vinca major, minor and rosea are three species of vinca genus and apocynaceae family. the present work is to investigate antimicrobial effects of these plants against candida albicans, pseudomonas aeroginosa and staphylococus aureus. alkaloids from leaf extracts had a better effect on pseudomonas aeroginosa than alkoloids from stem and root. alkaloids from stem extracts were more effective than...

Introduction: Infection is a common complication in multiply traumatized patients with the majority being nosocomial in origin. We report a series of three patients with open fractures of lower limb which were initially debrided and stabilized with external fixation. Subsequent conversion to definitive internal fixation was performed. All three patients subsequently suffered limb loss as a resu...

The quantification of primary metabolites and antimicrobial activities of medicinal plant Gomphrena celosioides Mart. against clinical isolates, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeroginosa and Staphylococcus aureus were investigated. The maximum levels of soluble sugars, lipids and phenols were found to be higher in stem, starch and proteins in roots, as compared to other parts of the plant. The m...

background : the objectives of this study were to assess the antibiotic resistance and clonality of the bacteria isolated from patients with long- (ltc) and short-terms catheterizations (stc). methods : a total of 31 clinical staphylococcus aureus isolates were collected from loghman hospital of tehran, iran. in vitro biofilm formation ability was determined by microliter tissue culture plates....
