Introduction: The adequate protocol for treatment of an infection is often determined on the basis minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) causative organism. Traditional methods (agar dilution, microbroth and gradient diffusion) are labour intensive time consuming (they usually take over 48 hours to report results). On other hand, automated systems (VITEK™, Phoenix™, MicroScan WalkAway™) rapid ...

Purpose: To evaluate the antimicrobial and resistance-reversal activities of seven phenothiazine derivatives against one standard methicillin-sensitive and ten methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains originating from human infections. Methods: Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of the compounds were determined by agar dilution method, and synergy between phenothiazines a...

Objective: In traditional medicine, the Pulicaria species are used for various disorders such as inflamed wounds, skin diseases, and bronchitis. This study investigated antibacterial effect of five in Turkey; (Pulicaria (P) arabica (L.) Cass., P. dysenterica Bernh., odora Reichb., sicula Moris, vulgaris Gaertn.) against certain significant pathogenic gram-negative gram-positive reference bacter...

OBJECTIVE this study designed to test the antibacterial potency of enrofloxacin (ENR) and essential oils from Zataria multiflora Boiss (ZEO) and Trachyspermum copticum (TEO) on Aeromonas hydrophila. MATERIAL AND METHODS The antibacterial potency of test compounds was determined by several methods including the inhibition zone diameter determination, microbroth dilution method and colorimetric...

The present study was designed to determine the interplay of efflux protein inhibitors on antibacterial activity and pharmacokinetics enrofloxacin in chicken. Capsaicin theobromine were used as inhibitors. Birds weighing about 1.5 2.0 kg allocated 3 groups six at random. Group I served control, whereas II III birds coad ministered with capsaicin along enrofloxacin. plasma levels determined by H...

The objective was to describe and compare antimicrobial resistance patters of esculin-hydrolyzing streptococci streptococcal-like organisms (Streptococcus uberis, Enterococcus faecium, faecalis, Lactococcus garvieae, lactis) from routine diagnostic samples the udder health laboratory Bavarian Animal Health Services between 2015 2019. All Services, that were tested with a standard microbroth dil...

Abstract Legionella pneumophila, a Gram-negative bacillus, is the causative agent of Legionnaire’s disease, form severe community-acquired pneumonia. Infection can have high morbidity, with proportion patients requiring ICU admission, and up to 10% mortality, which exacerbated by lack efficacy typical empirical antibiotic therapy against spp. The fastidious nature entire Legionellaceae family h...
