Streptococcus agalactiae (GBS) cause severe infections in newborns under three months. Meningitis, pneumonia and sepsis are the main infectious diseases in these children. These infections are among the most serious that an individual can suffer in h...
Three new prenylated furoquinoline alkaloids named lecomtequinoline A (), B (), and C (), together with the known compounds anhydroevoxine (), evoxine (), dictamnine (), methylflindersine (), evoxanthine (), hesperidin, lupeol, -sitosterol, stigmaste...
The fast development of multi-drug resistant (MDR) organisms increasingly threatens global health and well-being. Plant natural products have been known for centuries as alternative medicines that can possess pharmacological characteristics, includin...
PURPOSE: To describe, in patients treated for infectious keratitis, the microorganisms identified and their antibiotic susceptibility over a period of 18 months.
The aim of this study was to determine antibacterial activity of L. leaves extract foodborne pathogens. All the foodborne pathogens were inhibited after treating with extract in disk diffusion test with range 6.67 ± 0.58-9.67 ± 0.58 mm of inhibitio...
UNLABELLED: Nitric oxide (NO) is an endogenous molecule with many critical biological functions that depend on its concentration. At high levels, NO provides broad-spectrum antibacterial effects through both its pathogen inhibition and killing abilit...
