Background & Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the antimicrobial activity of two rangeland-medical plants extracts, Prosopis farcta L. and Datura stramonium L., against Staphylococcus aureus isolated from sheep in Zabol city. Experimental: The P. farcta and D. stramonium were collected from...

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been shown great interest because of their potential antibacterial effect. Recently, this has been increased due to resistance in some pathogenic bacteria strains to conventional antibiotics, which has initiated new studies to search for more effective treatments against resistant microorganisms. For these reasons, AgNPs have become an important approach for ap...

objective: the current study was undertaken to examine the bactericide effects of atmospheric plasma produced by flat and comb electrodes on e.coli. materials and methods: dc (20 w) and ac (500 w) power supplies, flat and comb electrodes, insulator and oxygen gas were used to produce atmospheric plasma. bactericide effects of the atmospheric plasma were studied on e.coli on sterilized plate pla...

The pomegranate (Punica granatum) is a bush with abundant foliage originating from Iran, it was brought to Mexico during the time of conquest and whose main characteristic fruit generates, which big, globose berry thick, shiny skin red, green or yellow colour depending on specie ripening stage in itis founding. Recent research has shown that contains chemical compounds antioxidant bactericidal ...

recreational waters should be considered as risks for enterococcal infections in regions with high utilization and long exposure periods. the aim of this study was to investigate the resistance of enterococci to selected antibiotics and some heavy metals [pb+2, fe+2, zn+2 and cr+2]. a total of 75 enterococcal isolates was obtained from 54 bathing and fishing water samples from 9 bathing and fis...

abstract background: a surgical site infection (ssi) is the most common nosocomial infection after surgery and is the third most common infection in hospitalized patients. the aim of this study was to asses minimum inhibitory concentration (mic) of the causing agents of ssi and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns. methods: this cross-sectional study was done in three referral hospitals in nor...

The development of flexible and low-cost methods surface functionalization to fight infection at the early stage is an urgent scientific task. Herein, polymerization in low-pressure plasma rich COOH species carbodiimide chemistry were utilized immobilize four different therapeutic agents (antibiotic (gentamicin), antimicrobial peptide (indolicidin), anti-adhesive molecules (heparin) nitroxide r...

Paenibacillus larvae (P. larvae) is a pathogenic bacterium causing American Foulbrood Disease (AFB) in honeybee larvae. It necessary to develop alternative strategies for the control of this disease due serious colonies loses and use antibiotics. Recent studies are aimed at investigating natural fighting agents against P. In our study, it was demonstrate potential antibacterial efficacy ethanol...
