Antibacterial activity of 19 essential oils was screened against four test bacteria namely Pseudomonas aeruginosa NCIM 5029, Staphylococcus aureus NCIM 5021, Salmonella typhimurium NCIM 2501 and Bacillus subtilis NCIM 2063. Varying degree of antibacterial activity was recorded with the highest being depicted by Cinnamomum zeylanicum followed by Cymbopogon ciatrus and Carum copticum, against all...

During the present study the antibacterial activity of Morinda citrifolia leaf, fruit and seed extract was assessed in-vitro by using disc diffusion method. A total of five different accessions of M. citrifolia plants were randomly selected and screened for antibacterial activity against five different bacterial pathogens. Overall analysis of the antibacterial activity of various extracts revea...

Lanthanum oxide (La(2)O(3)) films with good hemocompatibility and antibacterial properties have been fabricated using dual plasma deposition. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) shows that La exists in the +3 oxidation state. The band gap of the materials is determined to be 3.6 eV. Activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and blood platelet adhesion tests were used to evaluate the blood...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of dietary supplementation of antibacterial peptide and zinc methionine on performance and some serum biochemical parameters of weaned piglets. Rongchang male piglets (28 days of age, initial weight 8.4 ± 0.65 kg) were used. All piglets were randomly allotted to four diets including the control group, the antibacterial peptide (AP) group co...

conclusions preliminary results indicate that the native iranian actinobacteria could be considered a suitable option for screening of the new antibacterial compounds. molecular research and antibacterial compound extraction against the aforementioned pathogenic strains are also being conducted. results based on the morphological characterization, 35 isolated cases belonged to actinomycetes and...

background and objectives: due to the importance of finding of new antibacterial agents, the antibacterial properties of prosopis cineraria aerial parts were investigated using a bioassay guided fractionation scheme. materials and methods: the organic extract was prepared via maceration in methanol, followed by the fractionation using n-hexane and ethyl acetate. the mics of fractions were deter...

BACKGROUND The rising drug resistance in pathogenic bacteria and inefficiency of current antibiotics to meet clinical requirements has augmented the need to establish new and innovative approaches for antibacterial drug discovery involving identification of novel antibacterial targets and inhibitors. Being obligatory for bacterial growth, essential gene products are considered vital as drug tar...

BACKGROUND Bauhinia kockiana originates from Peninsular Malaysia and it is grown as a garden ornamental plant. Our previous study reported that this plant exhibited fairly strong antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. This paper focused on the assessment of the antibacterial activity of B. kockiana towards methicillin-resistance Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), to purify and to identify the ant...

The study was to investigate the Antibacterial Activity of Some Medicinal Plants used against UTI Causing Pathogens. Bacteria were isolated from the UTI infected patients and characterized by using microscopic, staining, morphological and biochemical methods. The Ethanolic Extracts from plants were prepared and then used to check their antibacterial activity against the bacteria isolated from U...

Numerous procedures used as antibacterial therapy are present in many films and include strategies ranging from different antimicrobial drugs to surgery and supporting measures. Films also explore the correct use and misuse of antimicrobial agents. Side effects and other aspects related to antibacterial therapy have also been reflected in some films. This article refers to the presence of antib...
