Bioenhancers are drug facilitator which do not show the typical drug activity but in combination to enhance the activity of other molecule in several way including increase the bioavailability of drug across the membrane, potentiating the drug molecules by conformational interaction, acting as receptor for drug molecules and making target cell more receptive to drugs and promote and increase the bioactivity or bioavailability or the uptake of drugs in combination therapy. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the antibacterial and activity of combination in Azadirachta indica extract with cow urine distillate and pepper extract against common pathogenic bacteria, a causative agent of watery diarrhea. It has been found that Indian indigenous cow urine and its distillate also possess bioenhancing ability. Bioenhancing role of cow urine distillate (CUD) and pepper extract was investigated on antibacterial activity of ethanol extract of Azadirachta indica. Antibacterial activity of ethanol extract neem alone and in combination with CUD and pepper extract were determined the ATCC strains against Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and E-coli by cup plate diffusion method. Ethanol extract of neem has showed more effect on P. aeruginosa, E-coli than S. aureus and K. pneumonia with combination of CUD and pepper extract. CUD and pepper did not show any inhibition of test bacteria in low concentration. The antibacterial effect of combination of extract and CUD was higher than the inhibition caused by extract alone and is suggestive of the bioenhancing role of cow urine distillate and pepper. Moreover, inhibition of test bacteria was observed with less concentration of extract on combining with CUD

This study aims to (1) determine proper solvent extract of B. hirtella leaf on antibacterial activity of S. aureus and E. coli and on antifungal activity of C. albicans (2) determine the lowest concentration of leaf extract of B. hirtella that indicate the formation of inhibition zone (3) know the content of bioactive compounds contained in each leaf extract of B. hirtella. The method used in this study is experimental with completely randomized design (CRD). The treatments were type of solvents (n-hexane, ethyl acetate, ethanol and water) and a serie of the ethyl acetate extract concentration of 500 ppm, 450 ppm, 400 ppm, 350 ppm, 300 ppm and 250 ppm against S. aureus, E. coli and C. albicans. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (Anova) and the significant differences between the treatments were analyzed by Duncan test at 95% confidence level. The result showed that each solvent extracts affect microbes growth with a highly significant difference p <0.05. Solvent extracts that have the best inhibitory zone is ethyl acetate against S. aureus with an average diameter of inhibitory zone 13.75 ± 1.26 mm. Increasing concentrations of ethyl acetate extract of 250 ppm to 500 ppm increase inhibition zone against microbes. The lowest concentration that show inhibition zone was 300 ppm. The formation inhibition of zone on microbes growth happened due to their compounds in the extract. Extract of n-hexane contains stigmasterol, ethyl acetate contains neophytadiene, while the ethanol extract contains ethyl palmitate

Aim: To study the bactericidal activity of crude ethanolic extract and fractionations obtained from Sargassum aquifolium (Turner) C. Agardh (brown algae) towards Gram-positive bacteria and Gram-negative biofilm-forming human pathogenic bacteria. Background: The increasing emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the hospital and community settings lead to the discovery of alternative strategies. Marine organisms are considered as one of the potential sources of the diverse bioactive molecules against several biological activities. Hence, the algae especially the marine brown algae were selected to evaluate its antibacterial activities towards biofilm-forming human pathogenic bacteria. Objective: To restrain the drug-resistant ability of pathogenic bacteria, we have checked the extract of Sargassum aquifolium (Turner) C. Agardh (Phyophyceae) for the concerned bioactive compounds. Methods: Antibacterial activity towards both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria was evaluated using disk diffusion and broth microdilution assays. Furthermore, the active compound present in the extracts were also identified using gaschromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS). Results: A total of 21 bioactive compounds were identified using GC-MS analysis with different chemical natures. The crude ethanolic extraction was fractionated sequentially according to the eluotropic series from less to extreme polar. The highest zone of inhibition was recorded for ethanolic extract on Listeria monocytogenes with a value of 38.00±0.17 mm and the lowest was 10.67±0.06 mm for ethyl acetate fraction on Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Ethyl acetate fractionate showed a higher effectivity than other fractionations. 256 µg/mL MIC value was recorded against Staphylococcus aureus and L. monocytogenes and 512 µg/mL against Escherichia coli and P. aeruginosa. Its ethanolic extract also showed synergism with oxytetracycline on S. aureus, L. monocytogenes, and E. coli. Furthermore, the same extracts also showed synergism with tetracycline on E. coli and with erythromycin on P. aeruginosa. Conclusion: The present study reports the antibacterial activity of the S. aquifolium (Turner) C. Agardh extracts against human pathogenic bacteria. Furthermore, it also predicts the synergistic activity of selected antibiotic combinations against both selected Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria.

Antibacterial activity test and chemical component analysis of hexane, ethyl acetate and ethanol extract of Brotowali stem from Manokwari Regency against B. subtillis and E. coli have been carried out. The extraction of the T. crispa stems was carried out by the maceration method in stages based on the polarity of the solvent. Chemical component analysis was performed using GC-MS and phytochemical tests. Based on the identification of chemical compounds by phytochemical screening, it shows the presence of flavonoids in the hexane extract, while in the ethyl acetate and ethanol extracts there are alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, and tannins. The results of the chemical component analysis of hexane, ethyl acetate and ethanol extracts with GC-MS showed that the hexane extract contained 55 chemical components with 11 main components, ethyl acetate extract consisted of 39 components with 8 main components and ethanol extract there were 57 components with 8 main components. The results of the antibacterial activity test using the well method showed that the hexane and ethyl acetate extracts showed better antibacterial activity than the ethanol extract against the two types of tested bacteria, namely E. coli and B. subtillis. The antibacterial activity of hexane and ethyl acetate extracts against E. coli was 11.00 and 14.00 mm, respectively and against B. subtillis were 7.00 and 7.50 mm, respectively.

Category: Diabetes Introduction/Purpose: Diabetic ulcers carry with it extensive morbidity. The microbiome of diabetic foot infections have previously been shown to be polymicrobial. We hypothesized that ulcer treatment would normalize the foot microbiome. Methods: Microbiome profiles of the fore, mid and hind diabetic foot. Diabetic foot (with ulcer) were taken pre and post treatment with a combination of surgical debridement, local and systemic antibiotics. 10 subjects were studied. Microbiome graphs and images pre and post treatment of feet are shown. Results: The microbiome profile of the diabetic foot almost completely normalized to that of normal flora. Before treatment, the foot microbiome was associated with polymicrobial pathogenic bacteria mostly away from the ulcer. The ulcer itself only contained minimal species, albeit pathogenic bacteria. The differences in profiles between the pre and post treatment were significantly different p < 0.01. Conclusion: Chicken or egg, the foot microbiome almost completely reverts to normal flora with simple ulcer debridement and local/systemic antibiotics. Our data point possibly suggest ulcers could be prevented by reducing pathogenic microbiome load (chlorhexidine washes) or microbiome transplants. We next move to controls as a proof of concept.
