nowadays, uncontrolled and frequent use of antibiotics may cause emergence of microbial resistanceamong pathogenic agents. therefore, the use of new synthetic and natural antimicrobial compounds isinevitable. one source of natural compounds in this respect comes from plants. the purpose of this study was to examine the antibacterial effects of peel extracts from sour and sweet pomegranate. meth...

Terfizia claveryi was examined for in vitro antibacterial activity using the disc diffusion, well diffusion method, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC). T. claveryi exhibited excellent antibacterial activity against all clinical isolates of corneal ulcer tested, especially against Pseudomonas aeruginosa which showed the maximum antibacterial activ...

Propolis has traditionally been used in curing infections and healing wounds and burns. Current researches have shown that propolis has antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral actions however, the pharmacological activity of propolis is highly variable depending on its geographic origin. There have been few studies on the effects of Iranian propolis on the oral microorganisms. In this in-vitro ...

enoxolone is a major component of a traditional plant called licorice. this substance has been found to contain some pharmaceutical properties including of both antiviral and antifungal activities. microbiological studies have identified more than seven periodontopathogens in the periodontal pockets, which less than 4 species were capnophile. the purpose of this study was to investigate the in ...

The in vitro antibacterial and antibiofilm activity of chlorogenic acid against clinical isolates of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia was investigated through disk diffusion, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC), time-kill and biofilm assays. A total of 9 clinical S. maltophilia isolates including one isolate resistant to trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (TM...

Staphylococcus aureus is an important pathogen and produces a widespread infection. Increasing usage of antibiotic for staphylococcus aureus infections has created antibiotic resistance and subsequently new antibiotics should be produceed. Medicinal herbs with antimicrobial activity have had important roles in traditional medicine. The purpose of this study was to determine the antibacterial ac...

Increasing bacterial resistance to commercial antibiotics has led to considering medicinal herb applications. This study aimed to identify chemical composition of essential oil of some native medical herbs and their antibacterial activity against Yersinia ruckeri compared with Enrofloxacin in in vitro experiments. The antibacterial activities of ethanolic extracts and essential oils of Eryngium...

The emergence of multidrug-resistant strains of Acinetobacter baumannii (MDRAB) constitutes a serious threat to public health and necessitates the discovery of new types of antimicrobial agents. Alyteserin-1c (GLKEIFKAGLGSLVKGIAAHVAS·NH(2)) is a cationic, α-helical peptide that was first isolated from skin secretions of the midwife toad Alytes obstetricans. Synthetic alyteserin-1c displayed pot...
