AbstractCombination of various compounds and essential oils for pharmaceutical formulations withdraw attention. In this present study, it was aimed to evaluate the in vitro potential synergistic antibacterial effect of Lavandula latifolia (spike lavender) essential oil with camphor by using the checkerboard method against the human pathogens; Staphylococcus aureus and Listeria monocytogenes. Pharmacopoeia quality L. latifolia essential oil and racemic camphor were analyzed and verified by GC-FID and GC/MS, simultaneously. In vitro antibacterial activity of essential oil and camphor (MIC range: 0.16–20 mg/mL) and standard antimicrobial clarithromycin (MIC range: 0.125–16 μg/mL) were carried out by broth microdilution against S. aureus and L. monocytogenes standard strains, respectively. Resulting antibacterial effects were evaluated for their fractional inhibitory concentrations (FICs) as antagonistic, additive and synergistic effects. The analytical results showed that the major component of essential oil was linalool (45.2%) and 1,8-cineole (25.6%). Antibacterial effects of essential oil were determined as MIC 1.25–5 mg/mL. As a result of the experiments, L. latifolia essential oil–camphor combinations were identified as “synergistic (FIC ≤ 0.5), and additive (0.5 < FIC ≤ 1)” in the respective combinations, suggesting further evaluation for formulations for potential antimicrobial applications in food and pharmaceuticals.

Fusarium oxysporum is a large species complex of both plant and human pathogens that attack a diverse array of species in a host-specific manner. Fusarium is a plant disease that lives in the soil. It penetrates the plant that leads to the loss of productivity of crops. The flexibility of casing the pathological process of the several Fusarium virulence pathways. The aims of this study were the fungus strain isolation and molecular identification of F. oxysporum f. sp. Lactucae, in addition to the Insilco study using molecular docking analysis to determine enzyme and plant phytochemicals from neem and black cumin responsible for inhibition of the pathological process of the Fusarium virulence pathways and prevent the initiation of the infection process. The causal pathogen of lettuce wilt was isolated, tested its ability to infect the lettuce plant under artificial infection, molecularly identified it and theoretically determined the most active natural compounds against it by molecular docking technique. Our results revealed that the typical symptoms of lettuce Fusarium wilt were shown when the plants are grown in soil inoculated with the pathogen. The pathogen is identified as F. oxysporum f. sp. lactucae race 5 and the sequence of this F. oxysporum was given the accession number MT249304.1. Moreover, it is known that the Azadirachta indica and Nigella stevia from previous studies have a fungicide effect, but the cause was not known in this study for the first time the substances responsible for this effect were identified. On the other hand, a homology modeling and molecular docking study were carried out on the most active compounds against F oxysporum .a fungus, in order to understand and determine the molecular interactions taking place between the ligand and the corresponding receptor of the studied target. Results indicated that active ingredients were Azadirachtin2D, Longicyclene 2D, Stearic acid 2D, Neohesperidin, Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, and Vilasinin 2 D exhibited the best docking scores and interaction profiles within the active site of Fusarium spp. enzymes. After data analyses, information on mycelial growth inhibitors, structural requirements, and putative enzyme targets may be used in further antifungal development based on phytoalexin analogs for controlling phytopathogens.

The techniques for detecting viruses are many and varied including FAT, ELISA, SPIRA, RPHA, SRH, TIA, ID, IEOP, GC (1); CF, CIE (2); Tzanck (3); EM, IEM (4); and molecular identification (5). This paper will deal with viral diagnosis by electron microscopy and will be organized from the point of view of the electron microscopist who is asked to look for an unknown agent--a consideration of the specimen and possible agents rather than from a virologist's view of comparing all the different viruses. The first step is to ascertain the specimen source and select the method of preparation, e. g. negative stain or embedment, and whether the sample should be precleared by centrifugation, concentrated, or inoculated into tissue culture. Also, knowing the type of specimen and patient symptoms will lend suggestions of possible agents and eliminate some viruses, e. g. Rotavirus will not be seen in brain, nor Rabies in stool, but preconceived notions should not prejudice the observer into missing an unlikely pathogen.
