Ten plant species were collected from the Nelspruit Botanical Garden based on their uses by traditional healers in Limpopo Province of South Africa. Hexane, dichloromethane (DCM), acetone and methanolic extracts of this plants were screened for antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853, Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212 and Escherichiacoli...

Materials methods: We performed a retrospective multhicentre cogort study based surveillance data was conducted from May 2017 to December 2019. population consisted all women who had cesarean section 11 regional hospitals Definitions were used CDC/...

The multigene universal stress protein (USP) family is evolutionarily conserved. Members play indispensable roles in plant tolerance to abiotic stresses. Although relatively well-characterized in model plants, such as Arabidopsis thaliana and Oryzasativa, this family has not been investigated in Salvia miltiorrhiza, an important herbal plant for which yields can be limited by various abiotic st...

This work developed a prototype of an affordable, long-term water quality detection device that provides a visual readout upon detecting bacterial contamination. This device prototype consists of: (1) enzyme-releasing microspheres that lyse bacteria present in a sample, (2) microspheres that release probes that bind the DNA of the lysed bacteria, and (3) a detector region consisting of gold nan...

OBJECTIVE Little knowledge is available on the antimicrobial and antioxidant properties of Coccina grandis fruits and no study has reported on its cell proliferative property. The aim of this study was to examine the antimicrobial, antioxidant and cell proliferative property of fruits of C. grandis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fruits of C. grandis were extracted using water; ethanol and acetone by ...

In the present study, nineteen new fluoro-benzimidazole derivatives, including nifuroxazide analogs, were synthesized by microwave-supported reactions and tested against a panel of pathogenic microorganisms consisting of resistant strains. The synthesized compounds were characterized and identified by FT-IR, 1H- and 13C-NMR, mass spectroscopy, and elemental analyses, respectively. In vitro anti...

That the adenyl lipoate (AMP-lipoate) is the product of activation of lipoate was demonstrated by using the apopyruvate dehydrogenase system of Streptococcus jaecalis as well as Escherichiacoli. Pyruvate dismutation assay was used to demonstrate the activation of apoenzyme with either a mixture of ATP and lipoate or adenyl lipoate alone. That an active intermediate was formed was demonstrated b...

Nowadays, the use of antimicrobial natural agents as alternative food preservatives represents an intriguing case. The purpose this study was to investigate possible activity Pistacia lentiscus and Fortunella margarita essential oils (EOs) evaluate their commercial potential in industry. main constituents identified by GC/MS EO were a-pinene (67.7%), myrcene (18.8%), β-pinene (3.0%), whereas li...
