Plants with an established history of medicinal uses were tested against various microorganisms in this study. We compared the antibacterial activity of methanol, ethanol, and water extracts of three plant species, including Origanum syriacum, Thymus vulgaris, and Carica papaya, which commonly grow in open habitats or mountainous areas with well-drained soil. The methanol and ethanol extracts o...

In this study, we evaluate the olfactory responses of Mahanarva spectabilis adults to aqueous extracts from following non-host plants for pest insect: garlic (Allium sativum L.), rue (Ruta graveolens cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum J. Presl), lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus Stapf.), clove (Syzygium aromaticum star anise (Illicium Hook.f), eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus Labill.), tobacco (Nicotiana ...

The objective of present investigation was to determine antimicrobial activity of Thymus vulgaris oil on some oral pathogens. Thymus vulgaris oil was prepared by hydrodistillation and tested against 30 clinical isolates of each of Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus mutans, Candida albicans, Porphyromonas gingivalis, and Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, prepared from related oral infect...

background & aim: in recent years using from plant product has been considered wildly as main factor for preventing pathogenic diseases cassed by attacking viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites. there are some funguses which could be the factors for affliction of some diseases in human, plants and animals. plant extracts are those which could act and be used as preventing from these diseas...

www.medigraphic.com ABSTRACT Biological activity of the distilled essential oil, ethanol extract, and infusion of thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.) was evaluated on the growth of group A ß-hemolytic Streptococcus pyogenes, the primary cause of faryngoamygdalitis. Sensitivity tests and measurements the zones of inhibition in vitro was performed. The distilled essential oil showed the greatest effect (i...

the cytotoxic activity of ethanolic extracts of thymus vulgaris, thuja orientalis and achillea millefolium was investigated on various growing tumor cell lines. mtt colorimetric assay was used for measuring the inhibition of cell proliferation. all of the three extracts showed a relatively dose-dependent inhibition of proliferation of human breast cancer (sk-br-3, mda-mb-435) and leukemia (u937...

The NorA efflux pump considered as one of the contributors to antibiotic resistance in Staphylococcus aureus strains. One of the challenges of the researchers is finding natural plant compounds with the ability to inhibit the pumps. The aim of this study was to investigate the inhibitory effect of thyme (Thymus vulgaris) extract on NorA efflux pump in ciprofloxacin-resistant strains of S. aureu...
