Authors: Godil Danish Iqbal , Hasan Syed Shabib ul
Published: November 2022

The purpose of the research is to test the impact of Advanced Manufacturing Technology (ADMATECH) on Management accounting (MACCT) along with the impact of both of these variables i.e. ADMATECH and MACCT on company’s performance (CPF). Further the mediating role of MACCT system between ADMATECH and CPF was also analyzed. Data from 263 manufacturing companies of Pakistan was collected through questionnaire that was taken from different researches. ADMATECH, MACCT and CPF were taken as exogenous, mediating and endogenous variables respectively. To analyze the contingency model of MACCT practices different test were applied that includes validity, reliability and regression. For all these analysis version 23 of SPSS was used. The outcomes showed that the usage of ADMATECH has no effect on CPF i.e. there is an insignificant influence of ADMATECH on CPF. Further results showed that ADMATECH has an effect on the usage of MACCT system i.e. ADMATECH has a significant influence on MACCT system. So it can be said that implementation of ADMATECH stresses on greater usage of MACCT system. Results have also indicated a significant influence of MACCT practices on CPF. This means MACCT system help corporations to compete in competitive environment which ultimately improves CPF. Finally it was also found that the link between AMATECH and CPF was indirect via MACCT i.e. MACCT is a full mediator between ADMATECH and CPF. According to researcher’s knowledge about Pakistan, the relationship between these three factors have not been explored in Pakistan. So the researcher has tried to find out the relation between these three variables i.e. ADMATECH, MACCT and CPF. The outcomes of this research will assist managers of these companies in determining whether the usage of ADMATECH is beneficial to increase CPF, with the mediating role of MACCT system. Further this study could assist top management of manufacturing businesses towards technical alliance with ADMATECH manufacturers for designing and developing of products

Authors: ÖZŞEN Tolga
Published: November 2022

This study discusses the knowledge about, perceptions of, and interaction with the Japanese culture of Japanese language L2 learners who are majoring in Japanese at the undergraduate level in Turkish universities. The field survey was conducted with 298 undergraduate students in a Japanese Language Programs in early 2019. The data were collected using a structured questionnaire. As a result, it was confirmed that the participants acquire a wide range of academic knowledge about Japanese culture during their undergraduate education, and their perceptions of Japanese culture are based on historical and social facts as well as popular culture. However, the students have little interaction with Japanese culture in daily life. In the light of the data obtained in the research, Japanese cultural perceptions of the Japanese L2 learners were classified into typologies and discussed in terms of knowledge, perceptions, and interaction.

Published: November 2022

Topicality. The events of recent years (the Covid-19 pandemic, hostilities in Ukraine) have led to a significant increase in world food prices. Thus, the FAO price index in February 2022 reached a historic high of 140.7 percentage points. One of the significant factors in this situation is a significant increase in prices for fertilizers for agriculture, which leads to their shortage. This actualizes the search for a solution to the problem of using sewage sludge as biological resource for sustainable agriculture and ensuring the implementation of sustainable development goals, including goals 2, 6, 11, 12, 15.Aim and tasks. The purpose of the article is to analyze various aspects of the use of sewage sludge in agricultural production as one of the promising ways to achieve sustainable development goals.Research results. The content of organic matter in the sludge can improve the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the soil by ensuring better soil cultivation and water retention capacity, especially when dehydrated sewage sludge is used. Biosolids reduce runoff and increase surface water retention. Organic nitrogen in sludge is much less likely to cause groundwater pollution than chemical nitrogen fertilizers. The use of sewage sludge on agricultural land is the best way to recycle the nutrients it contains. Sewage sludge can therefore be considered an important biological resource for sustainable agriculture. Physico-chemical characteristics of sewage sludge of different origin were compared. The concentration of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus were similar. Nevertheless, there are some site-specific factors that make each sewage sludge unique and must be taken into account to predict the outcome of sewage sludge treatment. To achieve the goal, an analysis was made of the effect of sewage sludge on the physico-chemical and microbial properties of the soil; its impact on plants and their productivity; the problems of using soil sludge in agriculture, taking into account its contamination with various substances (heavy metals, microplastics and pharmaceuticals), have been studied.Conclusions. Sewage sludge is a promising fertilizer for sustainable agriculture, taking into account the need for an effective technology for its purification from hazardous substances.

