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...

The Ethanolic extract of "Hadrabi" powder was tested for antimicrobial activites against gram positive organisms-Staphylococus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Clostridium perfringens and gram negative organisms-Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella paratyphi -B, Escherichia coli & Klebsiella pneumoniae Significant antimicrobial activity of the extract was found in this study at the dose of 1250 mg.

background: methicillin resistant staphylococus aureus (mrsa) is a cause of ‎nosocomial infections at intensive care unit (icu), which imposes a high mortality and ‎morbidity on the health care systems.‎ the objective of this study was to evaluate the role of mrsa in patients with clinically ‎suspected ventilator associated pneumonia (vap) in toxicological icu admitted ‎patients.methods: this c...

Bakteri Staphylococus aureus merupakan bakteri patogen dan dapat menyebabkan infeksi mulai dari kulit ringan sampai dengan sistemik. Sebagian besar pada awal mulanya peka terhadap penisilin, namun setelah meluasnya penggunaan penisilin ditemukan 65% 85% menghasilkan beta laktamase sehingga menjadi resisten G. Hal tersebut diatas mendorong pengobatan alternatif yang aman tidak menimbulkan resist...

Sacroilitis is an inflammatory disease, which is often caused by Brucella species (mainly by Brucella melitensis, and B. abortus), Mycobaterium tuberculosis or inflammatory diseases such as ankylosing spondilitis. It is rarely associated with Staphylococcal infections. In this report, a case of a 24-year-old sailor with a history of low back pain is presented who was initially suspected to suff...

A number of diorganotin(IV) complexes with Schiffbase have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, conductance measurements, molecular weight determinations, infrared, electronic and multinuclear magnetic resonance ((1)H, (13)C and (119)Sn NMR) spectral data. The molar conductivity data shows non-electrolytic nature of complexes. The bidentate nature of the ligands is inferred...

The objective was an assessment of the impact of Leonurus cardiaca L. extract (LCE) and ursolic acid (UA) on the adhesive properties of Staphylococus aureus NCTC 8325 strain, expressing virulence factors important in the pathogenesis of infective endocarditis. The adhesion and biofilm formation of bacteria cultured in the presence of subinhibitory concentrations of LCE or UA on the abiotic surf...

An alkaloid from Maclurodendron porteri has been isolated and characterized. Extraction process was conducted by acid-base extraction method followed by column chromatography. The structure was established by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. The compound was identified as haplophytin B which occurs commonly in the Rutaceae family. However, this is the first time th...
