  The present study focused on the beneficial effects of Lactococcus lactis subsp lactis CNRZ 1427 with possible use as a therapeutic agent against Sal-monella sp.; also we have proposed different therapeutic possibilities of our situation against a pathogen Salmonella sp. We have conducted two tests In Vitro and In Vivo; where it is noted that treatment in the presence of this lac-tic strain is effective since it causes a remarkable decrease of the pathogen agent. At the end, the effectiveness of this lactic strain was confirmed by testing for resistance to gastrointestinal conditions (pH, bile salts and diges-tive enzymes).

Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria. After their discovery in the early 1900s, bacteriophages were a primary cure against infectious disease for almost 25 years, before being completely overshadowed by antibiotics. With the rise of antibiotic resistance, bacteriophages are being explored again for their antibacterial activity. One of the critical apprehensions regarding bacteriophage therapy, however, is the possibility of genome evolution, development of phage resistance, and subsequent perturbations to our microbiota. Through this review, we set out to explore the principles supporting the use of bacteriophages as a therapeutic agent, discuss the human gut microbiome in relation to the utilization of phage therapy, and the co-evolutionary arms race between host bacteria and phage in the context of the human microbiota.

Seluruh plat resin dimasukkan dalam tabung C. Albicans 10 CFU/ml selama 5 menit, kemudian plat diambil dan dimasukkan dalam larutan bahan kumur standar sebagai kontrol dan larutan bahan kumur yang mengandung ekstrak kulit batang jambu mete untuk kelompok perlakuan selama 3 menit dan digetarkan. Cairan kemudian diambil sebanyak 0,1 ml dan ditanam pada piring petri dengan agar saboruraud dan diinkubasi selama 48 jam. Perhitungan koloni dilakukan menggunakan counter. Hasil penelitian: Hasil daya perlekatan pada bahan kumur standar 1912,50±14,93; pada bahan kumur dengan ekstrak 1% = 1757,50±20,16; 2% = 1335±17,08; 3% = 1220; 4% = 915±22,17 dan 5% = 670,00±38,37. Analisis varian satu jalur memperlihatkan pengaruh yang bermakna ekstrak etanolik kulit batang jambu mete terhadap daya lekat C. Albicans pada plat resin akrilik (p<0,05). Hasil LSD menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan yang bermakna antar seluruh kelompok perlakuan (p<0,05). Kesimpulan: Ekstrak etanolik kulit batang jambu mete sebagai bahan kumur berpengaruh terhadap daya perlekatan C. Albicans pada plat resin aklirik. Background: C. Albicans is a microorganism which colonized on the tooth or denture prosthesis surfaces. Mouthwashes usually contain therapeutic agent as antibacterial. The bark of Annacardium occidentale contains fenolic as antibacterial activity. The aim of this research was to determine the influence of the etanolic ectract of anacardium occidentale bark as mouthwashes on C. Albicans adherence. Method: the extract of anacardium occidentale bark was conducted in maceration method and used ethanol as solvent. Mouthwashes were made in standart composition and added annacardium occidentale bark extract 1%, 2%, 3%, 4% and 5% as antibacterial agent. As a negative control was used standart mouthwashes without extract. The research used 24 resin acrylic which made in disk shape with diameter 10 mm. This acrylic were divided in 6 group, there were 5 group treated with mouthwash that contain extract anacardium occidentale bark and 1 group treated with standart mouthwashes. All of resins plate were incubated in C. Albicans solution for 5 minute. After that resin acrylic plate were immersed in standart mouthwashes as a control and mouthwashes with anaracium occidentale bark extract and vibrate for 3 minutes. The solution then taken 0,1 ml and planted in petry dish with saboruraud agar and incubated for 48 hours. Result: Attachment of candida alvicans was: 1912,50±14,93 as control and mouthwash with extract were 1% = 1757,50±20,16; 2% = 1335±17,08; 3% = 1220; 4% = 915±22,17 and 5% = 670,00±38,37. Analyzed with one way Anova showed that the extract of annaracium occidentale bark as mouthwash influenced the cancida albicans adherence on resin acrylic surface (p<0,05). LSD analyzed showed there were significant differenced between all groups (p<0,05). Conclusion: The extract of anacardium occidentale bark extract as mouthwash were influence of the C. Albicans adherence on resin acrylic surface.

Newer antibacterial agents are needed to combat the growing bacterial infections. Triazoles are one of the leading and most sought out nucleus amongst the heterocyclic rings in the drug world. 1, 2, 3-Triazoles are synthesized by Click Chemistry of alkynes with azides. A synergistic effect is observed when the triazoles are combined with other heterocycles. They also exhibit diversified therapeutic activities like anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-diabetic, anti-tubercular, anti-inflam-matory, antihypertensive etc which makes Triazoles an interesting molecule for the researchers to work on. In the current study, we combined 1,2, 3-triazoles with thiophene ring system to get synergistic antibacterial activity. Here, 12 derivatives of 4, 5-substituted-1, 2, 3-Triazoles were subjected to in silico docking studies on Biotin ligase protein (PDB ID: 3V7R). The compounds that showed the best results were synthesized. The newly synthesized derivatives were characterized by using IR, H1 NMR and Mass spectrum. All the synthesized derivatives were evaluated for antibacterial activity against Gram-negative bacteria (E. coli and P. aerugenosa) and gram-positive bacteria (B. subtilis and S. aureus). The compounds showed moderate to good activity, which was comparable to that of the standard Streptomycin drug.
