Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection is a global health problem that needs to be answered by developing synthetic or natural antibacterial overcome the problem. The honey pineapple peel contains potentially compounds such as bromelain and flavonoid. This study aims determine activity of extract (Ananas comosus [L] Merr.) against MRSA. design this was true experimental wi...

The aim of this study was to determine the antibacterial activity Cathormion umbellatum extracts against seven antibiotic-resistant bacteria. pods, leaves and branches C. were extracted with ethanol methanol. disc diffusion assay used screen broth microdilution colorimetric measure minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) bactericidal (MBC) values. result indicated that highest inhibition zone (1...

607 Abstract: In this study; inhibitory and bactericidal activities of cefoperazone + sulbactam against Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains were determined in two studies first in 1992 and second in 1994. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) values were determined by following the microdilution method recommended by NCCLS (Approved Standard M7-A2 1990) ...

Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) is widely cultivated and used as a culinary spice. In this work, the chemical composition of the essential oil obtained by hydrodistillation of fennel seeds was analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCeMS), and 28 components were identified. Trans-anethole (68.53%) and estragole (10.42%) were found to be the major components. The antibacterial activ...

The aim of this study was to assess the in vitro antimicrobial effects of chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX), polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHBM), and octenidine dihydrochloride (OCT) on cariogenic microorganisms by using their minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC). CHX, PHBM, and OCT were diluted in distilled water to the final test concentrations. Usi...

Introduction: Streptococcus sanguinis is a facultative anaerobic Gram-positive bacteria known as pioneer that plays role in creating the biofilm oral cavity. Strawberry fruit (Fragaria x ananassa) an edible widely used for study their active compound synergy to improve health. This aims analyse antibacterial activity of strawberry against S. (ATCC 10556). Methods: An explorative was conducted w...

In-vitro antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of various concentrations ranging from 150 to 500 μg/ml of alcoholic (methanol and ethanol) extracts of Rumex dentatus were analyzed on different clinical bacterial strains (Shigella flexneri, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhimurium, Staphylococcus aureus) and fungal strains (Aspergillus versicolor...

Background Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant and Escherichia coli, multidrug-resistant included in the list of antibiotic-resistant priority pathogens from WHO. As multidrug-resistant bacteria problem is increasing, it is necessary to probe new sources for identifying antimicrobial compounds. Medicinal plants represent a rich source of antimicrobial agents. One of the potential plant...

The antimicrobial activities of 56 Palestinian medicinal plants against etiologic agents of acne vulgaris, mainly Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus aureus was studied using disc diffusion and broth dilution methods. The results from the disc diffusion method demonstrated that these plants differ significantly in their activity against the studied microorganisms. The most active plants ...
