Abstract Objective: To assess the antibacterial activity of Psidium guajava fractions and their effects on adhesion of a multispecies biofilm consisting of Streptococcus gordonii, Fusobacterium nucleatum, and Porphyromonas gingivalis in vitro. Material and Methods: Guava leaves were obtained from the m...
Abstract Fridericia caudigera and Cuspidaria convoluta (Bignoniaceae) species, which grow in the northwest of Argentina, have shown antibacterial effect against strains isolated from skin infections, and each one displayed synergism with commercial antibiotics. The aims of this work were to evaluate the ...
Abstract Instrumental techniques are preferred over bioassay methods for antibiotic quantification mainly due to speed and ability to quantify metabolites in biological samples; however, the potency and biological activity of these drugs cannot be assessed. Two methods - agar well diffusion (bio-assay) a...

BACKGROUND: Human Gut Microbiota (HGM) is composed of more than one thousand species, playing an important role in the health status of individuals. Dysbiosis (an HGM imbalance) is augmented as chronic kidney disease (CKD) progresses, as loss of kidney function accelerates. Increased antibiotic use in CK...
ABSTRACT The emergence of resistance mechanisms not only limits the therapeutic options for common bacterial infections but also worsens the prognosis in patients who have conditions that increase the risk of bacterial infections. Thus, the effectiveness of important medical advances that seek to improve...
ABSTRACT Increasing antimicrobial resistance amongStaphylococcus aureusnecessitates a new antimicrobial with a different site of action. We have isolated a novel cyclic peptide-1 (ASP-1) fromBacillussubtiliswith potent activity against methicillin-resistantS. aureus(MRSA) at a minimum inhibitory concentr...
INTRODUCCIÓN. Staphylococcus aureus es parte de la microbiota nasal en 20-30% de la población general, colonización que constituye un reservorio para su transmisión, lo que es preocupante en cepas resistentes a meticilina (SARM). OBJETIVO: Determinar la prevalencia de S. aureus en estudiantes de Medi...

Leukocyte- and platelet-rich fibrin is a widely used platelet concentrate for periodontal surgery procedures. Many benefits are described regarding its use, such as antimicrobial properties. The objective of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial effects of the different zones of this platelet conc...
The present in vitro study determined the antibacterial effect of Coconut (Cocus nucifera) oil on Streptococcus mutans ATCC 25175. Cross-sectional and experimental study. Streptococcus mutans strain ATCC 25175 was seeded on Müeller- Hinton Blood Agar. The effect was determined by inhibition halo and the...
