“…The highest inhibitory activity was exhibited especially against the Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis which present, at the time, a resistance to the ceftriaxone and penicillin antibiotics. A similar results were reported by Gaglio et al [15]. Moreover, Acinetobacter baumannii, Klebsiella pneumonia, Escherichia coli and Enterobacter cloacae were found non-sensitive to the studied essential oil components.…”

Medicinal and aromatic plants have been widely used for their potential ability to curing diseases and injury. Numerous studies were focused nowadays on the pharmacological proprieties of these plants including the antibacterial and antioxidant activities. In this context, the present study aims to determine the chemical composition of essential oils (EOs) from wild carrot (Daucus carota Linnaeus) and evaluate their and antioxidant and antibacterial activities. The essential oil was obtained by Clevenger apparatus hydro-distillation and analyzed, afterward, using Chromatography-Mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A diffusion technique on agar plates was applied to determine the EOs effect against Gram-positive bacteria, whereas the DPPH radical reduction (1,1-diphényl-2-picrylhydrazy) method was used to estimate the antioxidant activity. Findings analysis identified 57 volatile components during this experiment with a majority of α-Pinene (23,5%) and β-Asarone (16,70%). Therefore, the tested EOs revealed great inhibitory properties against the Gram-positive bacteria, and an antioxidant potential with IC50 = 73.31 ± 4.46 µg/mL.

“…Each WSE was rehydrated with distilled water to a final concentration of 500 mg/ml, corresponding to their complete dissolution. The inhibitory activity of WSEs was tested by applying the paper disc diffusion method as previously reported (34). Briefly, an agar base support (2% [wt/vol] water agar) was overlaid with 7 ml of the optimal soft agar (0.7% [wt/vol]) medium, as indicated by the respective culture collection for each strain, previously inoculated with approximately 10 7 CFU/ml of a given test organism.…”

The main hypothesis of this work was that Sicilian forestry resources are suitable for the production of equipment to be used in cheese making and indigenous milk lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are able to develop stable biofilms providing starter and nonstarter cultures necessary for curd fermentation and cheese ripening, respectively. Hence, the present work was carried out with deproteinized whey to evaluate LAB biofilm formation on different woods derived from tree species grown in Sicily. Microbiological and scanning electron microscopy analyses showed minimal differences in microbial levels and compositions for the neoformed biofilms. The specific investigation of spp.,, , coagulase-positive staphylococci (CPS), and sulfite-reducing anaerobes did not generate any colony for all vats before and after bacterial adhesion. LAB populations dominated all vat surfaces. The highest levels (7.63 log CFU/cm) were registered for thermophilic cocci. Different colonies were characterized physiologically, biochemically, and genetically (at strain and species levels). Six species within the genera ,, , and were identified. The species most frequently present were and LAB found on the surfaces of the wooden vats in this study showed interesting characteristics important for dairy manufacture. To thoroughly investigate the safety of the wooden vat, a test of artificial contamination on new Calabrian chestnut (control wood) vats was carried out. The results showed that LAB represent efficient barriers to the adhesion of the main dairy pathogens, probably due to their acidity and bacteriocin generation. This study highlights the importance of using wooden vats for traditional cheese production and provides evidence for the valorization of the Sicilian forest wood resources via the production of dairy equipment.

The carrot plant (Daucus carota) and its components are traditionally reported for the management of gastric ulcers. This study was performed to evaluate the role of carrot when administered concurrently with a conventional antiulcer treatment, pantoprazole, in alleviating gastric and duodenal ulcers in female experimental animals. The study involved standard animal models to determine the ulcer preventive effect using pylorus ligation, ethanol, and stress induced acute gastric ulcer models and duodenal ulcer models involving cysteamine. Acetic acid-induced chronic gastric ulcer and indomethacin-induced gastric ulcer models were used to evaluate the ulcer healing effect. Carrot fruit (500 mg/kg) and its co-administration with pantoprazole produced significant protection in an ethanol- and stress-induced acute gastric ulcer and cysteamine-induced duodenal ulcer. The healing of the acetic acid-induced chronic gastric ulcer was also augmented with this combination. Both total proteins and mucin contents were significantly increased in indomethacin-induced gastric ulcers. Similarly, in pylorus ligation, the pepsin content of gastric juice, total acidity, and free acidity were reduced. Overall, both ulcer preventive effects and ulcer healing properties of the pantoprazole were significantly enhanced in animals who received the co-administration of carrot fruit (500 mg/kg).
