O potencial de uso do óleo copaíba (Copaifera officinalis) na prevenção da doença periodontal, eliminando seu agente etiológico, foi avaliado em 18 cães sem raça definida, distribuídos homogeneamente três grupos: teste, (contendo copaíba) controle positivo e negativo. Os tratamentos ocorreram vezes ao dia, durante oito dias. Ao nono os animais receberam aplicação tópica fucsina básica 0,5% para evidenciação biofilme. Mudanças halitose gengivite foram avaliadas diariamente por inspeção...

Mastitis is an inflammation of the mammary gland that causes major losses in dairy industry. Streptococcus spp. are among main agents this disease. Increased resistance to antibiotics one therapeutic failure. Plants, due their broad chemodiversity, interesting source new molecules with antibacterial activity. Using these compounds along traditional a possible method for reversing resistance. The objective work was determine interactions between activities guttiferone-A and 7-epiclusianone,...

Honeys are described possessing different properties including antimicrobial. Many studies have presented this activity of honeys produced by Apis mellifera bees, however activities stingless bees scarce. The aim study was to compare the antimicrobial collected in Amazonas State from Melipona compressipes, seminigra and against Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, Chromobacterium violaceum, Candida albicans. Minimum inhibitory concentrations were determined using...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial effect different copaiba oil concentrations against growth Listeria monocytogenes, and analyze differences in inhibition microorganisms with autoclaved non oil. This provided an agar diffusion test six isolates bacteria or a negative control. results showed sensitivity five L. monocytogenes related 10% solution Four strains also 5% one 2.5% solution. only for two strains. These had pointed higher as all other solutions tested...

Bacterial biofilms are involved in the aggravation and recurrence of clinical mastitis dairy herds. Several factors such as pH, temperature, concentration O2 glucose can affect their induction growth rates. In this study, biofilm production was demonstrated by 27 Escherichia coli strains isolated from bovine at different pH values depending on availability glucose, mimicking conditions found mammary glands affected disease. Biofilm formation analyzed spectrophotometric analysis microtiter...

The bacterial pathogen most commonly associated with endemic forms of childhood diarrhoea is Escherichia coli. Studies epidemiological characteristics HEp-2 cell-adherent E. coli in diarrhoeal disease are required, particularly developing countries. aim this study was evaluate the presence and significance adherent from children. prevalence LA, AA, DA adherence patterns were determined cells, virulence genes O serogroups samples obtained 470 children acute 407 controls Porto Velho, Rondônia,...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial effect two different copaiba oils against Escherichia coli obtained from mastitic milk. An assay performed using an agar diffusion test, testing three solutions: a negative control and solutions oils. This test with 27 E. isolates. Eight isolates (29.63%) were inhibited by C. langsdorffii oil solution seven officinalis oil. results present in vitro suggest that may be potential sources new selective agents for treatment mastitis,...

This study aimed to assess raw milk consumption habits in the urban population of Viçosa, Minas Gerais, Brazil, and microbiological safety quality fluid available retail sales outlets same region. A simplified questionnaire regarding was applied persons responsible for food acquisition 411 residences.

Periodontal disease, which affects the support structures and protection of teeth, is main disease found in dogs, reaching about 85% prevalence animals over 4 years old. The most important bacteria initial colonization human dental plaque are <i>Streptococcus</i>, produce exopolysaccharides that facilitate fixation to surfaces. Some studies have sought identify microbiota dogs using non-selective culture media, reported small amounts however they did not provide ideal conditions for growth...

Escherichia coli é um micro-organismo altamente adaptativo e sua habilidade em formar biofilmes pode ser fundamental na resistência a tratamentos com antimicrobianos. A avaliação da concentração mínima inibitória (CMI) vem sendo utilizada para verificar sensibilidade dos micro-organismos aos Entretanto, quando se avaliam células sésseis, do antimicrobiano requerido erradicação biofilme maior que determinada pela CMI.
