Alimentary plants were screened for antibacterial activity against a penicillin G resistant strain of Staphylococcus aureus. Twenty-five samples of plant material corresponding to 21 species from 13 families were used. Both aqueous and ethanol extracts were obtained from them. Antibacterial activity was determined by the agar-well diffusion method, using cephazolin as a standard antibiotic. Seventeen ethanol extracts were found active. Eugenia caryophyllata (clavo de olor*) flowers, Myristica fragans (nuez moscada*) seeds, Theobroma cacao (cacao*) seed bark, Triticum sp (trigo*) fruit, Zea mays (maíz*) fruit and Piper nigrum (pimienta*) ripe fruit produced some of the more active extracts (*= Argentine vulgar names).

Some novel N-phenylpyrazolines were synthesized and investigated for their antibacterial activitiy. Chalcones 2-4 which were prepared from acetophenone and veratraldehyde derivatives were reacted with phenylhydrazine to give N-phenylpyrazolines 5-7. All of the synthesized compounds were characterized using FTIR, GC-MS, and NMR spectrometers. Further, antibacterial activity of N-phenylpyrazolines were evaluated by agar well-diffusion method against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, and Shigella flexneri. The highest activity (highest inhibition zone) of compound 5 was 2.6 mm (at 1000 ppm) against B. subtillis, compound 6 was 7.25 mm (at 1000 ppm) against S. aureus, and compound 7 was 6.75 mm (at 500 ppm) against S. aureus. The results indicated that compound 6 and 7 exhibited promising antibacterial activity.

ABSTRACT  Akway (Drimys piperita) is a woody, evergreen and aromatic plant that belongs to family winteraceae. This plant is used by Sougb tribe lived in Sururey village, District of Anggi, to enhance the vitality of body. The objectives of the research were to determine antimicrobial stability of akway bark extracts influenced by heating time of 100OC, levels of acidity (pH) and salt contents.. Antimicrobial assays were done by using agar well diffusion method against four species of bacteria, i.e.  Escherichia coli ATCC25922, Bacillus cereus ATCC10876, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC27853 and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC25923. The results showed that ethanolic extracts of akway bark only inhibited growth of B. cereus and S. aureus with minimum inhibitory concentration 0,99% and 0,89% . The levels of concentration and acidity of ethanol extracts  influenced the antimicrobial capacity of extracts.. Whereas heating time on 100OC during 25 minutes and salt contents  up to 5% of extract solution did not influence the antimicrobial stability of  akway bark extracts. Key words : akway, extracts, antimicrobe, pH, Heating, salt ABSTRAK Akway (Drimys piperita) adalah tumbuhan berkayu, aromatik dan hijau sepanjang tahun dan tergolong dalam suku winteraceae. Tumbuhan ini digunakan oleh Suku Sougb yang bermukim di desa Sururey Distrik Anggi, untuk mengobati malaria dan meningkatkan vitalitas tubuh. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menentukan stabilitas antimikroba ekstrak kulit kayu akway pada waktu pemanasan ekstrak pada 100OC, tingkat keasaman (pH) dan kandungan garam. Pengujian antimikroba dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode difusi agar terhadap empat spesies bakteri yaitu Escherichia coli ATCC25922, Bacillus cereus ATCC10876, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC27853 and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC25923. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa ekstrak etanol kulit kayu akway hanya dapat menghambat bakteri Bacillus cereus dan Staphylococcus aureus dengan konsentrasi hambat minimum masing-masing adalah 0,99% dan 0,89%. Tingkat konsentrasi dan keasaman (pH) mempengaruhi kapasitas antimikroba ekstrak etanol kulit kayu akway. Sedangkan perlakuan pemanasan pada suhu 100OC dengan lama pemanasan sampai dengan 25 menit dan penambahan garam NaCl sampai konsentrasi 5%  tidak berpengaruh pada stabilitas antimikroba ekstrak etanol kulit kayu akway.

Human pathogenic microorganisms have developed resistance in response to indiscriminative use of commercial drugs. Plants produce many secondary metabolites with microbiocidal activity hence their use in traditional medicine. Herbalists in Kenya use medicinal plants including Solanum incanum in treating microbial infections. Though S. incanum has been used to treat different diseases in humans and animals, there is little information on antimicrobial activities of its extracts against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. In this study, phytochemical analysis and antibacterial activity of solanum incanum leaves, roots and seeds extracts were determined. Ethanolic and aqueous extracts of leaf, root and seed of concentrations 25, 50, 75 and 100, and amoxicillin 25 mg/ml (control) with three replications were used for antibacterial analysis by the agar-well diffusion method. The results were subjected to analysis of variance at P < 0.05. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides, saponins, steroids and tannins. Solanum incanum exhibited significant antibacterial effect against the two test bacteria. Ethanol extracts were more active than extracts against the bacteria. Ethanol extracts at 100% inhibited growth of Staphylococcus aureus more than the Escherichia coli. The zones of inhibition for Staphylococcus aureus were 35.0±0.6 mm, 30.94±0.3 mm and 30.14±0.64mm for seed, root and leaves respectively.On the other hand, the zones of inhibition for Escherichia coliat 100% ethanol were 27.20±0.06, 23.14±0.12 and 21.0±0.4 seed, root and leaves respectively.The results validate the use of these plants in ethnomedicine and potential of this plant in treating infections caused by the two bacteria.

Antibacterial activity of honey obtained from an apiculture farm was tested on Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogens isolated from wound pus was observed. Agar well diffusion method was used to determine the antibacterial activity of honey on the test organisms. Moreover, the result was that the honey sample had heavy antibacterial activities against the test organisms, which was revealed by the zone of inhibition obtained. The antibacterial activity increased with the increase in concentrations of honey and showed a clear zone for both organisms. Therefore honey can be accepted as an antibacterial agent for the treatment of wounds, burns, bedsores, and ulcers.
