Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDRYING METHODS AND THEIR IMPLICATION ON QUALITY, QUANTITY AND ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY OF THE ESSENTIAL OIL OF LAURUS NOBILIS L. FROM MOROCCOKhadija Dahak, Hafida Bouamama, Fatiha Benkhalti, Moha TaourirteThe effects of various methods of drying on the chemical quality and antimicrobial activity of the essential oil of Laurus nobilis were studied. The most prominent component in the air-dried, fresh leaf and microwave-dried leaf oils is 1,8 Cineole (58,8, 35.62 and 42,9% respectively). The essential oil has undergone significant chemical transformation in its monoterpenoids when the leaves of plant … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 20 Mar 2014 · 7,550 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCHEMICAL COMPOSITION, ANTIMICROBIAL, ANTIOXIDANT AND CYTOTOXIC ACTIVITIES OF EUCALYPTUS CHAPMANIANA GROWN IN IRAQGhassan Mohammad Sulaiman, Thorria Radam Marzoog, Wasnaa Hatif Mohammed, Renzo BagnatiThe chemical composition of the essential oils extracted from immature flowers, leaves and seeds of Eucalyptus chapmaniana grown in Iraq were analyzed for the first time by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Twenty-four different compounds were identified and the predominant compound is eucalyptol, which accounted for 59.9, 55.6 and 8.6% of total compounds, respectively. To asses the possible therapeutic uses of the … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 27 Dec 2013 · 7,698 accessesView PDFCite

(UMBELLIFERAE) EXTRACTKhadija Dahak, Moha TaourirteThe importance to push scientifically the investigations on the organic extracts of the plants aromatic as potential source of new antimicrobial compounds comes from the traditional use of the plants. However, the consumption of these natural products requires à thorough research in this field. The antimicrobial effect of organic and aqueous leaves extracts of Foeniculum vulgare Mill., However, which makes … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 12 Oct 2013 · 8,671 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAntibiogram of Bacteria Isolated from Kunun-Zaki Drink Sold in Keffi MetropolisMakwin Danladi Makut, Mary Azumi Nyam, Smart Obumneme Obiekezie, Aisha Eleojo AbubakarKunun-zaki drink is a locally prepared indigenous non-alcoholic beverage that is widely produced and consumed in Nigeria. Standard microbiological methods were employed to isolate bacteria from Kunun-zaki drink sold in Keffi metropolis, Nasarawa State, Nigeria. Samples of Kunun-zaki drink were collected from ten (10) different locations and their bacteriological loads were determined in terms of total bacterial counts using standard … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 9 Sep 2013 · 8,461 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Immunogenicity of CP8, CLFA-FnBPB and CP8-CLFA-FnBPB AntigensXiuli Liu, Yongqing Hao, Shuyi Wang et al.To assess the effects of conjugating Capsular Polysaccharide (CP) with Clumping factor A (ClfA) and Fibronectin-Binding Proteins B (FnBPB) on the immunogenicity of the antigen, CP was isolated and purified from serotype 8 (CP8) Staphylococcus aureus from bovine mastitis dairy herds in Inner Mongolia and ClfA-FnBPB was produced with Escherichia coli encoding a fusion protein ClfA-FnBPB gene. The CP8-ClfA-FnBPB complete … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 30 Aug 2013 · 7,545 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification and Characterization of Antibiotic-Producing Actinomycetes IsolatesMeera Kumari, Bat-Erdene Myagmarjav, Birendra Prasad, Madhusudan ChoudharyActinomycetes are a gram-positive, filamentous subgroup of bacteria most known for antibiotic production. In fact, most of the antibiotics available today have originated from actinomycetes, namely from the genus Streptomyces. Novel bacteria with antimicrobial activities have been discovered from bacterial screen studies for decades and there is still much more yet to be unearthed. One hundred seventy five strains of … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 25 Jun 2013 · 15,437 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDifferential Banding Pattern Based Identification of Urinary Tract Infection Causing BacteriaPoulomi Nandy, Md Aftabuddin, Ashoke Ranjan Thakur, Shaon RayChaudhuriUrinary Tract Infection (UTI) affects all age groups, but women are more susceptible than men. These infections are typically caused by E coli, Proteus mirabilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterococcus fecalis and so on. Since uncultivable microbes are numerically abundant in urine samples, culture independent detection seems to be the method of choice for diagnosing UTI.
