Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntibacterial Activity of Skin Secretion of Bleeding Toad Leptophryne cruentata and Javan Tree Frog Rhacophorus margaritiferI Made Artika, Sabrina Pinontoan, Mirza Dikari KusriniBacterial resistance towards antibiotics has increased morbidity, mortality and health-care costs. Therefore, it is important to search for new types of antibacterial agents. This study was aimed to test antibacterial activity of epinephrine-stimulated skin secretions derived from two species of Anura endemic in Indonesia, the bleeding toad Leptophryne cruentata and the javan tree frog Rhacophorus margaritifer. The filter-sterilized skin secretions … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 7 Jul 2015 · 7,628 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY EVALUATION OF 15 EUCALYPTUS SPECIES ESSENTIAL OILS AGAINST CLINICALLY RELEVANT PATHOGENIC BACTERIADias C., V. Pereira, M.C.B.M. De Vasconcelos et al.This study aims to evaluate the potential of 15 Eucalyptus species essential oils as alternatives to clinical surface disinfectants with known association to antibiotic resistance. Four reference pathogenic bacteria were tested: Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC10145), Escherichia coli (CECT434), Staphylococcus aureus (CECT976) and Listeria monocytogenes (ATCC15313). Gram-positive bacteria revealed higher sensitivity than Gram-negative. Essential oils from E. bosistoana, E. botryoides, E. camaldulensis, … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 22 Apr 2015 · 7,924 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 · 15,218 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEndotoxin Activity Assay: An Experience of a Southern-Italy HospitalLinda Degl’Innocenti, Flaviano Di Paola, Rizzo Marianna, Gerardino AmatoEndotoxin activity assay is a novel and rapid test capable of differentiating Gram-negative sepsis from infections carried by other bacteria. The test, moreover, represents a useful tool in the management of the septic patient. We show the data collected during a 6-year period experience, related to samples from septic patients admitted in ICU; for each patient we performed an EAA … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 5 Jan 2015 · 7,168 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStructural Characterization at the Atomic Level of a Molecular Nano-Machine: The State of the Art of Helicobacter Pylori Flagellum OrganizationIvana Pulić, Valentina Loconte, Giuseppe ZanottiMotility is fundamental for success in colonization and survival of the human pathogen H. pylori, the bacterium that colonizes about half of the human population. Motility is achieved through flagella. In this review the present structural knowledge about the organization of H. pylori flagella is summarized, considering not only the structure of its proteins, but also what is known about … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 12 Nov 2014 · 8,315 accessesView PDFCite