The urgency of the problem of stable development of the domestic market of innovative technologies today is due to the fact that, according to Western experts, world economic growth is already more than 3/4 based on the achievements of scientific and technological progress, and more than half of the profits received by enterprises are formed as a result of the promotion of new goods and services. This indicates that innovative development is increasingly becoming an important component of the reproduction process as a whole, and sustainable economic growth, preservation and creation of new competitive advantages in the business sector of the country becomes possible only if the transition to an innovative model of economic development.Aim and tasks. The aim of the article is to develop a conceptual model of sustainable development of the market of innovative technologies in Ukraine based on the transformation of the business environment in order to create favorable conditions for the fullest use of the combined potential of science and technology entrepreneurship.Research results. The system of principles of transformation of the business environment in the context of sustainable development of the market of innovative technologies on the basis of the revealed tendencies which have developed in world economy in the last decade is offered. The conceptual model of sustainable development of the market of innovative technologies in Ukraine on the basis of transformation of the business environment which is based on the theory of innovative development, the revealed interrelation of the factors characterizing a condition of the business environment is developed, and market development of innovative technologies (the criterion of which we consider the volume of sold high-tech products (works, services) in terms of information and communication technologies in production and services, production and services using high technology and intellectually rich market services), and also takes into account the probabilistic nature of the development of socio-economic processes in the world and national economies. It is argued that the business environment is a basic strategic variable, the transformation of which (through the mechanisms and tools of state regulation) is the key to sustainable development of the market of innovative technologies in Ukraine.Conclusion. The proposed conceptual model will be the basis for further development of the methodology of transformation of the national business environment, which will determine the functioning and development of the market of innovative technologies in the future, providing conditions for innovation and technological development of business structures and the country as a whole.
The Efficacy of Dzarirah oil (Acorus calamus L.) Against Bacteria Propionibacterium Acnes that Induce Maskne Disease
Authors: Tri Utami Amalia
Published: November 2022

Maskne is a pimple that occurs as a result of using a mask with hot ingredients and using it for too long. Maskne is a new term that comes from the word mask plus acne. According to dermatologists, the continuous use of masks causes a build-up of bacteria and dirt that clogs the skin pores and triggers acne and other skin problems. The reason is, the skin area around the cheeks and chin does not get air circulation because it is covered by a mask. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization require the use of masks for all people around the world to prevent exposure to the Corona virus which causes COVID-19 infection. However, there are effects from using this mask in the form of pimples and other facial skin irritations. The Maskne triggered by infection of Propionylbacterium acnes which plays a role in irritation of the follicular epithelium and facilitates the occurrence of Maskne. Medical treatment is mostly done is by giving topical and oral antibiotics which are relatively more expensive and can cause side effects. As an alternative medicine in the community, dzariroh (Acorus calamus L.) can be used which has been scientifically proven to have antibacterial activity. Dzarirah is a type of plant that is mentioned in the hadith to treat the acne of the wife of Rasulullah SAW. The prophet's wives told that one day the Prophet met them. Rasulullah then saw among them a kind of pimple grew. Rasulullah then asked, "Do you have the perfume of dzarirah ?." They said they had. Rasulullah said, "Put your pimples on while reading a prayer, 'O Allah, who reduce the large and the small ones, reduce my acne'." The α and β asarone compounds are antimicrobial compounds that can inhibit the growth of P. acne bacteria. The results showed that dzarirah oil could inhibit the growth of Propionibacterium acnes bacteria at a concentration of 2.5% while killing at a concentration of 25%. Dzarirah oil is effective in inhibiting the growth of Propionibacterium acnes bacteria at a concentration of 2.5% and is a MIC (Minimum Inhibitory Concentration). Dzarirah oil is proven to be effective in killing Propionibacterium acnes bacteria at a concentration of 25% and is an MBC (Minimum Bactericidal Concentration).
Bilateral Commissuroplasty and Primary Repair for Lower Lip Defect (30-80%) After Cancer Excision
Authors: Akbari ME
Published: November 2022

