Antimicrobial Activity of Two Diatom (Microalgae) Species Isolated from the Coast of Gaza, Palestine
The objective
-To assess the antimicrobial activities of extracts of two marine diatom species; Amphora sp. and Cylindrotheca sp. against clinically important bacteria.
-explore the anti microbial ingredient s of amphora algae.
-investigate the synergistic effect of amphora extract with other anti biotic showing resistance toward target bacteria.
The significance
natural products which show anti bacterial action may have little toxic effect than the routinely used antibiotic.
-synergistic effect if any will probably reduced the dose of commercially available anti biotic.

The effect of siwak against chromogenic bacteria and dental caries.
Bright white teeth are highly regarded and sought after in today’s society. Consumers invest a lot of money on cosmetic dentistry and in commercial products that promise an aesthetically pleasing smile. It follows that consumers should want to avoid or limit exposure to materials that contribute to the discoloration of teeth.
There has been a recent increase in interest in the treatment of tooth staining and discoloration as shown by the large number of tooth whitening agents appearing on the market. Some of these agents are sold as 'over-the-counter' products and have no professional involvement in their application.
Application of antibiotics for prevention and treatment of dental caries would be harmful for the patients and the development of multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains of bacteria is also possible
Aims: the aim of this study was to assess the antimicrobial activity of the miswak chewing stick (Salvadora persica) on Actinomyces and S. mutans
