Terfizia claveryi was examined for in vitro antibacterial activity using the disc diffusion, well diffusion method, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC). T. claveryi exhibited excellent antibacterial activity against all clinical isolates of corneal ulcer tested, especially against Pseudomonas aeruginosa which showed the maximum antibacterial activ...

Antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities of the essential oils of 18 plant species from Tajikistan (Central Asia) were investigated. The essential oil of Origanum tyttanthum showed a strong antibacterial activity with both minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) values of 312.5 µg/mL for E. coli, 625 µg/mL (MIC) and 1250 µg/mL (MBC...

According to biologically active compounds and traditional use of the Satureja bachtiarica, seem that this plant has significant antimicrobial effects. In this study antimicrobial effect of extracts evaluated by two methods, “Collins method” and “disk agar diffusion method” on Escherichia coli PTCC 1330 and Staphylococcus aureus PTCC 1337 microorganisms. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MI...

OBJECTIVES This study was aimed to find out the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of five essential oils against oral pathogens and to find out the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) and minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) of five essential oils against oral pathogens. MATERIALS AND METHODS The antimicrobial activities by detecting MIC and MBC/MFC of five essential oils such as ...

Pet turtles are well-known to harbor an array of bacterial pathogens which can cause zoonotic infections in humans as well as opportunistic infections in the turtles itself. Essential oils are the natural plant extracts which have been traditionally used for disease treatment. In the present study, the essential oil of lavender (EOL) was examined for its antibacterial activity against thirty-ei...

Substituted salicylaldehydes are potent antibacterial and antifungal agents and may have chemotherapeutic potential. In the clinical setting, the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) as well as the minimal bactericidal and fungicidal concentrations (MBC and MFC, respectively) are of fundamental interest. Therefore, we have now, using a panel of five microbial species (Bacillus cereus, Candida...

The wole woe plant empirically in the community Central Halmaherah district is used to treat various diseases, such as breast anticancer, cysts, vaginal discharge, diabetes mellitus, wounds, dysentery, cholesterol, and uric acid, which thought have bioactive compounds, that antibacterial compounds. Therefore, a study was conducted determine potential of ethanol extract stems against Pseudomonas...

Syzygium filiforme var. is a plant variety from dicotyledonous family (Myrtaceae). Phytochemical studies on S. stem bark have successfully isolated and characterized arjunolic acid (1), alphitolic (2), betulinic (3), ursolic (4), 3-methyl ester (5), β-sitosterol (6) stigmasterol (7). The inhibitory activities against free radical, starch, bacteria for major compounds were tested by using DPPH, ...

We report the antimicrobial activity of formylchromones. These compounds are remote structural analogues of nalidixic acid and quinolone antibiotics, and their activity was investigated by a simple micro-scale method designed for the determination of minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of drug candidates and antibiotics against aerobic bacteria and yeasts. Minimal bactericidal and fungicida...
