisms that cause disease in humans because grow cosmopolitan with human life, both on land and underwater. This research aimed to obtain mangrove sediment have the potential as antibacterial antifungal from sediments Semarang Karimunjawa waters. Mangrove waters, well identification of their compounds using GCMS method. Sediment samples were collected Karimunjawa...
