background: mentha piperita l. essential oils have different antibacterial activity. in the present study, we investigated the effect of γ–irradiation on the antibacterial activities of mentha piperita l. essential oils in vitro and in vivo systems. materials and methods: the aerial parts of peppermint were irradiated in a cobalt60 source with 0, 10 and 25 kgy absorbed doses. then, the plants w...

Objective(s): Antibacterial materials are so significant in the textile industry, water disinfection, medicine, and food packaging. Unfortunately, organic compounds for sterilization show toxicity to the human body; therefore, the interest in inorganic disinfectants such as metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) is increasing. Materials and Methods: Nickel and nickel hydroxide nanoparticles (NiNPs ...

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...

the in vitro antimicrobial activity of the essential oil isolated from the aerial parts of cymbopogon olivieri (boiss.) bor, an aromatic grass of iran was tested against three gram-negative and four gram-positive bacteria and also three fungi. the results of the bioassays showed that the oil has a remarkable antimicrobial activity. bacillus subtilis and candida albicans were more sensitive to t...

The current study evaluated the general toxicity, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and cytotoxic activity of extracts obtained from the rhizomes of Eremostachys azerbaijanica (Labiatae) as well as analyzed the potent extracts using GC-MS. Extracts of E. azerbaijanica in n-hexane, dichloromethane (DCM) and methanol (MeOH) were prepared using a Soxhlet apparatus. The antioxidant activity of the extrac...

objective(s): chitosan nanoparticles (cnps) were prepared based on the ionic gelation of chitoan with anionic compounds of ocimum basilicum leaf extract. materials and methods: after addition of ocimum basilicum leaf extract to chitosan solution, the physicochemical properties of the nanoparticles were determined by field emission scanning electron microscope (fesem), fourier transform infrared...
