Trachyspermum copticum (Apiaceae) is an annual plant which grows in Iran. The fruits of T. copticum (Ajwain) traditionally were used as diuretic, carminative, and antihelmentic. Some biological effects of Ajwain such as antiviral, antifungal and antioxidant activities have been confirmed. The objective of the present investigation was toevaluate the antibacterial activity of e...

abstract       background and objective: probiotics are living microorganisms that have beneficial effects on the health of digestive system. the aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial ability of acidic and neutral supernatants (culture supernatant) of lactic acid bacteria against common bacterial pathogens.        methods: four species of lactic acid bacteria (lactobacillus planta...

Biological control this disease tool to protect the plant and environment from pollution chemical control. Results Twenty isolates genus, Pantoea were isolated healthy root. Out 20 , 2 strains, PHYTPO1 PHYTPO2, showed highly antagonistic property growth R. in vitro conditions...

Background and Objectives: Melissa officinalis belongs to plant Lamiaceae family and is native to Iran as well as other countries. The aim of this study was to identify chemical compositions and antioxidant activity of the M. officinalis essential oil (EO). Another aim of this paper was to assess antimicrobial activity of M. officinalis EO on growth of clinical and commercial strains causing in...

Background & Aim:Vaginal disease has always been a great concern of women. Medicinal plants as natural resources with fewer side effects can effectively treat these infections given the diversity of these infections, resistance to antibiotics and side effects of existing drugs. The present study aimed to compare antimicrobial effects of methanol extract of Francoeuria Undul...

Four capsulated glass ionomer cements were applied in the study: Fuji Triage (GC), Fuji IX (GC), Ketac Molar (3M Espe) and Ketac Silver (3M Espe). Four standard bacterial strains were used to assess the antibacterial activity of the studied cements: Streptococcus mutans, S. sanguis, S. salivarius and Lactobacillus casei. The antibacterial activity was determined by the agar diffusion method. Th...

purpose: to investigate the penetration of cefixime, cephalexin and ciprofloxacin into the human eye based on microbial inhibition by human aqueous samples after oral administration. method: sixty patients aged 40 to 75 years who were scheduled for cataract surgery were divided into three equal groups. one group received 500 mg oral ciprofloxacin 24, 12 and 2 hours preoperatively; another group...

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the antibacterial activity of Genistein and Quercetin against pathogens of the urinary tract infection (UTI). Methods: An in vitro study was carried out using the following bacterial strains involved in UTI diseases using well diffusion (WD) testing: Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922) and 10 strains were compiled from Aleppo Hospital. It was from w...

objective bacterial adhesion is governed by specific and nonspecific interactions such as hydrophobicity. hydrophobic interactions play a role in the adherence of microorganisms to a wide variety of surfaces and facilitate biofilm formation due to bacterial adhesion. in this article the relation between cell surface hydrophobicity and antibiotic resistance was studied. materials and methods we ...

The antibacterial activity of Citrus karna fruit peel extracts was evaluated on bacteria strains like Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis. Hexane, chloroform and methanol were used for extraction and the antibacterial activity was performed by agar well diffusion method. The results were compared with ampicillin, a commercial antibacterial agent...
