RESUMO: Objetivando conhecer a situação da tuberculose ovina no Maranhão, avaliaram-se 343 ovinos da região sudoeste do estado, 247 fêmeas e 96 machos, com idade acima de 6 meses, por meio do teste cervical comparativo (TCC), com inoculação de tuberculinas na região cervical direita. Cranialmente, injetou-se derivado proteico purificado (PPD) aviário; e caudalmente, PPD bovino, em doses individuais de 0,1 mL. Todos os animais apresentaram resultado negativo para tuberculose, entretanto, 65 ovinos apresentaram reação à tuberculina bovina superior à aviária. Para investigar a possibilidade de baixa sensibilização ou anergia em animais com tuberculose avançada, foi necropsiado um ovino caquético, idade acima de quatro anos, com resultado negativo ao TCC, porém, com reação à tuberculina aviária e linfonodos aumentados com consistência endurecida. Os resultados indicaram infecções por C. pseudotuberculosis, Actinomyces pyogenes, Staphylococcus aureus e Mycobacterium sp. A cultura e o isolamento resultaram em Pseudomonas aeruginosas e Bacillus sp. Não foram visualizadas estruturas bacterianas compatíveis com bacilo álcool ácido resistente (BAAR). Os resultados confirmam ausência de animais reagentes ao M. bovis, pressupondo inexistência da tuberculose em ovinos na região estudada.

El cáncer es la segunda causa de muerte en el mundo, y específicamente en Chile el cáncer colorrectal es el único que presenta un aumento sostenido de la mortalidad en la última década. La búsqueda de nuevos agentes quimioterapeúticos anticancerígenos ha propuesto a los microorganismos extremófilos como una fuente potencial para obtener moléculas citotóxicas, que induzcan apoptosis en las células tumorales. Las condiciones extremas del continente antártico y las presiones selectivas por el espacio y los nutrientes que se producen entre los microorganismos del rizobioma de la planta Deschampsia antarctica Desv sugirieron como hipótesis que las bacterias rizosféricas aisladas en la Antártica secretan al sobrenadante de cultivo moléculas bioactivas que inhiben la invasión y proliferación de líneas tumorales humanas de origen colorrectal mediante un mecanismo apoptótico. En este sentido, el objetivo general del trabajo fue identificar y caracterizar a moléculas bioactivas con acción antinvasiva y antiproliferativa, además, determinar el mecanismo inhibitorio de la proliferación en líneas tumorales humanas de origen colorrectal. Los resultados del primer objetivo específico demostraron que los sobrenadantes de cultivo de los aislados rizosféricos antárticos K2 y MI disminuyeron la viabilidad de la línea celular de adenocarcinoma colorrectal LoVo en el ensayo de reducción metabólica del MTT. Además, como los sobrenadantes no tuvieron efecto en la viabilidad de las bacterias E. coli y Staphylococcus aureus, y tampoco en los hongos unicelulares Candida albicans y Saccharomyces cerevisiae, el resultado indicó que la actividad antiproliferativa fue selectiva hacia la línea celular LoVo.

Antibiotik adalah bahan obat yang sangat memegang peranan penting dalam menanggulangi penyakit infeksi. Senyawa antimikroba dapat diperoleh dari tumbuh-tumbuhan, dan mikroba. Senyawa antimikrob yang dihasilkan oleh mikroba memiliki keunggulan dibandingkan dengan antibiotik sintetik karena memiliki sifat yang lebih efektif, sebab targetnya spesifik serta toksisitasnya rendah. Tujuan dari penelitian yang telah dilakukan ialah untuk mengisolasi bakteri dari tanah yang mampu menghasilkan senyawa antimikrob, serta untuk menguji aktivitas penghambtannya terhadap  pertumbuhan Escherichia coli dan Staphylococcus aureus. Metode yang telah digunakan dalam penelitian ini ialah isolasi, purifikasi, dan seleksi bakteri dari sampel tanah dengan metode uji penghambatan sedangkan bakteri Bacillus sp. Merupakan bakteri pembanding. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian yang diperoleh terdapat 2 isolat yang berpotensi memiliki aktivitas antimikroba yaitu isolat 1 dan isolate 4. Isolat 1 lebih berpotensi menghambat E. coli dengan indeks hambat 4.0 mm dibandingkan dengan penghambatan S. aureus dengan indeks hambat 3.1 mm. Sedangkan isolat 4 lebih berpotensi menghambat S. aureus dengan indeks hambat 2.8 mm dibandingkan dengan penghambatan terhadap E. coli dengan indeks hambat 1.4 mm.