Introduction: Lip reconstruction is an essential step in lip tumors. In this regard, there are many procedures with good outcomes. Flap problems are the possibility of necrosis and an extensive suture line that wrecks aesthetics. Our technique has no flaps for defects more than 30% of the lip, and the suture line is minimal. Methods: This study is a surgical technique report from a single center. The original technique was based on our experience with about 100 patients in 25 years. But in this study, 10 patients were included. After excising the tumor, a bilateral 10-15 mm horizontal skin incision beginning from the commissures to lateral sides was made. The skin and mucosa were dissected from the underlying orbicularis muscle, and the muscle was partially cut about 15 mm from each side. Then the remaining sides of the lip were advanced and repaid in three layers. Finally, the released mucosa was sutured to the angle of incised skin. Results: The patients were followed for at least three years. Oral competence was good, mobility and sensation were well preserved, the scars were less than other flaps, and the aesthetic was satisfying. The patients did not have drooling, flap edema, and pin cushioning. Conclusion: Among various techniques for lower lip reconstruction, the presented technique in this study seems to be safe and straightforward, but to measure all aspects of it, other surgeons need to use this method and express their opinions.

Published: November 2022

Carica papaya var. Maradol es un producto fresco importante cultivado en Chiapas, México. Sin embargo, su vida de anaquel es muy corta por lo que podrían ser procesadas para incrementar su vida útil. El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar el efecto de la temperatura y concentración de sacarosa de la solución osmótica sobre la pérdida de agua y ganancia de solutos durante la deshidratación osmótica de rebanadas de papaya. Para esto, rebanadas de 5 mm de espesor se deshidrataron por osmosis en soluciones de sacarosa a 40, 50, 60 y 70°Brix mantenidas a 50, 60 y 70°C durante 6 h, guardando una proporción sólidos:solución de 1:5 (peso:volumen). La pérdida de agua y ganancia de solutos fueron ajustados con la ecuación de Azuara para obtener las difusividades efectivas de agua y sacarosa. El análisis sensorial de las muestras se llevó a cabo usando una prueba hedónica de nueve puntos. Los resultados fueron analizados mediante un análisis de varianza y las medias fueron comparadas con la prueba de Tukey (p < 0.05). Las difusividades promedio para el agua variaron entre 4 x 10-10 y 7.2 x 10-10 m2 s-1; mientras que para la sacarosa fueron de 3.62 x 10-10 a 8.4 x 10-10 m2 s-1. El análisis sensorial mostró que la deshidratación osmótica influyó significativamente la aceptación de la papaya. La deshidratación osmótica usando una solución osmótica a 50°C, a 50°Brix durante 6 h permitió obtener papayas con una pérdida de agua de 49%, una ganancia de sacarosa de 14% y un buen nivel de aceptación. Estas condiciones de procesamiento incrementan la vida en anaquel de la papaya y podrían ser utilizadas para propósitos industriales.
Neuro-imagerie fonctionnelle ultrasonore : vers une meilleure compréhension de la physiologie et de la physiopathologie des douleurs aiguës et chroniques
Authors: Delay L. , Tanter M. , Pezet S.
Published: November 2022

Alors que l’imagerie par résonance magnétique fonctionnelle est toujours à ce jour la modalité d’imagerie cérébrale profonde de référence, une nouvelle technique d’imagerie émergente, développée dans notre laboratoire permet d’augmenter considérablement la sensibilité de l’imagerie ultrasonore aux flux sanguins dans les petits vaisseaux chez les rongeurs. Cette modalité peut, du fait de sa grande sensibilité, son excellente résolution spatiale (100 µm) et temporelle (200 ms) identifier les variations subtiles de flux sanguin lors de l’activité cérébrale. Elle donne ainsi accès à l’activité de zones cérébrales, spinales ou du ganglion trigéminal fonctionnellement activées par une tâche ou une stimulation sensorielle chez le rongeur. Du fait de sa petite taille et de sa versatilité, ces études peuvent être réalisées chez l’animal (rongeur, ferret et macaque non humain) éveillé, calme ou au cours de tâches comportementales, évitant ainsi les biais connus de l’anesthésie lors des études fonctionnelles cérébrales. Dans le domaine d’étude de la douleur, elle a le potentiel d’étudier de façon plus facile et sensible le réseau de zones activées par des stimuli sensoriels ou nociceptifs, mais également la dynamique des réseaux neuronaux impliqués dans la transmission, l’intégration et la modulation des informations douloureuses (via l’étude de la connectivité fonctionnelle). Après une brève introduction sur cette modalité technique et les avancées qu’elle a permis d’apporter à ce jour dans le domaine des neurosciences, cet article fait le point sur les études précliniques de notre équipe dans le domaine de la douleur et conclut par les perspectives ouvertes par cette technologie en clinique humaine.
The US Soft Power and the Trump Effect on It
Authors: KARATAŞ İbrahim , ÇELİK Ahmet Hüsrev
Published: November 2022

