71 samples of milk and dairy products were collected from 18 cities throughout iran. 93 strains of lactic acid bacteria (lab) were isolated and assayed against four opportunistic patho gens including e. coli, proteus and klebsiella as gram-negative and s. aureus as a gram-positive organism. all indicators (organisms) were hospital strains. among isolated bacteria, lactobacilli (37 isolates) had...

the objective of the present study was to prepare controlled release formulation of moxifloxacin hydrochloride ocular nanoparticles. the nanoparticles were prepared by solvent displacement method using eudragit rl 100 as a polymer. different formulations were prepared by varying the ratios of drug and polymer and varying the ratios of organic and aqueous phase. the formulations were evaluated i...

Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra L.) is an important medicinal plant. In this study, the antimicrobial activities of ethanolic and aqueous extracts from licorice leaves were studied compared to root extracts activities. Bacillus subtilis, Enterococcus faecalis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans were used as test organisms...

background: the appearance of multi-drug resistant microorganisms is becoming a global problem. already several strategies have been employed for overcoming antibiotic resistance issue. developing new antimicrobial compounds from microbial source could be a beneficial solution. hence screening programs in order to discover new antibiotics from microbial entities is interesting. because of high ...
