Africa is very rich with biodiversity resources, vegetation and it is estimated about 40,000- 45,000 species of different flora. A very large number of plant species are medicinally used for the treatment of various diseases. Balanites aegyptiaca also called "desert date" indeed a plant with amazing benefits for human, Balanites aegyptiaca was popularly known to have added value and hope for person who went to pursue it for health. In Nigeria, there are evidences of serious bacterial infections with Gram-positive and Gram-negative Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli respectively. Balanites aegyptica is used to treat so many illnesses including laxative, diarrhea, hemorrhoid, stomach aches, jaundice, yellow fever, syphilis and epilepsy. The Balanite aegyptica sample was sun dried for easy removal of the seed from the shell; it was washed to remove un-wanted particles and was dried off then pounded fine powder using mortar and pestle. Antibacterial activity of the Balanites aegyptica oil at different concentrations on staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli bacteria and different meters in diameter of the zones was observed. The results shows significant effect of Balanites oil on bacteria by observing the presence of clear spaces known as the zone of inhibitions in the experiments.

High incidence of mycoses were found in the guts and malpighian tubes of Phlebokomus papatasi from the Jordan Valley and P. tobbi from Zakinthos, Greece. Infections with several different bacteria were also found in the guts of female P. tobbi. Fungi cultured from guts of laboratory reared P. papatasi that had similar mycoses were identified as Aspergillus scierotiorum and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Fungi-infected laboratory reared P. papatasi were refractory to artificial infections with a Leishmania major strain specific to them. The crop contents of P. papatasi, where sugar meals are stored, demonstrated antibacterial activity against the following bacterial species in culture: Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Shigella sonnei, Streptococcus group A and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It is postulated that the bacteria-free gut normal to sandflies is effected by the bacterial inhibitor present in the crop.

This study aims to examine the antibacterial activity of ethanol extract and essential oil of Kalamansi citrus leaves (Citrofortunella microcarpa) against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli bacteria. The raw material of Kalamansi citrus leaves is obtained from the Village of Pondok Kubang, Bengkulu Tengah (3.70060S, 102.35780E). Ethanol extract from Kalamansi citrus leaves was obtained by maceration using ethanol 96%, then ethanol extract was made dilution concentration 40 ; 20; , 10; and 5%. The essential oil of Kalamansi citrus leaves is obtained by water-vapor distillation, then made variations of concentration 20;, 15;, 10;  and 5%. The method used to test the antibacterial activity is the paper disc diffusion method , the antibacterial activity is shown by the diameter of the inhibiting  zone formed. The data of antibacterial test result were analyzed by using One Way Anova test which showed the effect of treatment on the growth of test bacteria seen from the value (P <0,01) and continued by Duncan test to know the effect of the treatment. The results showed that ethanol extract of Kalamansi citrus leaves had antibacterial activity against S. aureus and E. coli bacteria with moderate inhibitory diameter is  7.20 and 5.73 mm at concentration 40%, while antibacterial activity on essential oil of Kalamansi citrus leaves is categorized as strong with inhibition zone diameter is 14.83 and 13.00 mm at concentration 20%.

The isolation of antibiotic producing bacteria from marine soil and comparative analysis of same with ciprofloxacin and amoxicillin against staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli was carried out in a Microbiology Laboratory of Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University, Uli. This was done to isolate antibiotic producing bacteria and compare same with existing commercially available antibiotics with a view to using marine soil in the treatment of common bacterial infections. Soil samples were collected from Bonny Island Sea, Port Harcourt. One gram of mixed soil sample was serially diluted and spread-plated on nutrient agar plates. The representative isolates obtained were sub-cultured to get a pure culture. Morphological, biochemical, physiological characteristics of the bacteria were analyzed. Agar well diffusion was carried out. One isolate had a substantial antibacterial activity with 3.5mm zone of inhibition against two test bacteria used in the preliminary screening. The isolate was marked as Streptomyces (STR I) and was identified as Streptomyces griseus while other isolates did not show any antibacterial activity. Ciprofloxacin showed the highest antibacterial activity to both Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli of 3.7mm and 4.0mm respectively while Amoxicillin showed antibacterial activity of 3.5mm and 2.7mm respectively. This reveals that antibiotic producing bacteria from marine soil are also effective in antimicrobial activity and could be used for antimicrobial chemotherapy.

Ceftriaxone treatment (50 to 80 mg/kg once daily) was given to 201 children between 1 month and 18 years of age. There were 201 serious bacterial infections, including epiglottitis, pneumonia, cellulitis, osteomyelitis, septic arthritis, pyelonephritis, sepsis, and meningitis. The common pathogens responsible for pediatric infections isolated from these patients included Haemophilus influenzae, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Escherichia coli. The overall clinic cure rate was 94%. Ten patients were clinically improved but not cured. There were two clinical failures. Bacteriologic failure occurred in six patients. The overall bacteriologic cure rate was 97%. Twenty patients (10%) experienced adverse effects; none required discontinuation of therapy. The efficacy, safety, spectrum, and convenience of ceftriaxone monotherapy make this antimicrobial agent a candidate for the treatment of choice of selected serious pediatric infections.

Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli are pathogenic bacteria agent of many human diseases. Those bacteria infect in various levels and also been antibiotic resistants. Bacterial resistance has become a serious global problem. The purposes of this study were to isolate and identify the symbiotic bacteria of the Sea Urchin that have an antibacterial activity of the Strain Multi-Drug Resistant (MDR) against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Sea Urchin was taken from Panjang island, Jepara Indonesia at 2-3 m depth. The symbiotic bacteria were isolated from Sea Urchin by using dilution method and spread plate method. Phenotypic characteristics was observed on colony shape, color and texture of growing bacteria. While the streak method was used to purify bacterial symbion. The antibacterial activity test was performed using overlay method. The results showed that 3 out of 37 isolates have antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The BB.03.35 isolate was selected for molecular identification due to the largest inhibitory zone diameter. The sequence of this bacterium showed 97% homology and closely related to Pseudoalteromonas flavipulchra.
