conclusions regarding the natural therapeutic effects of pistachio skin extract and obligations of the routine antibiotics such as resistancy, using pistachio extract as a co-therapeutical agent with ordinary antibiotics can enhance the success rate of the treatment. background in spite of many advantages of modern medicine in comparison with traditional treatments, chemical therapeutic agents ...

Biochemical confirmation of salmonellae by conventional tube methods usually requires 2 to 3 days of incubation time preceded by preparation of tubed media and transfer of cultures. The principles of heavy inocula and increased substrate concentrations have been used by Sanders et al. (1) to speed up reaction times and thus reduce the time necessary in the laboratory for analysis. To characteri...

conclusions thirty-three bacterial strains; 10 strains of e. coli, 10 strains of s. flexneri, 3 strains s. sonnei, 2 strains of s. serovar newport, and 7 strains of p. aeruginosa, were isolated and identified from nile water and ground water in sohag governorate. the prevalence of enteric bacteria in water sources in studying area was considerable. no clear or distinct correlation could be conc...

introduction: the aim of this study was to compare the antimicrobial effects of mtad, sodium hypochlorite (naocl) and their combination on endodontic micro-organisms. materials and methods: zone of inhibition (zi) and minimum inhibitory concentration (mic) were the techniques used. in zi technique blood agar plates were inoculated with organisms, paper discs were soaked with irrigants and maxim...

Enteric viruses encounter a multitude of environments as they traverse the gastrointestinal tract. The interaction of enteric eukaryotic viruses with members of the host microbiota impacts the outcome of infection. Infection with several enteric viruses is impaired in the absence of the gut microbiota, specifically bacteria. The effects of bacteria on virus biology are diverse. Poliovirus capsi...

Six major groups of enteric bacteria, viz, Faecal coliforms, E. coli, Shigella spp., Salmonella spp., Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio cholerae were screened for the present study. The overall percentage occurrence of enteric bacteria in water and sediment was maximum accounted for Vibrio parahaemolyticus (81.7%) and minimum for Salmonella spp. (9.6%) and moderate reported against Vibrio chol...

Intestinal bacteria aid host health and limit bacterial pathogen colonization. However, the influence of bacteria on enteric viruses is largely unknown. We depleted the intestinal microbiota of mice with antibiotics before inoculation with poliovirus, an enteric virus. Antibiotic-treated mice were less susceptible to poliovirus disease and supported minimal viral replication in the intestine. E...

In the course of an investigation of the use of infrared spectrophotometry for bacterial identification (Stevenson and Bolduan, 1952; Levine et al., 1953b), it has been found that a characteristic set of absorption bands appears in the spectra of Enterobacteriaceae and other bacteria under certain cultural conditions. Since this set of bands is common to many organisms, it is important in ident...