This study analyzes the US soft power before and after President Trump took power. It argues that the US soft power had been waning before the Trump administration due to its foreign policy. While the US is still attractive in many cultural and institutional aspects, its foreign policy no longer contributes much to its soft power. In addition, there was a Trump effect on US soft power as such that his unpredictable and contradictory character and ‘America First’ policy damaged the US image. Besides, the raid into US congress hints that post-Trump period might also be problematic in terms of soft power. Yet, this study asserts that he also gave some correct decisions such as withdrawing troops from battlefields. While analyzing the US soft power, this study also questions the conceptualization of soft power and smart power and introduces new arguments. This study aims to propose new ideas about the US soft power and partly the concept of soft power via reviewing the literature.

Indian Exploitation of Kashmir Through the Phenomenon of Terrorism: A Case Study
Authors: Shahid Raja Wasim
Published: November 2022

The genesis of conflict roots back to the exploitation of the Muslim majority by the Hindu rulers from1846 on-wards. Conflict broke out between India and Pakistan in 1947 as India took the matter to the UNSC which decided on a plebiscite to determine the will of the people. After the initial agreement, India slowly deviated to portray Kashmir as her internal issue. Having failed to suppress Kashmiri sentiment, India tried to crush resistance through brutal laws enacted in the garb of combating terrorism. In the process, it unleashed the worst form of state terrorism against the Kashmiri masses through a process of huge military deployment, extrajudicial killings, arbitrary arrests, rapes and intimidation. This article makes an attempt to understand how the Indian state, used terrorism as a weapon to obfuscate, mask and in fact change the nature of a pure struggle for the right of self-determination to tag it as terrorism.

OBJECTIVE

Given the high-risk nature of arteriovenous malformation (AVM) resections, accurate pre- and intraoperative imaging of the vascular morphology is a crucial component that may contribute to successful surgical results. Surprisingly, current gold standard imaging techniques for surgical guidance of AVM resections are mostly preoperative, lacking the necessary flexibility to cater to intraoperative changes. Micro-Doppler imaging is a unique high-resolution technique relying on high frame rate ultrasound and subsequent Doppler processing of microvascular hemodynamics. In this paper the authors report the first application of intraoperative, coregistered magnetic resonance/computed tomograpy, micro-Doppler imaging during the neurosurgical resection of an AVM in the parietal lobe.

OBSERVATIONS

The authors applied intraoperative two-dimensional and three-dimensional (3D) micro-Doppler imaging during resection and were able to identify key anatomical features including draining veins, supplying arteries and microvasculature in the nidus itself. Compared to the corresponding preoperative 3D-digital subtraction angiography (DSA) image, the micro-Doppler images could delineate vascular structures and visualize hemodynamics with higher, submillimeter scale detail, even at significant depths (>5 cm). Additionally, micro-Doppler imaging revealed unique microvascular morphology of surrounding healthy vasculature.

LESSONS

The authors conclude that micro-Doppler imaging in its current form has clear potential as an intraoperative counterpart to preoperative contrast-dependent DSA, and the microvascular details it provides could build new ground to further study cerebrovascular pathophysiology.
Pseudoaneurysm as a differential for the computed tomography angiography “spot sign” in atypical presentations of intracerebral hemorrhage: illustrative case
Authors: Huang Zi Ling , Zhang Justin K. , Prim Michael , Coppens Jeroen
Published: November 2022

BACKGROUND

The computed tomography angiography (CTA) “spot sign” is a well-recognized radiographic marker in primary intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Although it has been demonstrated to represent an area of active hemorrhage or contrast extravasation, the exact pathophysiology remains unclear. Vascular mimics of the spot sign have been identified; however, those representing pseudoaneurysm and small vessel aneurysm have rarely been reported.

OBSERVATIONS

A 57-year-old female with a past medical history of hypertension and diabetes mellitus presented with 2 weeks of acute-onset, worsening headache. Computed tomography scanning showed a right interior frontal lobe intraparenchymal hemorrhage. CTA demonstrated a punctate focus of hyperattenuation within the hematoma, consistent with a spot sign, which corresponded to a distal anterior cerebral artery pseudoaneurysm on a cerebral angiogram. The patient subsequently underwent emergent resection of the pseudoaneurysm and hematoma evacuation without complications. Her postoperative course was unremarkable without acute concerns or residual symptoms at the 4-month follow-up.

