Background: Using smoke from burning donkey dung has been popular in the treatment of many diseases in Iran. Objective: This study aimed to investigating the antimicrobial properties of donkey dung smoke on multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacteria isolated from urinary infection. Materials and Methods: First, 300 and 200 urine samples were collected from pregnant and non-pregnant women in Isfahan, Iran. Then in each group, 100 bacterial isolates including Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia, Proteus vulgaris, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus saprophyticus were isolated. Antibiotic resistant protocol was determined by antibiogram test. Donkey dung was sterilized, disintegrated, and heated. The smokes were concentrated in n-hexane solvent (65%) and were collected after evaporation of the solvent. Finally, the antibacterial activities of the concentrations of 0.25, 0.5 and 1 mg/mL of the smokes were detected using disk diffusion and macrodilution methods. Results: The most abundant MDR isolates causing urinary infections in pregnant and non-pregnant women was Escherichia coli. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of donkey dung smoke on MDR isolates from pregnant women were 0.25 mg/mL and 0.5 mg/mL, respectively. In the case of MDR isolates in non-pregnant women, the MIC of the smoke on Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus was 0.25 mg/mL, and the MBC on these isolates was 0.5 mg/mL. Conclusion: The smokes from donkey dung investigated in the present study have suitable potentials for controlling the infections after In vivo analysis.

With the developing time, there is a tremendous need to deliver highly potential antimicrobial drugs and treatment from different herbaceous plants because plants are now days commonly used to provide resistance against disease-causing pathogens. This study has been done by using agar well diffusion method. The bacterial along with fungal strains were collected and were cultured on agar plates. Afterwards, these plates were put in incubate for 24 hours at 370C temperature. Within this duration, the zones were developing all around the plates, wherever plant extracts were poured. The activities of microorganisms were measured by using inhibition diameter zones. The inhibition zones were shown clearly on petri plates. Antimicrobial activities of plant extracts of Artemissia absinthium and Butea monosperma tested against bacterial and fungal strains viz. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli as well as fungal strains were also used viz. Aspergillus niger and Fusarium oxysporum.

En el presente trabajo se evaluaron las actividades antimicrobianas de extractos etanólicos y hexánicos de nueve especies de macroalgas marinas recolectadas en la zona intermareal de la playa San Francisco, Ancón, de Lima, Perú. La evaluación se realizó in vitro frente a un panel de bacterias estándar Gram positivas (Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538, Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633 y Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 51922) y Gram negativas (Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 9027 y Salmonella Typhimurium ATCC 14028). Los extractos etanólicos fueron de mayor rendimiento (67%) en comparación a los hexánicos (33%), en especial frente a los Gram positivos, siendo el extracto obtenido de Ulva enteromorpha var. intestinalis y U. nematoidea los más activos frente a S. aureus ATCC 6538 (74.1 y 78.2 % de inhibición, respectivamente). Los extractos etanólicos de Cladophora sp y U. nematoidea frente a B. subtilis ATCC 6633 presentaron inhibiciones entre moderada y baja (52.5 y 33%, respectivamente). Los extractos etanólicos de U. enteromorpha y Cladophora sp frente a S. Typhimurium presentaron solo 40% de inhibición. El extracto etanólico de Cladophora sp fue el único que presentó actividad antimicrobiana frente a las cinco cepas bacterianas y fue elegida para determinar la Concentración Mínima Inhibitoria (CMI), que resultó en 12.5 y 25 mg/ml frente a B. subtilis ATCC 6633 y S. aureus ATCC 6538, respectivamente. Se concluye que, la mayoría de las macroalgas estudiadas contienen compuestos inhibitorios, cuyos extractos etanólico y hexánico son capaces de inhibir el crecimiento de bacterias patógenas.

Over the last few years, there has been a decrease in amount of effective antibiotics, coincide with the lack of newantibiotics relevant for the treatment of Gram negative multi-drug resistant organisms infections. This problem can beovercome by the assessment and re-introduction of old antibiotics such as fosfomycin. Fosfomycin is a broad spectrumantibiotic that is bactericidal. This study aimed to find out the sensitivity pattern of clinical isolate multi-drug resistantGram negative bacteria to fosfomycin with descriptive cross sectional method. The sample used in this study wasclinical isolates collection of Microbiology Laboratory Faculty of Medicine, University of Riau from Hospitals inPekanbaru. The result showedsensitivity to fosfomycin Escherichia coli producing ESBL (88%), Klebsiella pneumoniaeproducing ESBL (95%), Acinotobacter baumannii resistant meropenem (27%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa resistantmeropenem (36%) and K.pneumoniae resistant meropenem (70%). Fosfomycin can be used as alternative therapy forinfections caused by Gram-negative Multi-drug resistant organisms.

An aged female donkey developed a severe, localised, suppurative panniculitis secondary to a skin wound. Bacterial culture of swabs taken from the wound gave a profuse growth of multi-drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a profuse growth of Escherichia coli and a moderate growth of beta-haemolytic Streptococcus species. The lesion did not respond to conventional medical and surgical treatment and continued to progress. Six applications of sterile larvae (maggots) of the common greenbottle, Lucilia sericata, were used to debride the wound successfully.

The lack of antibiotics with a novel mode of action associated with the spread of drug resistant bacteria make the fight against infectious diseases particularly challenging. A quinoline core is found in several anti-infectious drugs, such as mefloquine and bedaquiline. Two main objectives were set in this work. Firstly, we evaluated the anti-mycobacterial properties of the previous quinolines 3, which have been identified as good candidates against ESKAPEE (Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacter spp. and Escherichia coli) bacteria. Secondly, a new series 4 was designed and assessed against the same bacteria strains, taking the pair of enantiomers 3m/3n as the lead. More than twenty compounds 4 were prepared through a five-step asymmetric synthesis with good enantiomeric excesses (>90%). Interestingly, all compounds of series 3 were efficient on M. avium with MIC = 2–16 µg/mL, while series 4 was less active. Both series 3 and 4 were generally more active than mefloquine against the ESKAPEE bacteria. The quinolines 4 were either active against Gram-positive bacteria (MIC ≤ 4 µg/mL for 4c–4h and 4k/4l) or E. coli (MIC = 32–64 µg/mL for 4q–4v) according to the global lipophilicity of these compounds.

El objetivo del presente trabajo fue evaluar la eficiencia de dos métodos para medir actividad inhibitoria de extractos vegetales etanólicos nativos del Departamento de Sucre sobre bacterias y levadura patógenas de humanos y plantas. Los muestreos se realizaron en los municipios de Morroa y Sincelejo. Las hojas de las plantas Melia Azederach, Sapium sp, Jatropha gossypilia, Psidium guajava, Origanum vulgare Melissa officinalis, Eucalyptus sp y Cymbopogon citratus fueron procesadas utilizando los métodos de percolación y de soxhlet para la extracción de los extractos. Se evaluaron los métodos de orificio sobre agar (método 1) y el método de disco sensitivos (método 2) para medir el efecto inhibitorio sobre Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella oxytoca, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, Bulkolderia glumaea y Zygosaccharomyces microellipsoides. Los resultados obtenidos demuestran que el método 2 permite una mayor eficacia e interpretación de los resultados con relación al método 1 donde se observó difusión de los extractos en el orificio, lo cual crea interferencia en la medición. Este es el primer trabajo en el departamento de Sucre donde se evalúan dos métodos para determinar actividad inhibitoria de un grupo amplio de plantas nativas sobre bacterias y levadura patógenas.
