Plasma Treatments

Non-thermal (low-temperature) physical plasma is under intensive study as an alternative approach to control superficial wound and skin infections when the effectiveness of chemical agents is weak due to natural pathogen or biofilm resistance. The purpose of this study was to test the individual susceptibility of pathogenic bacteria to non-thermal argon plasma and to measure the effectiveness of plasma treatments against bacteria in biofilms and on wound surfaces. Overall, Gram-negative bacteria were more susceptible to plasma treatment than Gram-positive bacteria. For the Gram-negative bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Burkholderia cenocepacia and Escherichia coli, there were no survivors among the initial 105 c.f.u. after a 5 min plasma treatment. The susceptibility of Gram-positive bacteria was species- and strain-specific. Streptococcus pyogenes was the most resistant with 17 % survival of the initial 105 c.f.u. after a 5 min plasma treatment. Staphylococcus aureus had a strain-dependent resistance with 0 and 10 % survival from 105 c.f.u. of the Sa 78 and ATCC 6538 strains, respectively. Staphylococcus epidermidis and Enterococcus faecium had medium resistance. Non-ionized argon gas was not bactericidal. Biofilms partly protected bacteria, with the efficiency of protection dependent on biofilm thickness. Bacteria in deeper biofilm layers survived better after the plasma treatment. A rat model of a superficial slash wound infected with P. aeruginosa and the plasma-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus strain Sa 78 was used to assess the efficiency of argon plasma treatment. A 10 min treatment significantly reduced bacterial loads on the wound surface. A 5-day course of daily plasma treatments eliminated P. aeruginosa from the plasma-treated animals 2 days earlier than from the control ones. A statistically significant increase in the rate of wound closure was observed in plasma-treated animals after the third day of the course. Wound healing in plasma-treated animals slowed down after the course had been completed. Overall, the results show considerable potential for non-thermal argon plasma in eliminating pathogenic bacteria from biofilms and wound surfaces.

Antibacterial activities of Xanthium strumarium L. (Asteraceae) was carried out in laboratory. Distilled water and methanol extracts of the leaves of plant was prepared. The antibacterial activity was studied against six pathogenic bacteria, three gram negative: Klebsiella pneumoniae (ATCC 15380), Proteus mirabilis (ATCC 49132), Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922) and three gram positive: Bacillus subtilis (ATCC 6633), Enterococcus faecalis (ATCC 29212), Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25932) at different concentrations (50 mg/ml, 100 mg/ml, 150 mg/ml, 200 mg/ ml, 250 mg/ml) of leaf extracts of X. strumurium. The phytochemical screening depicted the presence of terpenoids, saponins, flavonoids, tannins and alkaloids. The antibacterial activity of extracts was determined by disc diffusion method and zone of inhibition (ZOI) was measured. Gram negative bacteria was found more resistant than gram positive bacteria. The most susceptible bacterium was S. aureus while the most resistant bacterium was E. coli. Methanolic extract was found more effective than distilled water. These findings suggest that extracts obtained from leaves of X. strumurium possess biobactericidal potential, which can suitably be exploited for making antibacterial drugs.J. Nat. Hist. Mus.

Antibacterial Performance

Secondary metabolites from the shoots and roots of three Rumex species collected from three different habitats were investigated (Rumex dentatus collected from cultivated land, R. pictus collected from the coastal desert and R. vesicarius collected from the inland desert) and tested for antioxidant activity as well as for anti-microbial activity against some human pathogenic bacteria. The present study indicated that the quantitative analysis of shoot and root extracts of three Rumex spp. were found to be rich in tannins and phenolics composition. The aerial parts of the three plants exhibited the highest significant values compared to the root parts. The MeOH extracts of Rumex species showed adequate antioxidant activity, wherein the IC50 values of the MeOH from the cultivated sample was 41.61 and 31.31 mg mL-1, coastal samples were 34.99 and 23.99 mg mL-1, while the sample of inland showed IC50 value of 41.59 and 31.67 mg mL-1, for root and shoot, respectively. Furthermore, using a filter paper disc assay, the MeOH extracts of the three Rumex species showed a substantial anti-microbial inhibitory effect on the growth of 10 pathogenic bacteria. According to sensitivity, the tested organisms could be sequenced as following: E. coli < K. pneumoniae ˂ S. typhi < P. aeruginosa for Gram-negative bacteria and B. subtilis < S. pneumoniae ˂ L. monocytoyenes < S. epidermis < S. aureus < B. cereus for Gram-positive bacteria. In addition, the antibacterial performance of R. dentatus root and R. vesicarius shoot MeOH extract is 100% broad spectrum against Gram-negative bacteria. A shoot of R. dentatus and R. pictus MeOH extract against Gram-positive bacteria is 83.3% broad spectrum. A further study is recommended for more characterization of the major compounds and assesses their efficiency and biosafety.

A total of 115 samples (oral cavity swabs) were collected from healthy individuals. Sixty eight isolates were identified as Streptococcus salivarius using microscopical, biochemical and serotyping tests. The ability of Streptococcus salivarius local isolates to produce salivaricin was detected by testing the inhibitory activity against gram positive bacteria and gram negative bacteria. Results showed that only 26 isolates were capable of producing salivaricin and showed inhibitory activity against some gram positive isolates especially S. pyogenes, while no inhibitory effect was noticed towards the gram negative isolates that were used in this study. S. salivarius IS9 was selected according to its efficiency of inhibiting activity against a number of tested bacteria.The results of determination of antagonistic effect of IS9 against all local isolates of S. salivarius showed that 45 isolates of them were affected, while 23 isolates were not affected.