The essential oils of flowers and remaining parts of the plant Senecio gallicus (Asteraceae), growing wild in Sfax (Tunisia), were obtained by hydrodistillation over a period of two years (2012 and 2013). Their analysis by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS), led to a total number of 36 components, belonging to different classes of chemical compounds. Oils compositions were characterized by the abundance of monoterpenes hydrocarbons, the major compounds present in flowers for the two years of study were  respectively the sabinene (49.45% and 28.86%), the α-pinene (9.67% and 9.1%), and the β-myrcene (9.88% and 10.97%). These compounds were also dominant in the essential oils of the plant without flowers where they represent (65.34% and 55%) for the sabinene, (4.14% and 7.3%) for α-pinene, and (6.86% and 0%) for β-myrcene. Obtained essential oils were tested for many biological activities and showed a moderate effect against the fungus Trichoderma reesei and bacteria such as Bacillus sp and Staphylococcus aureus. This study of the Senecio gallicus essential oils represents the first one in Tunisia.

A series of fourteen derivatives of adamantane was synthesised. The new compound 4-(adamant-1-ylmethoxycarbonyl)phthalanhydride obtained from 1-adamantane-methanol and trimellitic anhydride chloride appeared very useful for preparation of a number of N-substituted phthalimides. Antimicrobial activity of the newly obtained derivatives such as, for example, 4-(adamant-1-ylmethoxycarbonyl)-N-(5-carboxypentamethylene)p hthalimide or 4-(adamant-1-ylmethoxycarbonyl)-N-(L-alanyl)phthalimide was tested against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus sp., Micrococcus flavus and Enterococcus faecium. The minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) for these compounds against S. aureus were 0.022 and 0.05 microg/ml, respectively.

Cobalt(II) chloride reacts with 2-aminobenzimidazole derivatives to give complexes of the formula [CoL2Cl2], where L=2-aminobenzimidazole 1-benzyl-2-aminobenzimidazole and 1-(4-methylbenzyl)-2-aminobenzimidazole. All the ligands and their cobalt(II) complexes were evaluated for their in vitro antimicrobial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus sp. Staphylococcus aureus, Sarcina lutea and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined for all ligands and their complexes. It was found that tested compounds were more active against gram-positive than gram-negative bacteria. None of the compounds were significantly effective against yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, except 2-aminobenzimidazole complex, which moderately inhibited the growth of yeast. 1-(4-methylbenzil)-2-aminobenzimidazole was found to be slightly active against Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The same ligand showed the lowest MIC value of 60 (g/ml against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, as well as 125 (g/ml, against Bacillus sp. and Sarcina lutea. The MIC value of its cobalt(II) complex was 60 (g/ml against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Cobalt(II) complex with 1-benzyl-2-aminobenzimidazole showed the lowest MIC value of 60 (g/ml against Staphylococcus aureus. The effect of ligand and complex structure on the antimicrobial activity was discussed.

The results of the FTIR analysis of the hot aqueous extract of bark indicated that it contains many groups and active compounds, and the results of the bacterial tests conducted by digging and spreading method showed a high inhibitory activity of the hot aqueous extract of cinnamon against all pathogenic bacterial strains and at different concentrations. It was observed that the highest efficacy of the extract was against bacteria an inhibition diameter of 35 mm at concentration 800 mg/mL in Bacillus sp. while the bacterial strains were resistant to most of the antibiotics, in the study (Amoxicillin, Gentamycin, Ampicillin, Erythromycin, Tetracycline) except for gentamicin, which showed inhibition of bacteria Staphylococcus aureus with a diameter 19mm and Serratia sp. in diameter17mm. We conclude from the study that the cinnamon plant contains many active compounds and that the hot aqueous extract of Cinnamomum cassia (cinnamon) bark has a high inhibitory ability for different bacterial strains, which exceeded the inhibitory ability of antibiotics.

A country like Bangladesh where textile industries are the main source of developing economy, pollution problem from such industries creates a huge risk for the environment. Textile industries discharge a huge amount of effluent containing various harmful chemicals including synthetic dyes that are very stable and threat to the living organisms. This study deals with the potential decolorization and biodegradation of Bemacron Yellow HP-2R (BY), Bemacron Red RS (BR) and Bemacron blue RS 01 (BB) dyes using bacteria isolated from textile effluent. The effluent and soil samples were collected from different locations of discharge point. Only two isolates were screened out after primary screening using dye supplemented nutrient agar media. Following colony morphology, physiology and biochemical analysis, they were presumptively identified as Bacillus sp. and Staphylococcus aureus. They were subjected to decolorization of 0.002 g/l BY, BR and BB dyes. Bacillus sp. showed superior decolorization potential of BR (71%) and BB (83%) dyes after 5 days of incubation. Whereas, Staphylococcus aureus showed 79% decolorization of BY dye after 5 days incubation. Decolorization efficacy can be further improved by optimizing environmental conditions and process parameters. Stamford Journal of Microbiology, Vol.9(1) 2019: 5-8
