Objective: In this study, antimicrobial activities of an ethanol extract of Tribulus terrestris aloneand in combination with Capsella bursa-pastoris and Glycyrrhiza glabra were examined in vitro against six pathogens namely Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus sanguis, Actinomyces viscosus, Enterococcus faecalis Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli. Materials and methods: Antibacterial ac...

The in vitro antibacterial activity of ginger (Zingiber officinale) essential oil (GEO) was tested against five Gram-negative and Gram-positive fish pathgenic bacteria isolated from farmed olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) in Korea. According to the results of disk diffusion, minimum inhibitory and minimum bactericidal concentration (MIC and MBC) tests, GEO was active against most of the ...

Minimum inhibitory concentrations of lactic acid bacteria and other antagonist microorganisms isolated from natural sources Kaliningrad region (soil, water bodies, plant objects) were determined. It was shown that the minimum concentration Pediococcus pentosaceus metabolites against Escherichia coli is 1.5·107 CFU/ml; Pseudomonas chlororaphis have no effect test strain under study . found damno...

Stem end rot is the most destructive disease caused by Alternaria alternata YZU in pitaya-growing regions of Vietnam. This study was conducted to characterize antagonistic phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) from rhizosphere soil for their biocontrol activities against A. and evaluate effect temperature, pH, water activity on that antagonism. Among seven PSB isolated 45 samples, PSB31 (identi...

objective: microorganisms are responsible for many problems in industry and medicine because of biofilm formation. therefore, this study was aimed to examine the effect of thymus vulgaris (t. vulgaris) extracts on the planktonic form and biofilm structures of six pathogenic bacteria. materials and methods: antimicrobial activities of the plant extracts against the planktonic form of the bacteri...

use of herbal extracts and essences as natural antibacterial compounds has become increasingly popular for the control of oral infectious diseases. therefore, finding natural antimicrobial products with the lowest side effects seems necessary. the present study sought to assess the effect of punica granatum l. water extract on five oral bacteria and bacterial biofilm formation on orthodontic wi...

an ability of the fluorescent pseudomonad bacteria is to secrete such secondary metabolites as hydrogen cyanide, protease, salicylic acid as well as siderophore which prevent the growth of soil-habitant pathogens. tests were done for evaluating the materials produced by the said bacteria. in the tests' cultures, p. aeruginosa strains 7nsk2, utpf92, and utpf86 produced the most hydrogen cya...
