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.

Telah dilakukan penelitian secara kualitatif terhadap pengaruh antibakteri dari ekstrak kulit batang matoa (Pometia pinnata. Spp.) terhadap bakteri Gram positif Staphylococcus aureus . Sebelum dilakukan uji antibakteri, sampel yang telah diekstrak secara maserasi diuji fitokimia terlebih dahulu untuk menentukan kandungan metabolit sekunder yang telah diketahui berperan sebagai agen antibakteri. Setelah dilakukan uji fitokimia, ekstrak diuji aktivitas antibakterinya terhadap bakteri Staphylococcus aureus dengan menggunakan teknik difusi agar dengan cara sumuran. Ekstrak dilarutkan pada aquades steril dengan perbandingan 2 g ekstrak pada 2 mL air. Untuk kontrol positif, digunakan ciprofloxacin dan aquades steril sebagai kontrol negatif. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa ekstrak kulit batang matoa memiliki aktivitas antibakteri setelah diinkubasi selama 24 jam pada 37 OC. Dari 3 kali pengulangan dengan masing – masing 3 sumuran, didapat zona hambat masing – masing 16.84 mm, 12.5 mm dan 14.5 mm dengan kontrol positif 29.67 mm serta kontrol negatif 0 mm.

Latar Belakang. Penelitian seputar ozonazed water akhir-akhir ini cukup banyak diminati karena bahan ini mempunyai potensi antibakteria yang menjanjikan. Tujuan Penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh ozonated water pada pertumbuhan bakteri Staphylococcus Aureus. Metode Penelitian. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan cara mencampurkan 1 ml larutan bakteri 106 CFU/ml dengan 10 ml ozonated water konsentrasi 4 ppm selama 10 detik (kelompok I), 20 detik (kelompok II), 30 detik  (kelompok III), dan 40 detik (kelompok IV), akuades (kontrol negatif) kemudian semua diencerkan dengan akuabides 10ml. selanjutnya dari masing-masing kelompok diambil 0,01 ml untuk ditanam pada MHA, inkubasi 24 jam pada suhu 370 C dalam anaerobic jar kemudian dilakikan perhitungan koloni. Data dianalisis dengan Avana satu jalur dilanjutkan dengan uji LSD. Hasil. Avana satu jalur memperlihatkan adanya perbedaan yang bermakna antar kelompok perlakuan. Uji LSD menunjukkan perbedaan rerarta yang bermakna (p<0,05) antar kelompok I, II, III, IV dengan kelompok V (akuedes) terdapat perbedaan rerata yang bermakna antara kelompok I dan kelompok VI (iod). Tidak terdapat perbedaan bermakna antara kelompok II, III, IV terdapat kelompok VI (oid). Uji korelasi Produk Momen Pearson menunjukkan adanya korelasi negatif yang sangat kuat. Kesimpulan. Ozonated Water 4 ppm memiliki daya antibakreri dalam menghambat pertumbuhan Staphylococcus Aureus. Semakin lama waktu kontak, daya anti bakterinya semakain besar. Background. Some previous research show that the antibacterial effect of ozonated water is very promi-sing. The aim of this study was to know the antibacterial effect of ozonated water on staphylococcus aureus. Method. One ml of 106 CFU/ ml S. aureus suspension was mixed with 10 ml ozonated water for 10 second (group I), 20 second (group II), 30 second (group III), 40 second (group IV)As negative control S. aureus was mixed with aquadest (group V), and as positive control S. aureus was mixed with iod (groupVI). Furthermore, 0,01 ml from each group was cultivated on MHA, incubated for 24 hours-37C followed by colony caunting. Data was analyzed using one way anova followed by LSD. Result. One way anova show significant difference among the group and LSD test show significant mean different between group I, II, III, IV, and V. Significant difference can also be seen between group I and V. No significant difference between group II, III, IV and VI. Product momen test show strong negative correlation. Conclusion. Ozonated water 4 ppm has antibacterial effect on S. aureus. The longer the contact time, the stronger the antibacterial effect.

ABSTRACT: The association of natural compounds isolated from medicinal plants with conventional antibiotics, both with similar mechanisms of action, have become a viable alternative strategy to overcome the problem of drug resistance. This study aimed to evaluate the in vitro antimicrobial activity of tannic substances present in the bark of Anacardium occidentale and Anadenanthera colubrina against samples of Staphylococcus aureus when in combination with cephalexin. These combinations were evaluated by determining the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). For this purpose, tannins and cephalexin were serially dissolved in distilled water at concentrations ranging from 0.976 mg/mL to 500 mg/mL and 2 mg/mL to 512 mg/mL, respectively. When combined, the compounds inhibited S. aureus growth forming halos ranging from 0.9 to 46 mm with an MIC of 7.8 mg/mL (tannins) and 4 µg/mL (cephalexin). The resulting effect of the combination of natural and synthetic substances with similar mechanisms of action presented better results than when tested alone. Thus, the conclusion is that both the tannins and cephalexin had their antimicrobial action enhanced when used in combination, enabling the use of lower concentrations while maintaining their antibacterial effect against strains of S. aureus.

ABSTRACTThe safety and efficacy of a single 1,200-mg dose of the lipoglycopeptide oritavancin are currently being investigated in two global phase 3 studies of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections. In this study, anin vitropharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic model was established to compare the free-drug pharmacodynamics associated with a single 1,200-mg dose of oritavancin to once-daily dosing with daptomycin at 6 mg/kg of body weight and twice-daily dosing with vancomycin at 1,000 mg against three methicillin-resistantStaphylococcus aureus(MRSA) strains over 72 h. The area under the bacterial-kill curve (AUBKC) was used to assess the antibacterial effect of each dosing regimen at 24 h (AUBKC0-24), 48 h (AUBKC0-48), and 72 h (AUBKC0-72). The rapid bactericidal activities of oritavancin and daptomycin contributed to lower AUBKC0-24s for the three MRSA strains than with vancomycin (P< 0.05, as determined by analysis of variance [ANOVA]). Oritavancin exposure also resulted in a lower AUBKC0-48and AUBKC0-72against one MRSA strain and a lower AUBKC0-48for another strain than did vancomycin exposure (P< 0.05). Furthermore, daptomycin exposure resulted in a lower AUBKC0-48and AUBKC0-72for one of the MRSA isolates than did vancomycin exposure (P< 0.05). Lower AUBKC0-24s for two of the MRSA strains (P< 0.05) were obtained with oritavancin exposure than with daptomycin. Thus, the antibacterial effect from the single-dose regimen of oritavancin is as effective as that from either once-daily dosing with daptomycin or twice-daily dosing with vancomycin against the MRSA isolates tested in anin vitropharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic model over 72 h. These results provide further justification to assess the single 1,200-mg dose of oritavancin for treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections.
