In vitro antibacterial activity of the metal oxide nanoparticles against urinary tract infectious bacterial pathogens

Antibacterial activity of the essential oils from the leaves of Eucalyptus globulus against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus

“…Some authors have reported that gram-negative microorganisms are slightly more sensitive to essential oils when compared to gram-positive [32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42] . The gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms differ in several aspects other than with respect to the structure of their cellular walls, mainly with regard to the presence of lipoproteins and lipopolysaccharides in gram-negative bacteria that form a barrier to hydrophobic compounds [43,44] .…”

Cerium oxide and iron oxide nanoparticles abolish the antibacterial activity of ciprofloxacin against gram positive and gram negative biofilm bacteria

“…(Ravikumar et al 2011;Taylor and Webster 2009;Tran et al 2010). One study has reported antibacterial activity of Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles on a number of bacteria in their planktonic forms (Gokulakrishnan et al 2012).…”

Phytochemical screening and in vitro bioactivities of the extracts of aerial part of Boerhavia diffusa Linn.

“…The results agree with the findings of the other researchers [34] in which the antioxidant activity of methanol extract of B. diffusa was reported due to the presence of rotenoids (boeravinone G, H and D). Among the rotenoids, boeravinone G plays the major role which is also a polyphenolic compound [34][35][36][37][38][39] .…”
