Antibiotic Potential of Hericium and Hohenbuehelia Species
… potential. Mycelial plugs were tested against bacterial lawns of five bacterial pathogens: Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus lugdunensis, and Micrococcus luteus, with crude extracts being tested against the latter three. Multiple strains from both …

Development and evaluation of low density polyethylene-based antimicrobial food packaging films containing natural agents
… to be obtained and the effect of AM films on the bacterial inhibition in liquid media to be successfully modelled. The effects of combined AM systems in LDPE/EVA-based films were also studied. Having identified the AM activity in laboratory media, the films were then used to package Cheddar cheese …

Novel cationic polymers for use at biological interfaces
… A study of the properties of polymeric antibacterial agents, in particular polyhexamethylene biguanide, has revealed that the essential components for the design of a novel polymeric antibacterial are a balance between hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity coupled with sites of cationicity. The …

A mechanistic understanding of the postantibiotic effect and treatment strategies
… is due, in part, to the rapid pace of natural bacterial evolution, but also to the overuse and misuse of antibiotics in general. This often selects for drug-resistant pathogens, and allows them to flourish in the face of antibiotic treatment. In addition to the emergence of genetic resistance, …

Evaluation of Antibiotic Drug Synergisms Against Periodontal Aggregatibacter Actinomycetemcomitans
… actinomycetemcomitans is major putative bacterial pathogen in human periodontitis, particularly in aggressive periodontitis in younger-aged individuals. Systemic administration of certain antibiotics in combination have been demonstrated to exert synergistic antimicrobial effects against …

Improving Bioactivity and the Anti-Bacterial Properties of Two-Solution Bone Cement Containing Cross-Linked Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) Nanospheres (η-TSBC)
… recent studies (1-4) have shown that the antibacterial property of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles improved after partial or complete substitution of calcium with strontium ions. The</p> <p>goal of addition of SrHA microspheres into the η-TSBC formulation is to improve bioactivity by allowing …

CRABS & ‘CROBES: THE TRIPARTITE RELATIONSHIP OF A HOST, PARASITE, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE MICROBIOMES
… manipulation included determining a method for bacterial inhibition and testing the effects of inhibition on community diversity. For the first part of the research, infected and uninfected crab hosts were sampled from a coastal North Carolina oyster reef three times over a four-month period. …

IN VITRO ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY OF 12 COMMERCIAL MOUTHRINSE FORMULATIONS.
… study employed a modified Kirby-Bauer zone of inhibition test to comparatively examine the in vitro antimicrobial activity of 12 commercial mouthrinse formulations on a mixture of three bacterial species frequently isolated from the human tongue dorsum. Methods: The 12 commercial mouthrinse …
