The objectives of this research were to validate the sensitivity and precision of an in vitro assay for evaluating the efficacy of antimicrobials, to evaluate the ability of natural animal proteins/peptides to kill in vitro antibiotic-resistant, as well as, -susceptible bacteria, and to determine the effects of key components of animal digesta (e.g., pH, mineral content, and proteolytic digesti...

The antibacterial activity of ethanolic and aqueous crude extracts from 36 plants in Turkey, including seven endemic species, against fish pathogens was studied using the disc diffusion assay. The extract that was most active against all microbial strains, except Aeromonas salmonicida, was that of Dorycnium pentaphyllum. Some of the extracts also showed a very broad spectrum of potent antimicro...

Cockroaches are surrogate hosts for microbes that cause many human diseases. In spite of their generally destructive nature, cockroaches have recently been found to harbor potentially beneficial and medically useful substances such as drugs and allergens. However, genomic information for the American cockroach (Periplaneta americana) is currently unavailable; therefore, transcriptome and gene e...

New sulfonamide and amide derivatives containing coumarin moieties; oxo-2H-chromen-sulfamoylphenylacetamides and oxo-2H-chromen-arylacetamides were synthesized starting from diverse 2-chloroacetamide derivatives and a wide range of coumarins. The structures of compounds were elucidated by IR and NMR spectra and also analytical elemental analysis. In the next step, the above mentioned compounds ...

Objective: The present study was undertaken to evaluate in-vitro antimicrobial activity of methanol, acetone and N, N-dimethylformamide extracts from leaf of Terminalia catappa L. (Combretaceae). Methods: In vitro antimicrobial activity of all the extracts was done by agar disc diffusion assay. 91 clinically important strains were used for the study, which were both clinical isolates as well as...

conclusions the clinical klebsiella strains isolated from lahore region, pakistan exhibited resistance to most commonly used antibiotics, which can be a serious threat to public health. the study reported some potential actinomycetes strains, which exhibit promising activity against multidrug resistant klebsiella strains. results the isolated klebsiella strains showed resistance against most of...

Inexpensive and rapid bacterial detection and antimicrobial susceptibility assays are desperately needed, as the determination of which antibiotic to use and its administration at effective dosages is critical. Currently, the assessment of antimicrobial susceptibility takes 24 to 48 hours. Hence, we have developed a nanoparticle-based antimicrobial susceptibility assay, utilizing the Concanaval...

Antimicrobial activity of different culture extract of Oudemansiella sp grown on liquid medium (MYGP) were tested. Different fungi (C. albicans, C. lipolytica, Saccharomyces cervisiea, Cladosporium herbarum, and Aspergillus niger) and bacteria (Microccocus luteus, E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Staphylococcus epidermidis) were used as test organisms. Various antimicrobial assay metho...
