Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEvaluation on Antibacterial Activity of Lactobacillus acidophilus Strains Isolated from HoneyMohamed Mustafa Aween, Zaiton Hassan, Belal J. Muhialdin et al.Problem statement: This study reports the isolation of lactic acid bacteria from 13 honey samples produced in Malaysia, Libya and Saudi Arabia and their antibacterial activity against three Gram negative pathogenic bacteria. Approach: A modified MRS agar with 0.8% CaCO3 and MRS with 1% glucose was found to facilitate isolation of LAB compared to MRS, tomato juice agar and modified … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 6 · 14 Mar 2012 · 11,372 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProduction of an Achillea millefolium (Yarrow) Toothpaste to Combat Gum and Tooth PainMunashe K. F. Chakamanga, Ashley Kumalo K, Dirk Hamadziripi MGum inflammation also known as gingivitis is primarily caused by the accumulation of dental plaque that forms on teeth. The inflammation triggers pain in the gums and surrounding tissues due to increased blood flow and immune activity aimed at combating the bacterial infection. Thus, this study was carried out to investigate the efficacy of Yarrow-based toothpaste in reducing gum inflammation. … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 4 · 9 Oct 2026 · 420 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMultidrug Resistant Microorganisms (MDR) and Biofilm Producers: A Challenge for Hospital Infectious ControlDaniel Lucio, Elizabeth Proaño, Alberto Bustillos et al.Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) now represents a major threat to contemporary health care, especially in hospitals, where repeated antimicrobial exposure selects for and facilitates the dissemination of Multidrug-Resistant (MDR) microorganisms. Biofilm growth adds another layer of persistence by increasing microbial tolerance, supporting long-term colonization of medical devices, and worsening clinical and economic outcomes. This narrative review synthesizes evidence on MDR biofilm-forming … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 12 Sep 2026 · 774 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy of Ageratum conyzoides L. (Asteraceae) Phytochemical Composition as Quorum-sensing Inhibitors to Combat Antibiotic-resistant Bacterial InfectionsEli Compaoré, Lassané Ouedraogo, Ablassé Rouamba et al.The rise of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections has intensified the search for plant-derived quorum-sensing (QS) inhibitors as alternative therapeutic strategies. Ageratum conyzoides L. has a long history of traditional use as an antimicrobial agent against multidrug-resistant pathogens, yet the phytochemical basis of its QS-inhibitory activity remains incompletely characterized. This study aimed to investigate the phytochemical composition of A. conyzoides and evaluate … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 1 · 3 Apr 2026 · 1,772 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Analysis of Surface Microhardness and Antimicrobial Activity of Conventional and Bioactive Composite Materials for Dental RestorationsBruno Fongaro Dalbosco, Rafael da Silva Vanolli, Poliana Maria de Faveri Cardoso et al.This study evaluated the fluoride release capability, antimicrobial activity, and surface microhardness of bioactive composite resins, critical properties for the effectiveness and durability of dental materials in restorative procedures. Conventional and bioactive composite resins with varying viscosities were tested. Specimens of each resin type were prepared and stored in physiological saline solution for 24 hours to simulate oral conditions. Surface … …Current Research in Dentistry, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 29 Jan 2026 · 2,809 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization of Hydrodistillation Extraction by Response Surface Methodology and Evaluation of the Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Activities of Essential Oils from Phragmites communis (Cav) TrinXin-Tong Zou, Hong-Yuan Ma, Yu-He Li et al.The principal objectives of this study encompass three distinct aspects: firstly, to streamline the extraction process of Phragmites communis (Cav) Trin essential oil; secondly, to systematically analyze the essential oil’s chemical composition; and finally, to evaluate biological activity. Through the system optimization experiment, the optimal extraction process was determined: the crushing size was set to 10 mesh, the total solid-liquid … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 3 · 6 Jan 2026 · 2,315 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhytochemical Composition, Antibacterial, and Antioxidant Properties of Foeniculum vulgare Essential OilSaif M. Dmour, Saqr Abushattal, Sultan Ayesh Mohammed Saghir et al.This study intended to inspect the phytochemical composition and bioactivity of Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) Seed Essential Oil (FSEO) from Jordan. The EO was extracted via hydrodistillation from air-dried samples with 4.42% (v/w) yield. Twenty compounds, constituting around 98.5% of the EO were identified using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). Estragole (47.15%) and Anethole (36.2%), appeared as predominant oxygenated monoterpenes compounds in … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 3 · 1 Aug 2025 · 4,638 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImpact of Multiplex PCR Panel on Reducing Broad-Spectrum Antibiotic Use in Ventilator-Associated PneumoniaMaría Inés Staneloni, Emilio F. Huaier Arriazu et al.The extended use of broad-spectrum antimicrobials contribute to the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance. This study evaluated the impact of a multimodal strategy aiming at reducing the duration of broad-spectrum antimicrobial therapy in Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP). Conducted in a single Intensive Care Unit (ICU), this quasi-experimental, retrospective study compares a pre-intervention period (08/01/2018-07/01/2019) with an intervention period (08/01/2022-07/01/2023).
