FABRICATION OF QUERCETIN LOADED CHITOSAN NANOPARTICLES AND THEIR SUPERIOR IN-VITRO ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY AGAINST DENTAL PATHOGENS
The present investigation deals with the fabrication of quercetin loaded chitosan nanoparticles for their superior invitro antibacterial activity against dental pathogens. Developed nanoparticles were characterized for particle size and zeta potential. Results revealed that chitosan enhances antimicrobial activity towards dental pathogens viz. Bacillus pumilus, Bacillus thuringiensis and Pseudomon...

ENHANCEMENT OF ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY OF CURCUMA LONGA WITH THE COMBINATION OF OCIMUM SANCTUM AND GINGIBER OFFICINALE AND DEVELOPMENT AND EVALUATION OF TOPICAL FORMULATIONS
The present investigation was designed to check antimicrobial activity of combination of three extracts of Curcuma longa (CL), Ocimum santum (OS) and Gingiber officinale (GO) together and the development of suitable dosage form. Crude samples of CL, OS and GO were collected, air dried, powdered and extracted with 50% ethanol by maceration method and subjected for phytochemical analysis. Antimicrob...

STUDY ON THE CHANGING RESISTANCE PATTERN OF STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS AND E. COLI TO AMOXYCILLIN-CLAVULANIC ACID COMBINATION
Antimicrobial resistance is a global concern as new mechanisms of resistance are emerging and spreading globally, threatening our ability to treat common infectious diseases, resulting in prolonged illness, disability and even death. The study was focused on comparing the effectiveness of amoxicillin alone and amoxicillin with clavulanate potassium in combination by checking the sensitivity/resist...

CORRELATION BETWEEN RESISTANCE MARKERS AND ENTEROTOXINS HORIZONTAL TRANSFER IN STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS ISOLATES
S. aureus represents a public health challenge worldwide on the basis of their resistance to antimicrobials as well as the production of certain virulence factors such as enterotoxins. Detection of enterotoxin production, plasmid profiles and antimicrobial susceptibility testing were carried out. Four out of 10 S. aureus isolates produced different types of enterotoxins. Plasmid profile revealed t...