LESSONS

The authors present a unique case of a distal anterior cerebral artery pseudoaneurysm presenting as a spot sign in a relatively young patient without underlying vascular disease. Given the need for emergent intervention, intracranial pseudoaneurysm is an important diagnosis to consider in the presence of a spot sign in atypical clinical presentations of primary ICH.

También se ponen de manifiesto cómo existen diferencias significativas en la aplicación de la RSE por categorías y por dimensiones de la sostenibilidad.
National Health Service: The Origin, Ideals, and Reality of Free Treatment, 1945-1950
Authors:   The Korean Association for the Social History of Medicine, Kim Jin-hyouk
Published: November 2022

Immediately after the liberation, the implementation of a social insurance system began in North Korea with the introduction of a system of free medical treatment. The North Korean leadership gradually expanded this free treatment system, but limited it to laborers, clerks, and their dependents at a time when it was difficult to adopt a full-scale system of free treatment. Due to a lack of sufficient healthcare resources, this implementation of free treatment was accompanied by the nationalization of medical care, which aimed to solve the lack of medical resources by meeting the demand for organized medical care through the new social insurance system. This study attempts to examine the basis for creating the prototype of the free treatment system in conjunction with the nationalization of medical care.
The implementation of North Korea’s free treatment system had a possibility to expand to a “full free treatment system.” First, the entire public could be included in the scope of the system, with the subjects of the social insurance system defined as “citizens” in its constitutional provisions. Second, state-run hospitals were required to offer the benefits of the social insurance system, even if their patients were not part of the system. When the nationalization of medical care became complete, patients would receive the benefits of the social insurance system, regardless of whether they were subject to it.
A mobile app for dyslexia biomarker detection in children at home or at school: Feasibility, Acceptability, Economic impact, Pilot Study and Survey Results
Authors: Eroglu Gunet , Köprülü Mertali , Karabacak Berdan
Published: November 2022

Dyslexia awareness is not high in societies. Although 10% of the population is thought to be dyslexic in every society, only 0.05 % of the population gets a formal diagnosis in Turkey. The financial situation of families of children with dyslexia is mostly not very good to investigate new rehabilitation opportunities. Mobile apps have been used to diagnose health conditions in recent years. Worldwide solutions for dyslexia do not exist as the solutions were language-dependent. We need an easily reachable, affordable, and worldwide acceptable biomarker detection app for dyslexia at schools because it potentially helps to prevent severe consequences through an early diagnosis that helps provide early intervention. No other research assessed the feasibility and acceptability of using this mobile app to detect dyslexia at home or school. Here we present a dyslexia biomarker detection app based on Z-scored QEEG data that can be used at home or school and has accomplished a high accuracy rate in diagnosing dyslexia. The mobile app can be used at home by parents or teachers at school. We have collected data from 207 children (96 of them have dyslexia, 111 of them are typically developing) between 7-10 years old for 60 sessions.  The data consists of the eyes-open resting state 2-minute QEEG data from 14-channels. Using the ANN machine learning method, children with dyslexia/ typically developing children (TDC) classification has been done with a high accuracy rate (98.8%). ANN yields the highest accuracy results with standardized QEEG data in the literature. A survey is created to assess the dyslexia biomarker detection app’s feasibility, acceptability, and economic impact. The results have shown that the biomarker detection app is found feasible and acceptable by families, however, it is found expensive to use at home as it includes the costly EEG headset. So, in order for this biomarker detection method to be used extensively at home, EEG headset prices should become more affordable or this dyslexia biomarker detection method can be used at schools.

The frosty pod of cacao is one of the major diseases affecting cacao in Ecuador. Considering the lack of standardized methods to quantify this disease on fruits, the aim of this study was to develop a standard area diagram to quantify the severity of the cacao frosty pod. To standardize the assessment, we developed one set of standard area diagrams with ten images. To validate the diagram, thirty raters estimated the severity of 42 scanned fruit images at different severity levels. The proposed diagram provided good levels of accuracy and precision, constituting thus a useful tool in epidemiological studies and for the development of strategies to control the cacao frosty pod as the plant breeding.

