the aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial activities of trachyspermum ammi, essential oil against different kinds of microorganisms by microtiter plate method. all 36 isolates of (12 klebsiella pneumoniae, 12 e.coli and 12 staphylococcus aureus) isolated from urine culture of hospitalized patients (amir al-momenin hospital, zabol, south-eastern iran) suffered from urinary tract in...

background bacterium-bacterium antagonistic interactions could be important in the ecology of marine bacteria. antimicrobial properties of microorganisms are exploited in various fields of human activities. objectives antagonism of heterotrophic bacteria from different marine environments of tropical and temperate zones was examined. materials and methods bacteria were isolated from biofilm sam...

background: calf diarrhea is an important disease that is caused by different pathogens including bacteria, virus and parasites and is associated with economic losses. objectives: in this study, we evaluated the antibacterial activities of zatacin (z. multiflora aerial part ethanol extract), colistin, co-trimoxazole and enrofloxacin against clinical isolates of salmonella sp, e. coli and campyl...

Objective(s): Phage therapy is a potential alternative treatment for infections caused by Acinetobacter baumannii, a significant nosocomial pathogen, which has evolved resistance to almost all conventional antimicrobial drugs in poor hygiene and conflicts areas such as Iraq. Materials and Methods: Bacteriophages were isolated to highly resistant isolates of A. baumannii to form therapeutic phag...

conclusions the bacterial isolates exhibited strong biofilm formation potential, while the extracts of acacia arabica significantly inhibited biofilm formation among the isolates and, therefore, could be executed in the development of cost-effective biofilm inhibitor medicines. results pseudomonas aeruginosa (kc417303-05), staphylococcus hemolyticus (kc417306), and staphylococcus hominis (kc417...

Background: Magnetic separation using magnetic nanoparticles can be used as a simple method to isolate desulfurizing bacteria from a biphasic oil/water system. Objectives: Magnetite nanoparticles were applied to coat the surface of Rhodococcus erythropolis IGTS8 and Rhodococcus erythropolis FMF desulfurizing bacterial cells, and the viability and...
