Abstract Two of the largest crude oil-polluted areas in world are semi-enclosed Mediterranean and Red Seas, but effect chronic pollution remains incompletely understood on a large scale. We compared influence environmental geographical constraints anthropogenic forces (hydrocarbon input) bacterial communities eight geographically separated sites along coastlines Seas. The differences community compositions their biodegradation potential were primarily associated (P < 0.05) with both...
Several applications of chalcones and their derivatives encouraged researchers to increase synthesis as an alternative for the treatment pathogenic bacterial fungal infections. In present study, chalcone were synthesized through cross aldol condensation reaction between 4-(N,N-dimethylamino)benzaldehyde multiarm aromatic ketones. The ketones nucleophilic substitution 4-hydroxy acetophenone benzyl bromides. bromides, ketones, corresponding evaluated activities against eleven clinical...
Abstract Amplicon sequencing using next‐generation technology ( bTEFAP ® ) has been utilized in describing the diversity of Dead Sea microbiota. The investigated area is a well‐known salt lake western part Jordan found lowest geographical location world (more than 420 m below sea level) and characterized by extreme salinity (approximately, 34%) addition to other conditions (low pH , unique ionic composition different from water). DNA was extracted water. A total 314,310 small subunit RNA SSU...
This study evaluated the microbial quality of two commonly consumed fish species, Carangoides chrysophrys (Jesh sal) and Pomadasys argenteus (Silver grunt), sold in a market Emirate Sharjah, UAE. Bacterial loads, diversity, presence opportunistic pathogens were assessed using total viable counts (TVC), biochemical identification (VITEK), molecular detection (PCR). Statistical analysis revealed that overnight/older samples had significantly higher bacterial loads compared to fresh/morning (p...
We carried out a comprehensive overview of inhibitory effects selected antibiotics on planktonic and biofilm cells Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 29213) Pseudomonas aeruginosa 27853) strains. The possible involvement protease activity the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) profile P. were also analyzed. Biofilm both strains more resistant to than their counterparts. Protease was increased in forms. Challenge with sublethal doses proteolytic cells. Additionally, LPS showed pattern alterations that can...
The evolution of drug resistant strains microbial pathogens provides an urgent need to develop novel therapeutical regimes with resistance-combating capacity. In this study, the phytochemical composition and antibacterial activities essential oils from Cleome droserifolia trinervia growing in Jordan desert were investigated. Hydro-distilled analyzed using GC–MS evaluated for activity vitro against a selection Gram-positive Gram-negative bacteria by agar-well diffusion micro-dilution methods....
Vincristine (VCR), vinblastine (VBL) and vinorelbine (VRL) are anticancer agents from the Vinca alkaloid family that have potential to induce genotoxic effect. The aim of present study was compare effect VCR, VBL VRL. Levels 8-hydroxy-2-deoxy guanosine (8-OHdG) sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) were measured in cultured human blood lymphocytes treated with VRL at concentrations 0.01 0.1 μg/mL. Results showed significantly increased 8-OHdG levels (p <0.05), whereas it did not cause a...
Detection of new Actinobacteria is significant to discover antibiotics because development connected the characterization novel bacterial taxa. This study has focused on identification and isolation antibiotic-producing from sediment water Ma'in thermal springs (48-59°C) situated in center area Jordan.Samples were transferred glucose yeast malt agar medium cultivated, isolated identified according scanning electron microscopy 16S rRNA gene analysis. Antibacterial activities isolates then...
Waterpipe smoking is a global health problem and serious public concern. Little known about the effects of waterpipe on oral health. In current study, we examined alterations microbial flora by smoking.One hundred adult healthy subjects (59 smokers 41 non-smokers) were recruited into study. Swabs taken from cavity subgingival regions. Standard culturing techniques used to identify types, frequency, mean number microorganisms in cultures obtained subjects.It was notable that significantly...
Proteus mirabilis is the third most common bacterium that can cause complicated UTI, especially in catheterized patients. Urovirulence genes of P. strains are poorly identified among UTI The aims present study were to determine prevalence uropathogenic isolated from patients by detection several virulence and characterize antibiotic susceptibility profile isolates. isolates collected urine specimens suffering UTI. Virulence , namely, hpmA hpmB rsbA luxS ureC1 hlyA rpoA atfA atfC mrpA pm1...
Brucellosis is an infectious disease caused by direct contact with infected animals or animal products contaminated Brucella. Brucella a Gram-negative aerobic coccobacillus that infects different types of and considered to be important zoonotic disease.Brucella were isolated from blood samples identified following biochemical tests agglutination A M monospecific antisera. Furthermore, antibody titers the tested sera obtained microtiter method (MAM).The main species in Oman was B. melitensis....
Abstract A culture‐independent approach was utilized in this study to reveal the microbial diversity Jordanian hot springs represented by Ma'in and Afra springs. Water samples from were collected June 2015. The situ temperature of water range 38–59°C pH 7.4–8.4. metagenome extracted analyzed using next generation technology ( bTEFAP ® ). total 314,310 sequences parsed 288,452 then clustered. predominated bacteria (>84%) relative abundance archaea each sample <1%. Eukaryotic...
The development of rapid, sensitive, accurate and reliable bacterial detection methods are keen interest to ensure food safety hospital security. Therefore, the a fast, specific, low-cost trusted is in high demand. Magnetic nanoparticles with their unique material properties have been utilized as tool for pathogen detection. Here, we present novel iron oxide labeled specific targeting antibodies improve specificity extend use nanosensors. results indicated that antibody platform binds...
The general lack of knowledge about the health effects waterpipe smoking is among reasons for its global spread. In this study, bacterial contamination hoses was investigated. Twenty were collected from cafés and screened pathogens using standard culture isolation techniques. Additionally, resistance isolated bacteria to common antibiotics determined by identifying minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) each isolate. Forty eight isolates detected. Isolates included both Gram-positive...
Ma'in hot springs are known as sites of balneotherapy. However, little is about their microbiology and chemistry. In this study, we aim at evaluating the antimicrobial activity hot-springs water (MHSW), studying its microbiology, determining physicochemical properties including heavy metals content. Therefore, samples were collected from tested for using agar diffusion method. Water was then cultivated on nutrient to isolate identify dominant bacteria by chemical molecular methods. The...
