The anti-peroxyl radical quality of two aqueous rooibos infusions and solutions of their most abundant glycosylated polyphenols was evaluated using pyrogallol red and fluorescein-based oxygen radical absorbance ratios. It was observed that the artificial infusions, prepared using only the most abundant polyphenols present in rooibos and at concentrations similar to those found in the natural in...

Post-transcriptional control by small regulatory RNA (sRNA) is critical for rapid adaptive processes. sRNAs can directly modulate mRNA degradation in Proteobacteria without interfering with translation. However, Firmicutes have a fundamentally different set of ribonucleases for mRNA degradation and whether sRNAs can regulate the activity of these enzymes is an open question. We show that Bacill...

In the present investigation, we studied the effect of alcoholic extract of Moringa oleifera (M. oleifera) seed kernels on various experimental models of bronchial asthma. Significant (P < 0. 05) increase in preconvulsion time was observed due to pretreatment with M. oleifera when the guinea pigs were exposed to either acetylcholine (Ach) or histamine aerosol. This bronchodilating effect of M. ...

Staphylococcus aureus is bacteria identified in the root canal of infected teeth by 20%, resistant and isolated from secondary treatment. NaOCl 2.5%has toxic properties causes irritation when pushed into periapical tissue. Green okra fruit (GOF) extract has antibacterial metabolite compound i.e.flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, tannins terpenoids. This research was carried out to determine inhib...

Background and objectives: The majority of the Achillea spp. are used as medicinal plants with therapeutic applications worldwide. Achillea aucheri was selected in our study to assess its essential oil chemical composition along with antimicrobial evaluation. Methods: The essential oil of A. aucheri achieved ...

Linezolid, the first oxazolidinone to be used clinically, is effective in the treatment of infections caused by various Gram-positive pathogens, including multidrug resistant enterococci and methicillin-resistant Staphylococus aureus. It has been used successfully for the treatment of patients with endocarditis and bacteraemia, osteomyelitis, joint infections and tuberculosis and it is often us...

Introduction: An abscess is pathological, pus-filled cavity caused by mixedbacterial infection. Bacteria that a role in the process, namely Staphyloccocusaureus. Treatment of abscesses usually antibiotics. Abscesses byStaphylococcus aureus appears to be resistant antibiotics, alternative needed utilizing herbal plants such as garlic. Garlic has active ingredientallicin antibacterial. Objective:...
