The viability of microorganisms can be determined by the total dehydrogenase activity (DHA). Thus, a reduction in total dehydrogenase activity is an indication of the bactericidal effect of plant extract. The antimicrobial potentials of ethanol extract of Combretum dolichopentalum (EECD) leaves on microbial isolates from stool, degenerated wound, and high vaginal swab were determined by the total dehydrogenase activity. The microbial cells were standardized in a spectrophotometer to an optical density of 0.70 at 420 nm and used as standardized cell suspension (inoculum) in the dehydrogenase assay. The results obtained indicated that EECD leaves were effective antimicrobial agents against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhi and Streptococcus pneumonia isolates. Threshold inhibitory concentrations of the extracts showed that EECD leaves inhibited dehydrogenase activity in all the organisms in a dose dependent manner. At 355.78 μg/ml, EECD leaves achieved an IC50against E. coli, and at 349.42 µg/ml and 843.80 µg/ml EECD obtained an IC50against Streptococcus pneumonia and Staphylococcus aureus respectively. Also, at 2270.68 μg/ml EECD leaves eliminated 100 % S. typhi to achieve 100 % inhibiting concentration. C. dolichopentalum makes a promising drug with bactericidal effect especially against Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhi.

A steam distillation technique was employed to obtain oil from the leaf of P. alliacea. The oil obtained was subjected to GC/MS analysis to determine the chemical components, which showed the presence of sulphur heterocyclic compounds, 1,2,3-trithiolane (3), 1,2,5 trithiepane (4) and 1,2,5,6-tetrathiocane (7) as well as benzenecarbothioic acid (8) that have not been reported previously as components in the crude extracts of Petiveria alliacea. The crude extracts showed antimicrobial activity on the following microorganisms Salmonella typhi, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Escherichia coli, Rhizopus sp., Aspergillus niger. The tests showed that the extract was most effective at limiting the growth of Salmonella typhi and the Rhizopus sp. (MIC 3.125 µg/mL and MBC value of 6.25 µg/mL). The ethanol extract using the Soxhlet technique was the most effective on Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Rhizopus sp., and Aspergillus niger (MIC 3.125 µg/mL).

Diseases caused by harmful microorganisms pose a serious threat to human health. Safe and environment-friendly disinfectants are, therefore, essential in preventing and controlling such pathogens. This study aimed to investigate the antimicrobial activity and mechanism of a novel hydrogen peroxide and silver (H 2 O 2 -Ag + ) complex (HSC) in combatting Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213, Escherichia coli O157:H7 NCTC 12900 and Salmonella typhimurium SL 1344. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) values against S. aureus were found to be 0.014 % H 2 O 2 -3.125 mg/L Ag + , while 0.028 % H 2 O 2 -6.25 mg/L Ag + for both E. coli and S. typhimurium . Results of the growth curve assay and time-kill trial suggest that the HSC could inhibit the growth of the tested bacteria, as 99.9 % of viable cells were killed following treatment at the 1 MIC for 3 h. Compared with Oxytech D10 disinfectant (0.25 % H 2 O 2 -5 mg/L Ag + ), the HSC exhibited better antibacterial efficacy at a lower concentration (0.045 % H 2 O 2 -10 mg/L Ag + ). The mechanism of antibacterial action of HSC was found including the disruption of the bacterial cell membrane, followed by entry into the bacteria cell to reduce intracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) concentration, and inhibit the activity of antioxidases, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT). The enhanced bactericidal effect of hydrogen peroxide combined with silver indicates a potential for its application in environmental disinfection, particularly in the food industry.

Eye Pain

Mekai leaves (Pycnarrhena cauliflora Diels.) (P. cauliflora). Are known to contain flavonoid compounds, tannins and phenolics that act as antibacterial agents and are used in the treatment of eye pain. Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is one of the examples of bacterial diseases of eye pain and also a major cause of many infections in communities and health facilities with cases of resistance to various antimicrobial agents. The purpose of this study was to prove the antibacterial activity of mekai leaves ethanol extract against S. aureus bacteria. This research is an experimental research. The stages of this research began by extracting mekai leaves using maceration method with 96% ethanol solvent. Antibacterial activity was tested by the disc method (Kirby-Bauer) using ethanol extract concentrations of mekai leaves (EPC) 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, and 80%, positive control using 25 μg amoxicillin and negative control using DMSO 10%. The measurement results of inhibition zones of mekai leaf ethanol extract 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70% and 80% respectively were 8.32 mm, 8.32 mm, 8.32 mm, 8.67 mm, 9.00 mm, 8.67 mm, and 8.33 mm. While the positive control measurement of 25 μg amoxicillin against S. aureus is 28.67 mm and the measurement of 10% negative DMSO control does not produce inhibitory zones, so it can be concluded that the ethanol extract of mekai leaves has antibacterial activity, but the area of ​​inhibition zone produced is smaller than amoxicillin 25 µg. The results of statistical tests using Mann Whitney between negative controls with all EPC concentrations obtained significant differences with p values ​​<0.05, it can be concluded that there is antibacterial activity produced at all EPC concentrations.

Cow’s milk containing pathogenic bacteria is an important threat to the consumers. The objectives of the present study were to identify the bacterial agents of public health importance in milk samples (n=35) of different locations and to determine their sensitivity to different antibiotics. The milk samples were collected and transported aseptically and subsequently allowed for culture in bacteriological media, Gram’s staining and biochemical tests for the identification of bacterial species. The bacteria identified were Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhi, and their prevalence, in case of vendor milk specimens (n=28), were 96.43%, 53.57% and 35.71% respectively, and of brand milk specimens (n=7), were 42.86 %, 28.57% and 0%, respectively. This suggests that cautionary measures should be taken for quality milk production and consumption. The antibiotic sensitivity test was done by disc diffusion method and the average inhibition zones, in case of Staphylococcus aureus, were 32 mm for oxytetracycline, 26 mm for amoxicillin, 35 mm for ciprofloxacin, 27 mm for cefotaxime, 30 mm for ceftriaxone, 30 mm for azithromycin, and 26 mm for erythromycin; in case of Escherichia coli, were 5 mm for oxytetracycline, 9 mm for amoxicillin, 22 mm for ciprofloxacin, 30 mm for cefotaxime, 31 mm for ceftriaxone, 15 mm for azithromycin, and 0 mm for erythromycin; in case of Salmonella typhi., were 25 mm for oxytetracycline, 24 mm for amoxicillin, 38 mm for ciprofloxacin, 31 mm for cefotaxime, 34 mm for ceftriaxone, 24 mm for azithromycin, and 0 mm for erythromycin. Therefore, ciprofloxacin and ceftriaxone may be the antibiotics of first choice, and cefotaxime and azithromycin may be the second choice among the test antibiotics for the treatment of illness caused by these bacteria.Asian J.
