abstract background and purpose: in traditional medicine, herbal products still remain the principal source of pharmaceutical agents. the present study aimed to investigate the antifungal effects of echinophora platyloba and rosmarinus officinalis extracts on c. albicans species. materials and methods: the aqueous and ethanolic leaf extracts of e. platyloba and r. officinalis, collected from th...

Problem statement: Increased emergence in microbial resistance to antibiotics is a growing problem in Bangladesh, a tropical country with a large agrarian population having limited medical facilities. Wide spread use of antimicrobials in poultry farming here is a concern of multi-drug microbial resistance development that can potentially be transmitted to human pathogens even from non-pathogeni...

results the results showed that the isolated e. coli strains were sensitive to these antibiotics: erythromycin (52.94%), tetracycline (76.47%), ceftazidime (41.17%), cefixime (35.29%), penicillin (76.47%), ampicillin (58.82%) and nalidixic acid (41.17%). examination of the herbal extracts showed that the highest maximum inhibitory concentration (mic) against drug resistant e. coli was 200 ppm. ...

New fungal SMs (SMs) have been successfully described to be produced by means of in vitro-simulated microbial community interactions. Co-culturing of fungi has proved to be an efficient way to induce cell-cell interactions that can promote the activation of cryptic pathways, frequently silent when the strains are grown in laboratory conditions. Filamentous fungi represent one of the most divers...

BACKGROUND Predator-prey models for virus-host interactions predict that viruses will cause oscillations of microbial host densities due to an arms race between resistance and virulence. A new form of microbial resistance, CRISPRs (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) are a rapidly evolving, sequence-specific immunity mechanism in which a short piece of invading viral DNA ...

This culture collection contains only non-pathogenic microorganisms contains information on strain names and special application of the particular microorganisms. This collection specializes in microorganisms valued for industrial applications, includes many patented microbes, and the company also provides oilfield and environmental services. This database provides a large set of industrial mic...

The use of herbal products in the prevention of the growth of pathogens have been widely studied. Problems in the treatment of infections caused by resistant strains of fungi are indicator of the need for a more in-detailed study of herbal remedies. Artemisia aucheri is used as a medicinal plant with anti-microbial properties, and as an astringent. Plant tissue culture is an important technique...

520 efficient. One strain could barely grow at P concentration below 1 μM; this strain could have difficulty colonizing P-deficient soils or normal rhizospheres. Large differences in tolerance to low P among strains may be agronomically important. The technique could be simplified for routine screening of strains; and its operation at submicromolar concentrations could be improved for research ...

Microbial spoilage of fish is attributed to quorum sensing (QS)-based activities. QS a communication process between the cells in which microorganisms secrete and sense specific chemicals (autoinductors, AIs) that regulate proteolysis, lipolysis, biofilm formation. These activities change organoleptic characteristics reduce safety products. Although microbial community diverse may consist range...
