Effects on aqueous extracts of medicinal plants on ten Helicobacter pylori strains were studied by the salt aggregation test to determine the possibility to modulate their cell surface hydrophobicity and by an agar diffusion assay for detection of antimicrobial activity. It was established that aqueous extracts of bearberry and cowberry leaves enhance cell aggregation of all H. pylori strains tested by the salt aggregation test, and the extract of bearberry possessed a remarkable bacteriostatic…

Antibacterial effect of plant extracts against Helicobacter pylori
TLDR
The results show a significant in vitro effect of plant extracts against H. pylori that could be considered a valuable support in the treatment of the infection and may contribute to the development of new and safe agents for inclusion in anti‐H.pylori regimens.
Medicinal plant extracts as anti-Escherichia coli O157:H7 agents and their effects on bacterial cell aggregation.
TLDR
Ethanolic extracts of eight Thai medicinal plants used as traditional remedies for treating diarrhea were examined with a salt aggregation test for their ability to modulate cell surface hydrophobicity of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli strains, finding no correlation between antibacterial activity and cell aggregative properties.
Anti-Helicobacter pylori activities of Eucalyptus grandis: Effects on susceptibility, urease activity and cell surface hydrophobicity
TLDR
The anti-Helicobacter pylori activity observed in this study correlates well with the traditional use of this plant in Nigeria.
Modulation of cell surface hydrophobicity and attachment of bacteria to abiotic surfaces and shrimp by Malaysian herb extracts.
TLDR
The crude water herb extracts in this study were shown to have the potential to modulate specific bacterial and surface interactions and may, with further work, be useful for the simple and practical control of foodborne pathogens.
Anti-Helicobacter pylori activity of Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench (okra): An in vitro study
The anti-Helicobacter pylori activity of the methanol and hexane extracts of Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench (okra) dried fruits were evaluated on forty-one clinical isolates and a standard ATCC…
Anti-Helicobacter pylori Activity of Abelmoschus esculentus L. Moench (okra): An in vitro Study
TLDR
Alternative antimicrobial agents may be isolated from further bioassay-guided fractionation of edibles such as A. esculentus L. Moench for the treatment of H. pylori infections, especially as they are readily available.
Effect of asiatic and ursolic acids on morphology, hydrophobicity, and adhesion of UPECs to uroepithelial cells
TLDR
The results clearly show the influence of AA and UA on the presence of P fimbriae and curli fibers, morphology of the UPECs cells and their adhesion to epithelium; however, some differences between activities ofAA and UA were found.
Study on the Effect of the Antifungal Extract from Bacillus sp. on the Physicochemical Properties of Candida albicans
TLDR
Investigation of the effect of methanol extract from Bacillus sp.
Enhancement of nisin antibacterial activity by a bearberry (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi) leaf extract
Study of antibacterial activity of selected Iranian plant extracts on Helicobacter pylori
TLDR
Given the high levels of antibacterial activities of aqueous and ethanolic extracts of Glycyrrhiza glabra and Filipendula ulmaria, the next step is to identify the antimicrobial constituents of these plants.

Influence of aqueous extracts of medicinal plants on surface hydrophobicity of Escherichia coli strains of different origin
TLDR
One of the probable and potentially important action mechanisms of the four medicinal plants studied is their ability to influence the surface characteristics of the microbial cells and thereby their putative virulence properties.
Bacterial Cell-Surface Hydrophobicity
TLDR
Studies are presented on hydrophobicities of staphylococcal cells of different species in connection with slime production and growth in serum-soft agar and a correlation between hydrophobicity and phagocytosis is supported.
Haemagglutination patterns of Helicobacter pylori
TLDR
The great heterogeneity observed in HA patterns indicates that the HAs of different strains may recognize a heterogeneous class of sialoglycoconjugates on the erythrocyte membrane.
Mannose-resistant haemagglutination by Campylobacter pylori.
TLDR
In preliminary experiments the haemagglutination could be inhibited with monosialogangliosides suggesting that these strains express sialic acid specific haemAGglutinin(s) which could be involved in colonization of mucosal surfaces.

TLDR
The definition ofEPEC based on serotyping is inaccurate and should be replaced by methods that specifically detect the virulence properties of EPEC, as it is now apparent that many isolates belonging to these serogroups are not pathogenic or belong to other pathogenic groups of E. coli.
Optimal survival of Helicobacter pylori under various transport conditions
TLDR
It was found that at holding temperatures above 15 degrees C the organisms became noncultivable within 6 h or less, while they survived for 2 days or longer at 10 degrees C.

TLDR
The ability of antibiotics to affect the properties of microbial adherence to cell surfaces may be an important criterion in selecting an antibiotic for therapy.

TLDR
H. pylori eradication is required in peptic ulcer disease and may be advocated in patients on profound acid suppressive therapy; it has been shown to cure gastritis and prevent ulcer recurrence, and further study is required to determine the efficacy in the primary and secondary prevention of atrophic Gastritis and gastric cancer.
Specific and non-specific interactions in bacterial adhesion to solid substrata
TLDR
Three distinct regions in the adhesion process are suggested in which at large and intermediate separation distances adhesion is mediated by the macroscopic surface properties as surface free energy and surface charge, respectively.
