Journal ArticleDOI
Fungicidal activity of thymol and carvacrol by disrupting ergosterol biosynthesis and membrane integrity against Candida
Aijaz Ahmad,Amber Khan,Feroz Akhtar,Snowber Yousuf,Immaculata Xess,Luqman A. Khan,Nikhat Manzoor +6 more
TL;DR: Thymol and carvacrol show strong fungicidal effect against all of the Candida isolates and the mechanisms of action of these natural isopropyl cresols appear to originate from the inhibition of ergosterol biosynthesis and the disruption of membrane integrity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biosynthesis, structural characterization and antimicrobial activity of gold and silver nanoparticles.
TL;DR: The results suggest that these nanoparticles can be used as effective growth inhibitors against the test microorganisms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of colorimetric, antibacterial and antifungal properties of woollen yarn dyed with the extract of the leaves of henna (Lawsonia inermis)
Mohd Yusuf,Aijaz Ahmad,Mohammad Shahid,Mohd Ibrahim Khan,Shafat Ahmad Khan,Nikhat Manzoor,Faqeer Mohammad +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the extract of leaves of henna was applied on woollen yarn to investigate the dyeing characteristics and antimicrobial efficacy against common human pathogens such as Escherichia coli MTCC 443, Staphylococcus aureus MTCC 902 and Candida albicans ATCC 90028.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ocimum sanctum essential oil and its active principles exert their antifungal activity by disrupting ergosterol biosynthesis and membrane integrity
Amber Khan,Aijaz Ahmad,Feroz Akhtar,Snowber Yousuf,Immaculata Xess,Luqman A. Khan,Nikhat Manzoor +6 more
TL;DR: It is indicated that OSEO, methyl chavicol and linalool have significant antifungal activity against Candida, including azole-resistant strains, advocating further investigation for clinical applications in the treatment of fungal infections.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dyeing, fastness and antimicrobial properties of woolen yarns dyed with gallnut (Quercus infectoria Oliv.) extract
Mohammad Shahid,Aijaz Ahmad,Mohd Yusuf,Mohd Ibrahim Khan,Shafat Ahmad Khan,Nikhat Manzoor,Faqeer Mohammad +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a study was conducted to investigate the dyeing, fastness, and antimicrobial properties of woolen yarns using gallnut extract as a natural dye, and compared results of color fastness (fastness to light, wash, and rub) and colorimetric properties (CIELab and color strength (K/S) values) of dyed yarns were studied to quantify the effect of mordants.
