Antibacterial

The experiment undertaken was a comparison of the rate of effectiveness of synthetic and natural antibacterial agents against a strain of Escherichia coli. The initial theory was that synthetic agents would essentially work more efficiently against the E coli as the product had been manufactured specifically to fight the harmful nature of the bacteria. However, after concluding the investigation, the data and evidence collected potentially disproves the initial hypothesis. The investigation was

constituents were Pulegone, Piperitenone, 8,1cineole, Neo-menthol, ‎Carvacrol and Menthol with relative percentages of 34.39, ‎‏15.17‏‎, ‎‏6.54‏‎, ‎‏5.81‏‎, ‎‏5.14‏‎ ‎and 5.06 %, respectively. Z. clinopodioides essential oil exhibited varied ‎antibacterial activity against all examined

Panȃcek with coworkers carried out a number of silver particle syntheses using different saccharides and then tested their antibacterial properties against seven strains for both of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. The results confirmed that silver particles synthesized using disaccharides (maltose and lactose) exhibit higher antibacterial activity. The antibacterial properties of silver particles were also investigated by Ruparelia et al. using four strains of Escherichia coli (MTCC: 443

phagocytic bacterial killing plays a pivotal role to enhance susceptibility to secondary MRSA infection. They conduct a mouse model influenza infection experiment followed by S. aureus respiratory challenge to demonstrate impairment of innate antibacterial defense by influenza virus. They find high bacterial burden on influenza and MRSA- coinfected mice as compared to MRSA alone, which infer decreased bacterial clearance capability and survival

to the artificial synthetic ones. Zingiberaceae is a family in the plant kingdom that has been highly investigated due to its versatile nature and high medicinal impact. The largest genus of Zingiberaceae family is Alpinia. In this paper , the antibacterial efficacy of hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol isolated from Alpinia

World EssayEffects of TriclosanJayraj Sheth (661555)Ms. Liu, MYP Gr 10Period 1 In our daily lives we use a lot of cosmetics which include over 100s of chemicals. Onechemical that we will be able to find in all our antibacterial products is Triclosan. Triclosan is anantifungal and antibacterial agent found in numerous household items such as soaps,mouthwash, detergents, toys, and quite a few other things. (Triclosan, David Suzuki, 2014)Triclosan chemical structure includes: Carbon, Hydrogen, Chlorine

Nanosilver will form a roughly spherical shape as can be seen in figure 2. (Utopia Silver Supplements, 2012) In the medical industry there is high demand for antibacterial and antiseptic products, especially in hospitals and other medical institutes. Antibacterial products fall into two categories, residue producing, that provide a long lasting antibacterial action like triclosan, and non-residue producing which are generally fast acting and can rapidly kill bacteria and disappear quickly leaving no residues

number of reasons. Firstly, it has a high beta-carotene content, meaning that it reverses the negative effects of free radicals. Free radicals are what cause the skin to age, and thus, apple cider vinegar is claimed to make skin look younger. The antibacterial qualities in apple cider vinegar protect the skin from potential infection as well. Finally, the pH of apple cider vinegar is very close to the ideal pH of the human body: Apple cider vinegar has a pH of about 4.5 to 5.5, while the optimal pH for

Tetracycline bind to the 30S ribosomal subunit and interfere with aminoacyl-tRNA binding. Erythromycin and Clindamycin bind to the 50S ribosomal subunit and inhibit peptide chain elongation. Fusidic acid binds to EF-G and blocks translocation. The antibacterial drugs that inhibit nucleic acid synthesis or damage cell membranes are not as selectively toxic as other antibiotics. (Ciprofloxacin, Quinolones, and Rifampin) This is because prokaryotes and eukaryotes do not vary in order to maintain the nucleic

decreased growth rate due to disease. There is also a smaller use in anabolic agents which alter the nutrient partitioning, which leads to an increase in the amount of protein deposited which leads to an increase in yield (Thomke and Elwinger, 1998). Antibacterial growth promotion has been practised in the food industry for over the last 50 years. The first indications of a beneficial effect were in 1946. Reasonably soon after in 1951 the first resistance in animals was reported after feeding turkeys streptomycin
