Four new para-benzoquinone containing abietane-type diterpenoids (1-4) along with thirteen known diterpenoids (5-17) were isolated from the roots of Plectranthus punctatus. The structures of the compounds were established by detailed spectroscopic analyses and comparison with literature data. The compounds were tested for their antibacterial and cytotoxic activity and showed significant inhibit...

Methods A total of 219 patients with refractory NMIBC were prospectively enrolled at tertiary academic center over period of Feb 2009-Jan 2012 & followed for next 3 yrs. They were randomly assigned to either of treatment arms: Gentamycin & mitomycin C (group A) or mitomycin C (group B). All patients underwent a 6-week induction regimen followed by a monthly maintenance regimen for one year if t...

Of 185 vaginal and 13 wound swabs obtained from febrile females after delivery and abortions, 140 (75.6%) vaginal and 10 (76.9%) wound swabs were positive for bacteria. Infection caused by a single bacterium was found in 100 (71.4%) and mixed infection in 40 (28.5%). E. coli was mainly isolated followed by Staph. aureus and Klebsiella. Fosfomycin was the most effective antibiotic against E. col...

The activity of 29 antimicrobial agents was tested against 95 strains of Campylobacter fetus subsp. jejuni isolated from human stools. Furazolidone and gentamycin were the most active agents. The tetracyclines, erythromycin, and chloramphenicol were very active against most of the strains, but with each antibiotic a few resistant strains were found. The penicillins were relatively inactive, and...

Concentrations of human lysozyme (HL) in serum and urine are usually determined by measuring bacteriolytic activity. Several compounds interfere with the bacteriolytic action of lysozyme. In vitro studies have shown the inhibiting effects of substances like heparin (Kaiser, 1953), hyaluronic acid, DNA, and RNA (Skarnes and Watson, 1955), and aminoglycosides (neomycin, gentamycin, streptomycin) ...

Pathogenic E.coli (61%) and Rotavirus(7%) were found in diarrhoeal stools of children. Amongst pathogenic E. coli enteropathogenic E. coil was mainly isolated which was sensitive to gentamycin. Infection due to pathogenic E. coil and Rotavirus was more among males upto one year of age (JPMA 35:326, 1985). INTRODUCTION E. coli and Rotavirus have been frequently found in infantile diarrhoea. The ...
