The essential oils were analyzed by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Their antibacterial activity was studied in vitro against three standard strains: E. coli ATCC 25922, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853, and five clinical strains: Enterobacter cloacae, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas pyocyanique, Enterococcus faecium, and E. coli. Nineteen constituents were identified in A. herba-alba essential oil representing 99.57% of the total composition The major component was α-thujone (59.07%). The bacterial strains were inhibited at concentrations ranging from 1.25 μL/mL to 5μL/mL and killed at concentrations ranging from 1.25 μL/mL to 10 μL/mL. M. pulegium resulted in the identification of eighteen constituents representing 99.48% of the total composition. The main component was pulegone (78.07%). The minimal inhibitory (MIC) and bactericidal (MBC) concentrations were ranging from 1.25 μL/mL to 2.5 μL/mL.展开更多

During the process of producing cheese, some micro organisms such as Escherichia coli, Coliform, Staphylococcus, Mold and Yeast may cause its contamination. In respect to the fact that pitcher cheese is produced in traditional way in different regions in West Azarbayjan, the aim of this research is examining the rate of contamination of pitcher cheese in West Azarbayjan. About 42 samples of pitcher cheese were gathered under strill condition from different parts of West Azarbayjan. In order to study microbes contamination, the samples were examined by standard microbiologic ways in laboratory from the 42 samples of pitcher cheese, four samples were contaminated by Staphylococcus aureus coagulase positive, 16 samples were contaminated by E. Coli, 21 samples by Coliform, 17 samples by mold and yeast. The producing and delivering should be controlled because of the rate of contamination in pitcher cheese and this kind of cheese should be produced in half industrial way by controlling and making special facilities for pitcher cheese producers.展开更多

These rabbits were divided into two groups each consisting of 12 rabbits. Two rabbits of infected untreated group died of severe disease on the 27^th & 28^th day post infection. The intestine of dead animals showed elevated lesions in the middle half portion with congestion and destruction of villar epithelium.展开更多

At the age often days, those with high IgE were given Colinfant Newborn (a lyophilized non-pathogenic strain of E. coli) for one month, three times weekly. At 15 months and three years we investigated the levels of IgE, IgA and IgG, and the incidence of illness and allergy. The results revealed that allergy and high umbilical IgE is strongly linked with family history (p 〈 0.001). We also detected differences in seasonality, especially with regards to pollen allergies. About 80% of children treated with Colinfant had significantly reduced IgE and morbidity at 13-15 months and 3 years, and furthermore without any clinical signs of allergy. Surprisingly 20% of treated children did not have reduced IgE, and yet they did not have any clinical signs of allergy. Normalization of IgA and IgG was seen in 90% of treated subjects (p 〈 0.001). These levels significantly are correlated with an almost negligible morbidity up to 4 years of life. Our study strongly suggests a positive effect of physiological E. coli on the microbiome of children as evidenced by a significantly reduced incidence of allergy and morbidity when applied early in life.展开更多

The anti-infectious efficacy of the essential oil was evaluated using a mouse peritonitis model which was infected with Staphylococcus aureus or Escherichia coli. The chemical components of the essential oil were identified.RESULTS: The results showed that the essential oil exhibited strong antibacterial activity in vitro, with MICs ranging from 22.49 to 1438.91 μg/m L. The results of in vivo anti-infectious efficacy showed that the Caoguo(Fructus Tsaoko) essential oil can protect the mice from Staphylococcus aureus or Escherichia coli infection. The compositions of the essential oil and relative component percentages were examined. A total of 32 compounds, were identified. The major compounds of essential oil were 1,8-cineole(25.92%) and geraniol(13.69%).CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that Caoguo(Fructus Tsaoko) essential oil has broad-spectrum antibacterial properties. It warrants further investigation as an antibacterial agent targeting some bacterium with multi-drug resistance.展开更多

In this paper, the total alkaloids in the traditional Chinese medicine Radix Aconiti Lateralis were extracted and applied to Eschenchia coil and Staphylococcus aureus. The effect of alkaloids on bacteda growth was studied by microcalorimetry. The power-time curves were plotted with a thermal activity monitor (TAM) air isothermal microcalorimeter and pa- rameters such as growth rate constant (p), peak-time (Trn), inhibitory ratio (I), and enhancement ratio (E) were cal- culated. The relationships between the concentration of Aconitum alkaloids and p of E. coil or S. aureus were discussed. The results showed that Aconitum alkaloids had little effect on E. coil and had a potentially inhibitory effect on the growth of S. aureus.展开更多