O objetivo desta pesquisa foi identificar e apresentar programas brasileiros de tratamentos voltados para homens que agridem suas companheiras, bem como discutir sua eficácia no processo de reabilitação do agressor. Acredita-se que o cuidado, a reabilitação e a ressocialização poderão reduzir e prevenir novas agressões, por tais aspectos a problemática da presente pesquisa norteia-se em: Quais são os programas brasileiros de tratamento voltados para homens que agridem suas companheiras e como ocorre a eficácia no processo de reabilitação do agressor? Trata-se de uma revisão de literatura, de artigos publicados entre 2011 e 2021, extraídos das plataformas de pesquisa SciElo e Google Acadêmico, no qual Foram utilizados os descritores: “Violência doméstica”, “Lei Maria da Penha”,” Agressor”, “Intervenção com agressores de mulheres”, “Programas de intervenção para homens agressores de mulheres. Ao longo dos estudos foi observado a existência de alguns poucos programas com trabalhos para os agressores, com destaque para trabalhos de grupo reflexivo, com objetivo de reeducação e ressocialização dos agressores para que, os mesmos, venham a ter consciência de suas ações assumindo a responsabilidade de seus atos contra a vítima. Os programas têm o objetivo de intervenção para proteção da vítima, prevenção e diminuição dos casos de violência e evitar a reincidência dos agressores. Os resultados são lentos, porém, eficazes e com um número bastante reduzido nos casos de reincidência dos agressores, tendo seus resultados mais satisfatórios do que somente o encarceramento como forma de punição.

Xantomas são lesões granulomatosas benignas, que possuem depósitos de derivados lipoprotéicos. Nesse contexto, o presente artigo tem como questão norteadora: quais os procedimentos devem ser realizados para o tratamento de xantoma em cão da raça poodle? Tendo como objetivo descrever um relato de caso de um cão da raça poodle com diagnóstico de xantoma. Para tanto, relata-se o caso de um canino da raça poodle, macho, de 14 anos, que apresentava, macroscopicamente, um nódulo em conjuntiva palpebral no olho direito, medindo 0,7 cm de diâmetro, ao corte branco com áreas amareladas. No exame microscópico, foi observado a proliferação neoplásica benigna de células epiteliais, identificando-se, com base no exame clínico e laboratorial, o diagnóstico de Conjuntiva palpebral: adenoma de meibômio/xantoma, que, tratando-se de uma neoplasia benigna, com bom prognóstico histopatológico, poderia ser removido mediante a excisão cirúrgica completa. Dessa maneira, o paciente foi submetido a uma cirurgia para excisão da lesão, através da técnica microcirúrgica, evoluindo clinicamente de maneira favorável, até a sua completa recuperação. Com isso, verificou-se que as lesões palpebrais em cães são relevantes na prática clínica e possuem grande impacto na qualidade de vida do animal, pois provocam atrito constante com as superfícies oculares. A literatura pesquisada ressalta, também, que para o tratamento de tumores palpebrais em cães e gatos, deve ser feito a exérese cirúrgica, devendo ser escolhida a técnica mais adequada para cada caso de acordo com a localização do tumor, extensão e profundidade. Além disso, sempre que possível, é preferível a excisão com margens cirúrgicas amplas para prevenir a recidiva e tratar conjuntamente a doença primária, se existir.

The in vitro antibacterial activity of the endophytic fungus Aspergillus neobridgeri PLR9 (isolated from the plant Pistacia lentiscus) against a wide range of tested bacteria were studied. The maximum inhibitory activity was found on malt extract agar medium with a mean inhibitory zone of 11.3 mm (p<0.05). The ethyl acetate extract showed a significant inhibitory zone of 13.4 mm (p<0.05), followed by dichloromethane 9.1 mm. Whereas, n-hexane extract showed no activity. The largest inhibition zones were observed against Staphylococcus aureus 3, S. aureus 5 and Escherichia coli 1 with 21.0 mm of diameter. The MIC's were ranged between 312.5 and 1,250 μg/mL. The MBC's were ≤2500 μg/mL for most Gram positive bacteria and ≥2500 μg/mL for most Gram negative bacteria. Time kill assay study against the Enterococcus faecium showed a bactericidal effect at 4x MIC and bacteriostatic against Acinetobacter baumannii at different concentrations. Moreover, it is the first report, PLR9 isolated as endophyte and studied for their antimicrobial activity.
