background essential oils (eos) possess antibacterial properties and represent a natural source to treat infections and prevent food spoilage. their chemical composition might be affected by the environmental condition and the developmental growth stages of the plant. objectives the current study aimed to determine the variations in chemical compositions and antimicrobial activities of the eos ...

results significant differences were observed in the results of co-culture of nematodes larva and fungi after seven days. the most effective fungi against the nematodes larvae were cladosporium sp., trichoderma sp., fusarium equisetti, after seven days of incubation. materials and methods sheep feces were employed to provide the required third stage larvae source for the experiments. the nemato...

peperomia pellucida leaf extract was characterized for its anticancer, antimicrobial, antioxidant activities, and chemical compositions. anticancer activity of p. pellucida leaf extract was determined through colorimetric mtt (tetrazolium) assay against human breast adenocarcinoma (mcf-7) cell line and the antimicrobial property of the plant extract was revealed by using two-fold broth micro-di...

conclusions from the results, it was concluded that agricultural lands around pakistan council of scientific and industrial research (pcsir) campus lahore were rich sources of industrially important streptomyces, especially s. avermitilis. results the 10 selected isolates were identified as the avermectin-producing strain by fermentation and characterized on isp2 medium for aerial and reverse s...

The abundant use of anti-infective agents resulted in the emergence of drug-resistant bacteria, fungi, and viruses. To overcome the increasing resistance of pathogenic microbes, a variety of medicinal plants have been screened worldwide for their antimicrobial properties. The aim is to find new, effective antimicrobial agents with novel modes of actions. Essential oils derived from aromatic med...

Anti-infective and anticancer drugs share the serious problem that over time resistance develops to their effects leading clinical obsolescence. Research at University of Strathclyde has discovered a platform anti-infective based upon minor groove binders for DNA have exceptional resilience development in target organisms (bacteria, fungi, parasites). This property is associated with fact (S-MG...

conclusions this study indicated that some bacillus species have the potential to produce antimicrobial compounds which can be used to control microbial infections. results the identified bacillus species included b. cereus (86.6%), b. subtilis (6.6%), b. thuringiensis (3.3%), and b. pumilus (3.3%). evaluation of the antimicrobial activity of the extracted compounds was carried out against five...

background: emergence of antimicrobial resistance toward a number of conventional antibiotics has triggered the search for antimicrobial agents from a variety of sources including the marine environment. objectives: the aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial potential of holothuria leucospilota from qeshm and kharg islands against some selected bacteria and fungi. materials and met...

results analysis of the essential oil revealed the presence of pulegone (68.59%) piperitone (7.8%), piperitenone (7.8%), 1, 8-cineole (1.3%), and carvacrol (1.6%) as the major components. the results showed a significant activity against mdr a. baumannii with inhibition zones and minimal inhibitory concentration values in the ranges of 7-15 mm and 20-35 µl/ml respectively. conclusions this inve...
