Sequence analysis of the Helicobacter pylori major sigma factor (RpoD) shows that it is highly divergent, which may be related to the marked diversity of the H. pylori chromosome. Furthermore, the rate of divergence of RpoD among other gram-negative bacteria is much greater than that among gram-positive bacteria. This suggests that RpoD from gram-negative bacteria is functionally less constrain...

background urinary tract infection (uti) is one of the most common bacterial diseasesworldwidethat can be presented asymptomatic or symptomatic, characterized by a wide range of symptoms from mild irritative voiding to bacteremia, sepsis, or even death. in latter decades, widespread utilization of antibiotics has resulted in increased incidence of antibiotic resistance among urinary tract patho...

The Gram stain classifies most bacteria into one of two groups, Gram-negative or Gram-positive, based on the composition their cell walls [...]

     The essential oil of Peucedanum ru t h e n i c u m fruits, obtained by hydrodistillation, was analyzed by gas chromatography and gas chromatography mass spectrometry. Among the 31 identified constituents accounting for 83.9% of the total oil, the major components were 1,8-cineole (11.15%), camphor (5.86%), Z-carveol (6.88%), l-carvone (5.61%), 8,9-dehydroisolongifolene (1...

Food poisoning has been emerged as a worldwide health issue and related illness in both developed and developing countries confirms its significance as an important public health priority.In vitro antibacterialevaluationof nine fluoroquinolone derivatives against food borne bacteria including Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative (Salmonella enterica, Escherichia coli, Yersini...

Six unsymmetrical diorganyltellurium(IV) dichlorides RR'TeCl2 (where R= phenacyl-, 1-naphthacyl-, and styrylacyl- and R' = p-methoxyphenyl, p-hydroxyphenyl-, and 3-methyl-4-hydoxyphenyl-) were tested for their antibacterial activity against gram-positive (Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633 and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923) and gram-negative (Escherichia coli ATCC 25922. Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC...
