Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEssential Oils from The Dropped Flowers of Camellia japonica: Extraction Optimization, Chemical Profile and Antibacterial PropertyYunqi Kong, Gaochao Wang, Xinyu Wang et al.Camellia japonica is one of the most economically valuable species that can be taxonomically placed in the Theaceae family. Many horticultural varieties of C. japonica have been cultivated as ornamental trees worldwide, owing to their charming flowers. However, young C. japonica flowers usually drop in a “decapitated” form during the peak flowering stage, causing a resource waste. In this study, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 27 Jan 2021 · 6,985 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIsolation and Characterization of Chemical Constituents, Cytotoxicity, Antibacterial and Antioxidant Activity of the Compounds from Leptadenia hastata Roots Extract ByIsaac John Umaru, Hauwa A. UmaruThe aim of this work was to extract, isolate and characterise the chemical constituent from Leptadenia hastata roots. Fresh roots were washed and dried and was subjected to sequential maceration in polar and non-polar solvents. And introduced into rotary evaporator to concentrate the extract. Isolated compound was subjected to Thin Layer Chromatography and spectral analysis such as column and UV-Visible … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 24 Dec 2019 · 7,959 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntimicrobial Resistance of Campylobacter spp. and Arcobacter butzleri from Pets in MalaysiaMohammed Dauda Goni, Abdinasir Yusuf Osman, Saleha Abdul Aziz et al.The emergence of antimicrobial resistance in pets is not well understood and methods of surveillance are only beginning to be established in a few countries. The consequence of antimicrobial resistant Campylobacter and Arcobacter butzleri to public health is due to the propensity of the bacteria to swiftly acquire and disseminate resistance gene. Thus, making way for the emergence of new … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 29 Nov 2018 · 7,690 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntifungal Potential of Leptadenia Hastata Against Some Pathogenic FungiIsaac John Umaru, Fasihuddin A. Badruddin, Henry Y. Wakawa et al.The objective of this study was to evaluate if the plant extract could provide antifungal potential against some pathogenic fungi. Extract of Dichloromethane solvents was used for disc diffusion assay. The inhibitory concentration of the extract was performed by broth dilution method and zone of inhibition was studied by disc diffusion method at the concentration of 25, 50, 100, 250, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 9 Mar 2018 · 10,158 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntimicrobial Activities of Unconventional Compounds against Some Bacteria Associated with Skin Infections in Humans, Sheep and GoatsIman Shabana, Amira El-AdlyBacterial skin infections are a common problem encountered in clinical practice and causing great economic losses for sheep and goats producers. Increasing multidrug resistance of pathogens paves the way for reconsidering alternative medicine. The present study was carried out to explore the antibacterial activities of different volumes; 5, 25, 50 and 100 µL of gold nanoparticles (NPS) and the aqueous … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 11 Jan 2016 · 8,021 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEVALUATION OF ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY IN OLIVE (OLEA EUROPAEA) LEAF EXTRACTMukadderat Gökmen, Recep Kara, Levent Akkaya et al.In this study the antimicrobial activity of Olive Leaf Extracts (OLE) was screened against five gram-positive and five gram-negative bacteria. The antimicrobial activity was evaluated using disc diffusion and microdilution methods. The diameters of inhibition zones of the olive leaf extract were observed 13.33±2.08 mm against S. typhimurium and 21.67±1.53 mm against B. cereus. There was a similarity between the … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 15 Jan 2015 · 15,214 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPOTENCY OF HONEY AS ANTIBACTERIAL AGENT AGAINST MULTIPLE ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANT PATHOGENS EVALUATED BY DIFFERENT METHODSMohamed Mustafa Aween, Zaiton Hassan, Nur Huda-Faujani et al.Honey is rich with complex natural components which could be useful as antibacterial agents or as preservative. Honey contains high concentration of sugars, low amount of water, high osmolality and often dark colour which influence its antibacterial activity. Disc diffusion, well method, micro dilution assay are methods commonly used to determine the antibacterial activity of honey. In this study, microtiter … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 10 · 1 Dec 2014 · 6,564 accessesView PDFCite
