results the mean of the inhibition zone diameter around the discs of green tea extract in all concentrations was significantly less than 1% sodium hypochlorite (p < 0.001). the antimicrobial effect increased in higher concentrations of extracts of green tea (p < 0.001). conclusions although the antimicrobial effect increases in higher concentrations of extracts of green tea, 1% sodium hypochlor...

the antimicrobial effect of metal nanoparticles such as zinc oxide and silver nanoparticles has been taken into great consideration separately during recent years. the useful application of these nanoparticles in the areas of medicine, biotechnology, and professional prevention of microbes motivated us. the aim of this study was to evaluate antibacterial activity properties of silver doped zinc...

nowadays, uncontrolled and frequent use of antibiotics may cause emergence of microbial resistanceamong pathogenic agents. therefore, the use of new synthetic and natural antimicrobial compounds isinevitable. one source of natural compounds in this respect comes from plants. the purpose of this study was to examine the antibacterial effects of peel extracts from sour and sweet pomegranate. meth...

The antimicrobial activities of the ethyl acetate, acetone and methanol extract of 12 plant species were studied. The extract of Capsicum annuum (red pepper) (fruit) Zingiber officinale (ginger) (root), Cuminum cyminum (cumin), Alpinia ficinarum (galingale), Coriandrum sativum (coriander), Cinnamomun zeylanicum Nees (cinnamomun), Origanum onites L. (thyme), Folium sennae (senna), Eugenia caryop...

this paper reports on preparation of polyamide membrane with addition of silver nanoparticles (agnps). agnps act as antibacterial agents that are less susceptible to membrane’s biofouling by interfacial polymerization (ip) method. agnps was synthesized via green route which has been reported previously. attenuated total reflectance-fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (atr-ftir), field emiss...

Objective: Many species of plants present noticeable potency against human bacterial and fungal pathogens. Materials and Methods: In the current study, antimicrobial activity of the fresh fruits of 4 cultivars (A to D) of Malus domestica cultivated in the Qamsar area of Kashan, Iranwas investigated. The disk diffusion and minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) evaluation antimicrobial activity ...

conclusions the results of the present study indicate that brazilian propolis demonstrated in vitro anti-microbial efficacy against s. mutans and c. albicans. results the antimicrobial efficacy of hexidine against s. mutans and e. coli was higher compared to that of c. albicans. the brazilian propolis (p) mr showed antimicrobial action against s. mutans and c. albicans. the antimicrobial effica...

> introduction: escherichia coli is one of the important pathogens in human with global importance. because of the necessity for identification and the use of novel antibacterial compounds against e. coli , in this present study we focused on the antibacterial effects of synthesized thiazole, imidazole and tetrahydropyridine derivatives on e. coli . methods : for evaluation of antibacterial eff...

Plants or natural resources have been found to be a good alternative method for nanoparticles synthesis. In this study, polyaniline coated silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) synthesized from Piper betle leaves extract were investigated for their antibacterial activity. Silver nanoparticles were prepared from the reduction of silver nitrate and NaBH4 was used as reducing agent. Silver nanoparticles an...
