The antioxidant properties and the total phenolic contents of the extract were assessed by 1, 1-Diphenyl- 2-Picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging and Folin-Ciocalteu methods, respectively. The extract showed significant antioxidant activity and antimicrobial activities against Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Candida … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 18 Mar 2013 · 10,085 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntibiogram of Bacteria Isolated from Automated Teller Machines Within Abakaliki MetropolisOkoro Nworie, Mbaba Mercy, Anyim Chukwudi et al.The Automated Teller Machine (ATMs) is likely to be contaminated with various microorganisms due to their vast dermal contact by multiple users. The metallic keypads of ATMs were examined to investigate their potentials as source of bacterial contamination and also the antibiogram of the isolated organisms. The study lasted from August, 2012 to October, 2012 involving several procedures like culturing, … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 9 Feb 2013 · 8,781 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Innate Immunity in Bovine Mastitis: The Role of Pattern-Recognition ReceptorsFernando Nogueira de Souza, Eduardo Milton Ramos Sanchez, Marcos Bryan Heinemann et al.Mastitis is the most costly disease for dairy farmers and industry, which are mainly caused by the entry of bacteria to the teat canal. Shortly after the entry of the invading bacteria, the innate immunity recognizes the invading pathogen through pattern recognition receptors and initiates the inflammatory response necessary to eliminate the invading bacteria. This initial inflammatory response releases cytokines … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 18 Oct 2012 · 10,352 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHospital Water Supply as a Potential Source of Opportunistic PathogensH. T. El-Zanfaly, N. A. Hassanean, E. M. Hassan, L. I. El-SeadawyIn Egypt as well as in many other developing countries, there are no specific standards for hospital water. Even water is free from the traditional bacterial indicators, it may represent a source of health hazards especially for elderly, children and patients under dialysis due to the presence of opportunistic pathogenic bacteria.
