An outstanding feature of lactic acid bacteria, accounting for their wide utilization in dairy, meat and vegetable fermentations, is their inhibitory activity against a variety of food-spoilage micro-organisms (Bhunia e t d., 1988 ; Pucci e t dl., 1988; Sp[r]
The calculated median effective dose (ED 50 ) for the extract was 21 mg/kg body weight. The worm counts obtained from the rats given doses of 10 mg/kg, 13 mg/kg, 16 mg/kg, 20 mg/kg and 25 mg/kg ranged from 10~45, 9~28, 4~28, 12~18 and 3~12 re[r]

Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) is a common complication of advanced lung cancer. Research has shown that secreted phosphoprotein-1 (SPP1) is essential in MPE associated with lung cancer. This retrospective study was performed to evaluate the prognostic significance of SPP1 in the MPE of patients w[r]
Mastitis is one of the major factors obstructing the progress of the dairy industry. The use of antibiotics has been related with antibiotic-resistant pathogens. Consequently, several studies have been done in order to find natural alternatives. One of these alternatives is propolis which has been i[r]
Our previous publications and the data presented here provide evidences on the ability of plantbased culture media to optimize the cultivability of rhizobacteria and to support their recovery from plant-soil environments. Compared to the tested chemically-synthetic culture media (e.g. nutrient agar[r]
The aim of this study was to determine the antioxidant and antibacterial property of Nelumbo nucifers (lotus) leaf extract. Total phenolic content and DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1- picrylhydrozyl) scavenging methods were used to evaluate the antioxidant property of crude extract.
The study was carried out with the objective of evaluating the antimicrobial susceptibility profile and antagonist activity of lactic acid bacteria of the genus Streptococcus and Enterococcus isolated from artisanal coalho cheese produced in the Sertão region of the State of Paraíba. 29 strains were[r]
Multidrug-resistant bacterial strains are becoming a serious problem. Therefore, the application of natural antimicrobial agents from plant extracts combined with antibiotics to overcome this problem is of major importance. The antimicrobial activity of five plants (Rosemary, Marjoram, Mint, Dill an[r]
Microbes are the sources of many food poisoning cases, usually due to improperly processed food and fruit juice separation by hand or juice mill. It is now commonly accepted that fruit juice consumption is a risk factor for infection with enteric pathogens. The trouble begins when certain bacteria a[r]
Filter-binding assay ATP-binding activity was determined by a filter-binding assay as previously described [53]. IRP-1 (0.5–1 l g) was incubated with 100 n m [ 32 P]ATP[ a P] (Perkin Elmer Can- ada, Woodridge, ON, Canada; 3000 Ci Æ mmol ) 1 ) at room temperature for 30 min in 20 l L <[r]
As plants have substances of medicinal values, they are used to treat number of diseases since long time. They had minimal or less side effect on human beings. In the present study, the antimicrobial and antioxidant properties of the flower extract of Nerium oleander was evaluated as a remedy for pa[r]
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common bacterial infections encountered in clinical practice. The knowledge of etiology and antibiogram of uropathogens helps in starting empirical treatment till the results of antibiotic susceptibility is awaited. Therefore this two year retrospe[r]
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with clinical deterioration, stroke and disability in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluated cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)-derived determinants for the occurrence of AF in patients with HCM.
OA by itself did not disrupt the association of tubulin carboxypeptidase with microtubules (Fig. 5), and the inac- tive OA analogue 1-nor-okadaone also had no effect on this association (Figs 1 and 2). These observations suggest that the effect of OA on the[r]
In order to develop new larvicidal agents derived from phytochemicals, the larvicidal activity of fifty molecules that are constituent of essential oils was evaluated against Culex quinquefasciatus Say.
