Background and Objective: Diabetes mellitus is one of the main problems in health systems in the world. Diabetic Foot infections (DFI) is one of the main complications and the most cause  of non-traumatic lower limb amputation .This study aimed to determine the prevalence of bacteria involved in DFI and their antibiotic resistance in patients with DFI diagnosis. Patients and Metho...

Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for the most cases in clinical lung cancer patients. Patients with NSCLC are often diagnosed in advanced stage and frequently infected with gram-negative bacteria. Pulmonary infection with gram-negative bacteria is the most frequent postoperative complication in NSCLC patients. While accumulating evidence indicate an involvement of gram-negative bacte...

background lactoferrin is a multipurpose protein of the transferrin domestic. it is a spherical glycoprotein with a molecular weight of about 80 kda which is widely found in secretory discharges, such as milk, saliva, tear, and nasal secretions. lactoferrin is also found in secondary granules of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (pmn) and is released by some acinar cells. it also shows antibacterial...

a wide range of medicinal plant parts that possess varied medicinal properties are used for extracts as raw drugs. in this study, the ethanolic extract obtained from aerial parts of fennel (foeniculum vulgare mill.) seedlings was evaluated in vitro to examine their antimicrobial activity against four gram-negative and three gram-positive bacteria and two fungi. aerial parts of one-month-old see...

Sudarshan Churna (SC) is very potent Ayurvedic medicine ; composed of 42 medicinal plants, which is used traditionally in treatment of malaria, viral fever, and bacterial infection. The Present study was designated to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of aqueous extract of Sudarshan Churna (ASC) using the paper disc diffusion method. The ASC was found active against the gram-negative b...

Microbial contamination of water poses a major threat to public health. With the emergence of microorganisms resistant to multiple antimicrobial agents, there is increased request for promotion of disinfection methods. Since ultrasound wave (US) exhibits antibacterial activities on bacteria, the aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial effect of low frequency (37 kHz) ultrasound on P...

The chemical composition of essential oils isolated from the leaves of Cosmos bipinnatus and its antibacterial activity were analyzed by GC-MS and microbroth dilution assay respectively. The essential oil extracted from this plant was predominantly composed of monoterpenes (69.62%) and sesquiterpenes (22.73%). The antibacterial assay showed that the oil had significant inhibitory effects agains...

Some Azomethines of 5-amino isophthalic acid were synthesized and their antibacterial activity was studied in DMSO against four Gram positive Bacillus cereus ATCC11778, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC29737, Staphylococcus epidermidids NCIM2493 and Micrococcus luteus ATCC10240, and three Gram negative bacteria viz. Proteus mirabilis NCIM2241, Escherichia coli ATCC25922 and Klebsiella aerogenes NICM20...
