A series of curcumin derivatives containing heterocyclic moiety have been synthesized and evaluated for their antibacterial activities. The chemical structures of the synthesized compounds were verified on the basis of spectral data and elemental analyses. Investigation of antimicrobial activity of the derivatives demonstrated the ability to inhibit Gram-positive microorganisms with zone of inh...

In this study, antifungal property of olive leaf extracts against Candida albicans PTCC-5027 was examined. Fresh olive leaf extracts were prepared using distilled water in a Soxhlet apparatus. The antifungal activity of the extract was analyzed by measuring the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC), using the microdilution test and disc diffusion assa...

The MIC(50) and MIC(90) values of doripenem, determined by Etest, for 110 isolates of Burkholderia pseudomallei were 0.5 and 0.75 microg/ml, respectively. There were significant correlations between MICs determined by Etest and MICs determined by agar dilution, MICs determined by Etest and inhibition zone size, and MICs determined by agar dilution and inhibition zone size.

introduction: the aim of this study was to compare the antibacterial effect of persian green tea extract (gte) and 2.5% sodium hypochlorite (naocl) against enterococcus faecalis ( e. faecalis ) as an intracanal irrigant. methods and materials: thirty freshly extracted teeth were instrumented and sectioned into mesial and distal segments. the specimens were put into wells containing 2 ml of e. f...

INTRODUCTION Tulsi is a popular healing herb in Ayurvedic medicine. It is widely used in the treatment of several systemic diseases because of its anti-microbial property. However, studies documenting the effect of Tulsi on oral disease causing organisms are rare. Hence, an attempt was made to determine the effect of Tulsi on a periodontal microorganism in human dental plaque. AIM To determin...

The antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of Staphylococcusaureus in Umuahia was investigated in this study.A total of 113 strains of S. aureus consisting of 30 isolates from clinical specimens obtained from 10 medical Laboratories and 83 isolates from nasal swabs of University students in Umuahia, were tested against 10 antimicrobial agents using the disc agar diffusion method. Resistance to pe...
