the antibacterial effect of alcoholic extract of satureja bactiarica were investigated quantitatively and qualitatively on two foodborne pathogenic bacteria including staphylococcus aureus and escherichia coli. determination of the mic and mbc values were used as quantitative method, and disk and well  diffusion methods were applied as qualitative methods.  the results of the disk diffusion tes...

background and aim: for rapid growing drug resistance among pathogenic microorganisms, it is essential to find new compounds with antimicrobial activity. medicinal herbs application in traditional treatment for thousand years, make this natural compound to the best choice for antimicrobial studies. the aim of this study is to determine the antimicrobial activity of artemisia against some import...

stevia rebaudiana bertoni, is an ancient perennial shrub of south america, with great potential as a crop for the production of high-power natural sweetener. due to its chemical composition and content of the phytochemical compounds, it is suitable as a raw material for the extraction and production of functional foods. diterpene glycosides component of low-calorie sweetener is approximately 30...

New approaches for treatment of infectious diseases in aquatic animals have important roles in aquaculture technology progress. In the present study, In vitro effects of different extracts of propolis, royal jelly and pollen obtained from beehives have been investigated on aquatic pathogenic bacterial isolates. The isolated bacteria identified on the basis of their biochemical properties and se...

Inhibitory effects of more than 300 analogues of griseofulvin against six dermatophytic fungi and eight plant pathogenic fungi were determined in an investigation of relations between chemical structure and biological activity. The influence of chemical structure on physical properties of the analogues appeared dominant, but optimum requirements for in vitro performance were somewhat different ...

Background & Aims of the Study: Selenium is an essential nutritional material used for the important functions of the human body. The issue of the production of selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) was investigated in various fields, such as anticancer, antioxidant, and antibacterial activities. Materials and Methods: In order to study antibacterial activity, the nutrient broth medium containing ...

conclusions chlorine-stressed cells of v. parahaemolyticus were more susceptible to adverse conditions than the non-stressed ones. pathogenic and non-pathogenic strains showed the same survival characteristics under the adverse conditions. these results should be considered in the development of food preservation measures. results findings of the current study revealed that the normal cells of ...

We present the frailtyHL package for fitting semi-parametric frailty models using hlikelihood. This package allows lognormal or gamma frailties for random-effect distribution, and it fits shared or multilevel frailty models for correlated survival data. Functions are provided to format and summarize the frailtyHL results. The estimates of fixed effects and frailty parameters and their standard ...
