Ethanolic Extracts

The antibacterial activities of the ethanolic extracts of seed, leaf and stem bark of Vitellaria paradoxa were investigated. The extracts were tested against three clinical bacterial pathogens, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae using the agar diffusion and the broth dilution techniques. Ethanolic extracts of the plant parts showed activity against all the bacterial pathogens tested. At the highest extract concentration (200 mg/ml), the leaf extract exhibited the highest antimicrobial activity, while no activity was detected at the lowest concentration (3.13 mg/ml) against the tested isolates. Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus were more susceptible to all extracts of V. paradoxa, while Klebsiella pneumoniae showed the least sensitivity. The efficacy of ethanolic extracts of Vitellaria paradoxa was compared to a commercial antibiotic streptomycin. There were differences in the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of all the Vitellaria paradoxa ethanolic extracts with respect to the type of organism. All extracts exhibited bacteriostatic effects against the tested organisms at the experimented concentrations. Qualitative phytochemical screening of the extracts revealed the presence of saponins, tannins and alkaloids as the active principles of Vitellaria paradoxa's antimicrobial activity. V. paradoxa could be used as a potential source of antibiotic substance for a drug development.

Diseases are the worst enemy to man currently. This study was aimed at isolating pathogenic bacteria from water obtained from shallow wells in Dundori Kenya. Also, the study aimed at testing the isolates for sensitivity to antibiotic metabolites previously extracted from Actinomycetes isolates from soils of Egerton University. Water samples were collected from shallow wells randomly selected from Dundori and abbreviated as A, B, C, D, and E. Bacterial pathogens were isolated from the water samples using the membrane filtration technique. The isolates were characterized using biochemical means. Antimicrobial sensitivity testing was carried out using Kirby Bauer disk diffusion method. Data analysis was carried out using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Comparison of means was carried out using one way ANOVA. Shallow wells B, D and E were highly contaminated with pathogenic bacteria. Biochemical characterization of the isolates indicated that the most common isolates were Vibrio cholera, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus sp, Escherichia coli, and Staphylococcus aureus. There was no significant difference between the zones of inhibition produced by the antibiotic metabolites (F=2.149 P=1340) when tested against the test isolates. There were no significant differences between the MIC's of the antibiotic metabolites on the bacterial pathogens (F=2.01 P=0.15). Water from some shallow wells in Dundori is highly contaminated with Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Proteus sp., Vibrio cholerae and Staphylococcus aureus. The pathogens can effectively be controlled using antibiotics from the Actinomycetes. There is a need to sensitize the residents of the study area on ways of preventing seepage of contaminants into the shallow wells.

The investigation into soil bacteria has been widely studied and becoming increasingly appreciated as an exceptional reservoir of unique naturally occurring biologically active metabolites with pharmaceutical applications. This article aimed to isolate, identify and biochemically characterize antibiotic-producing bacteria from anthill soils in the permanent site of Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University, Lapai (IBBUL), Niger State, Nigeria. The sum of ten samples were collected from five sampling sites, the sampling was done in threefold (morning, noon and evening) and analyzed adopting standard microbiological protocols. The obtained result revealed that the total bacteria count in the morning ranges from 2.1×107 cfu/mL to 1.4×106 cfu/mL, noon count ranges from 3.1×107 to 2.6×106 cfu/mL while evening count was in the range of 2.1×107 cfu/mL to 1.7×106 cfu/mL. A total number of five (5) bacteria were isolated as Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus lentus and Micrococcus reseus. The total prevalence of the bacterial isolates in the morning, noon and evening were calculated as B. subtilis (109.08%), S. epidermidis (36.36%), M. reseus (36.36%), B. lentus (63.63%), and S. aureus (54.54%) respectively. These isolates were further assayed against Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi, Klebsiella sp. and Staphylococcus aureus. The antibacterial outcome showed that two (2) (40%) anthill isolates exhibited antibacterial activity against three (3) tested bacteria (Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi and Staphylococcus aureus). This research study has showcased that the production of inhibitory substances are common among some of the bacterial strains isolated from anthills.

Abstract Background Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major and growing global public health problem. The Cambodia Ministry of Health established a pilot laboratory-based AMR surveillance system for blood specimens in 2017. The objective of this study is to characterize AMR among pathogenic isolates from blood samples. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed using one year of data from a pilot AMR Surveillance system in Cambodia. Four blood culture isolate pathogens were included: Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Salmonella Typhi /Salmonella Paratyphi A and Staphylococcus aureus. Blood culture isolates that were referred from eleven sentinel sites were analyzed at the National Public Health Laboratory for identification. Antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) was done using disk diffusion, minimum inhibitory concentration method following Clinical Laboratory Standard Institute (CLSI) guidelines. Results Among 214 pathogenic isolates from blood samples, E.coli was the most common (56.1%), followed by Salmonella Typhi/Salmonella Paratyphi A (18.7%), Staphylococcus aureus (13.5%), and Klebsiella pneumoniae (11.7%). Methicillin Resistance Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was detected in half of the isolates. E.coli was resistant to ampicillin (94.4%), trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (84.5%), and ceftriaxone (79.2%). Salmonella Typhi was resistant to ampicillin (73.3%) and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (60.0%) and Salmonella Paratyphi A were resistant to fluoroquinolones (91.7%). For last resort antibiotics, E.coli was resistant to carbapenem groups (3.2% for imipenem, 4.9% for meropenem, and 5.0% for ertapenem). Klebsiella pneumoniae was not resistant to any groups. Conclusion E.coli was found at high rates in blood samples and was resistant to common antibiotics used in Cambodia. These pilot data show the importance of establishing a national AMR surveillance system in Cambodia to monitor AMR trends following GLASS guidelines. Disclosures All Authors: No reported disclosures
