This raises considerable challenges‚ particularly since there is increasing unease regarding the use of chemical preservatives and artificial antimicrobials to inactivate or inhibit growth of spoilage and pathogenic microorganisms.(Arques et al.‚ 2008; Aslim&Yucel‚ 2007; Brandi et al.‚ 2006; Cushnie et al.‚ 2005). As a consequence‚ natural antimicrobials are receiving a good deal of attention for a number of micro-organism-control issues. Reducing the need for antibiotics‚ controlling microbial

Abstract The antimicrobial activity of alkaloids‚ tannins‚ saponins‚ flavonoids‚ phenol and cardic glycoside present in the various parts of Chrysophyllum albidium plant were investigated. These phytochemical were determined quantitatively and tested against staphylococcus aureus‚ B. subtilis‚ pseudomonas aeruginosa‚ E. coli‚ C. tetani‚ and the fungus; candida albicans. Most the plant parts were found to contain alkaloids‚ tannins‚ phenols and flavonoids except for the absence of cardic glycosides

The need for new antimicrobial agents is becoming one of the most urgent requirements in modern medicine (World Health Organization‚ April 2014). As a result‚ researchers are investigating alternative ways for developing better treatment for microbial-caused diseases one of

RADISH EXTRACT Making use of radish extract as an effective alternative method of getting rid of insects and pests like worms‚ ants‚ and aphids was studied in this research project. The purpose of this experiment is to prove that radish extract can be used as an insecticide. The researchers first gathered all the materials needed to complete the experimentation. First

levels of Salmonella on poultry increases during transport from farm to processing plants. Philippines‚ an agricultural country having a thousand agricultural activities around its regions‚ is highly triggered with Salmonella outbreak. Meat processing is one source of agricultural products that the country depends on in terms of meat consumption. As of 2005‚ there were four accredited meat processing plants acknowledged by the National Meat Inspection Service here in Davao. In this concern

Causes of antimicrobial drug resistance Microbes‚ such as bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi‚ and parasites‚ are living organisms that evolve over time. Their primary function is to reproduce‚ thrive‚ and spread quickly and efficiently. Therefore‚ microbes adapt to their environments and change in ways that ensure their survival. If something stops their ability to grow‚ such as an antimicrobial‚ genetic changes can occur that enable the microbe to survive. There are several ways this happens. Natural (Biological)

Mechanisms of Silver Nanoparticle Action in Bacteria and Potential for Bacterial Resistance The antimicrobial activity of silver in general‚ and of silver nanoparticles in particular‚ is of significant interest because it appears to be independent of the strain of bacteria. Crucially‚ antibiotic resistant strains‚ MRSA (methicillin‚ or multiple-resistant Staphylococcus aureus)‚ E. coli O157‚ and others are affected by silver [6]. The reasons for this are not fully clear as yet‚ but could be related
