        Recently , due to the resistance of bacterial pathogens to the detection of new antimicrobials, much attention has been paid. In the present study, the antimicrobial properties of four extracts of leafy leafy leaves, henna leaves, walnut shells and pomegranate peel on three gram-positive bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Bacillus subtilis, and two gram-negative bacteria of Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were studied. it placed. Antimicrobial effect of the alcoholic and aqueous extract of these plants was studied by diffusion and well discarding method by measuring the non-growth aura's diameter and the minimum inhibitory concentration was investigated by ELISA method. The results show that in two methods, diffusion discs and wells in alcoholic and aqueous extracts have the highest effect on Staphylococcus epidermidis bacterium and have the least effect on E. coli bacteria. The minimum amount of MIC for alcoholic extract is 31.25 and MBC 54.25 mg / ml, which is related to Escherichia coli bacteria. The results measurements of total phenolic compounds, flavonoids and tannins also indicate that the highest amount of this product is in the concentration of 500 mg / ml of the extract of plants. Also, the amount of antioxidant activity in the alcoholic extract is about twice as much as the aqueous extract. The results of this study indicate that the combination of extracts of plants, especially alcoholic extract, has a more antibacterial effect than the aqueous extract, which can be due to the presence of more antibacterial compounds in the extract.

        Background & Aim: The unfettered usage of antibiotics has engendered a mounting resistance of bacteria to these agents, thereby necessitating the discovery and development of novel compounds and medications to a greater extent than previously. The focal point of this research was to explore the chemical constituents of acetone and methanol-extracted samples of Cupressus sempervirens and Juniperus excelsa, as well as their potential inhibitory actions against a prevalent food-borne pathogen.Experimental: This experimental investigation was conducted on standard strains of Staphylococcus aureus (PTCC 1430), Bacillus cereus (PTCC 1431), Listeria monocytogenes (PTCC 1298), Escherichia coli (PTCC 1399), and Shigella dysentery (PTCC 1188). Following the preparation of methanol and acetone extracts derived from Juniperus excelsa and Cupressus sempervirens using Clevenger apparatus, the antimicrobial efficacy was assessed by both qualitative agar well diffusion method and quantitative macrodilution method. The active constituents present in the methanol and acetone extracts of the plants were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) analytical method. Means were compared with Duncan's test at the 5% probability level.Results: The findings of this investigation pertaining to the antimicrobial potency of the extracts, ascertained via the qualitative agar well diffusion method, indicated its efficacy against Gram-positive strains including S. aureus and B. cereus. The methanol extracts of the J. Excelsa were found to produce smaller inhibition zones on the tested bacteria compared to other plant extracts. The highest sensitivity to the acetone extract of C. sempervirens and J. excelsa observed in S. aureus and B. cereus. The extracts obtained from the two plant did not demonstrate any discernible impact on the Gram-negative bacteria that are commonly associated with foodborne pathogens. The findings obtained through gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) indicated the presence of efficacious components such as Benzene 1,2,4,5-tetramethyl, and Cyclopropane cyclopenta in J. excels extract. The acetone extract of J. excelsa showed more potent antimicrobial constituents than its methanolic counterpart. It is anticipated that in forthcoming times, the acetone extract derived from this botanical specimen may be employed to prevent bacterial-induced foodborne illnesses.Recommended applications/industries: Duo to the existence of a range of bioactive compounds in the acetone extracts obtained from C. sempervirens and J. excels, these extracts have the potential to be used against the development of foodborne infections and diseases caused by bacterial agents.

        Metal complexes containing Schiff base ligand are compounds that have biological effects such as antifungal, antibacterial, anti-malarial, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral and anti-fever properties. These compounds are also used in various industries. In this study, Palladium (II) Schiff base complex with the proposed formula C14H24N4O2Cl2Pd was synthesized by the method reported in Zabol University and used to investigate the antimicrobial effects. Antimicrobial activity such as antibacterial activity against pathogenic strains common between aquatic and human inclusive Loctococcus garvieae and Edwardsiella tarda strains and antifungal activity inclusive Aspergillus fumigatus and Candida albicans were performed according to CLSI standard and the results were reported based on inhibition zone diameter (IZD), minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) and minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC). Based on the results, the studied complex showed MIC concentrations of 32 μg/ml and 64 μg/ml on the Edwardsiella tarda and Loctococcus garvieae, respectively. The MIC concentrations on Aspergillus fumigatus and Candida albicans, respectively, 512 μg/ml and 1024 μg/ml were observed. The results of this study showed that the effect of Pd (II) Schiff base complex has strong antimicrobial properties and has a better effect than some commercial drugs. Manuscript profile
