Seas assets that give us a variety of characteristic items to control bacterial, contagious and viral ailment and mostly utilized for malignancy chemotherapy practically from spineless creatures, for example, bryozoans, wipes, delicate corals, coelenterates, ocean fans, ocean bunnies, molluscs and echinoderms. In the previous 30 - 40 years, marine plants and creatures have been the focal point of overall endeavours to characterize the regular results of the marine condition. Numerous marine characteristic items have been effectively exceptional to the last phases of clinical preliminaries, including dolastatin-10, a group of peptides disengaged from Indian ocean rabbit, Dollabella auricularia. Ecteinascidin-743 from mangrove tunicate Ecteinascidia turbinata, Didemnins was isolated from Caribbean tunicate Trididemnum solidum and Conopeptides from cone snails (Conus sp.), and a developing number of up-and-comers have been chosen as promising leads for expanded pre-clinical appraisals. Sea anemones possess numerous tentacles containing stinging cells or cnidocytes. The stinging cells are equipped with small organelles known as nematocysts. The two species of sea anemones namely, Heteractis magnificaandStichodactyla haddoni, were collected from Mandapam coastal waters of Ramanathapuram district, Tamilnadu, India. The Nematocyst was collected and centrifuged, and the supernatant was lyophilized and stored for further analysis. The amount of protein from Heteractis Magnifica and Stichodactyla haddoni was estimated. The crude extract has shown haemolytic activity on chicken blood and goat blood. In the antibacterial activity of the sea anemone against six bacterial strains Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhii, Salmonella paratyphii, Klebsiella pneumonia, Vibrio cholerae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Antibacterial activity of H. Magnifica and S.haddoni was measured as the radius of the zone of inhibition.

The wide spread of pathogens resistance requires the development of new antimicrobial agents capable of overcoming drug resistance. The main objective of the study is to elucidate the effect of substitutions in tris(1H-indol-3-yl)methylium derivatives on their antibacterial activity and toxicity to human cells. A series of new compounds were synthesized and tested. Their antibacterial activity in vitro was performed on 12 bacterial strains, including drug resistant strains, that were clinical isolates or collection strains. The cytotoxic effect of the compounds was determined using an test with HPF-hTERT (human postnatal fibroblasts, immortalized with hTERT) cells. The activity of the obtained compounds depended on the carbon chain length. Derivatives with C5–C6 chains were more active. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the most active compound on Gram-positive bacteria, including MRSA, was 0.5 μg/mL. Compounds with C5–C6 chains also revealed high activity against Staphylococcus epidermidis (1.0 and 0.5 μg/mL, respectively) and moderate activity against Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli (8 μg/mL) and Klebsiella pneumonia (2 and 8 μg/mL, respectively). However, they have no activity against Salmonella cholerasuis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The most active compounds revealed higher antibacterial activity on MRSA than the reference drug levofloxacin, and their ratio between antibacterial and cytotoxic activity exceeded 10 times. The data obtained provide a basis for further study of this promising group of substances.

In this study, the antibacterial activity of tannic acid/amphiphilic cationic polymer (poly{2-[(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]trimethyl-ammonium chloride}, PMADQUAT) and tannic acid mixtures was examined on the strains of Gram-positive (S. aureus) and Gram-negative (E. coli CI2, E. coli K12, Klebsiella pneumonia and P. aeruginosa) bacteria. Tannic acid exhibited the antibacterial activity against all the studied bacterial strains. The ester linkage between glucose and gallic acid is vital for the antimicrobial activity of tannic acid. Tannic acid inhibited the growth of S. aureus and E. coli K12 (1 wt%) and reduced the growth of P. aeruginosa to 23%. Mixing cationic polymers having different structures (statistical copolymer, homopolymer and diblock polymer) with tannic acid lead to an increase in antibacterial activity of tannic acid and the stability and clarity of mixtures was higher than that of a pure tannic acid solution. Tannic acid/diblock polymer and tannic acid/homopolymer mixtures (0.1 wt%) were excellent for inhibiting the growth of planktonic E. coli K12 bacteria, and a low concentration (0.0001 wt%) of tannic acid/diblock polymer reduced its growth to 19%. By contrast, the tannic acid/statistical polymer mixture (0.0001 wt%) was excellent for inhibiting the growth of Gram-positive S. aureus bacteria.

Abstract Hydroxyapatite (HA) nanoparticles with homogeneous rod morphology were successfully synthesized by the hydrothermal method. The use of cationic and anionic surfactants (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, CTAB, and sodium dodecyl sulfate, SDS) does not change the morphology, but the length/diameter ratio of HA nanorods did. The structural characterizations revealed well-crystallized samples in the hexagonal phase. The HA samples with a smaller Ca/P ratio presented larger crystalline size. The CTAB- sample present antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Streptococcus anginosus, Staphylococcus aureus, Micrococcus luteus, and Klebsiella pneumoniae suggesting that the bacteria nature and surface charge of nanoparticles affect the susceptibility.

Nanoparticles include multiple metal oxides such as yttrium, copper, nickel, zinc, iron, and silver that have antimicrobial activity. The present work evaluates the antibacterial activity of some nanoparticles (NPs)against various pathogenic bacterial strains (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumonia and Staphylococcus aureus). Antimicrobial activity of NPs was accomplished by the mean of disk diffusion assay using dilutions of (200, 100, 50, 25, and 12.5) and the MIC and MBC of each isolate is determined. NPs shows no antibacterial activity against tested bacteria. It is highly recommended using NPs as an economical alternative antibacterial agent, especially in treating ectopic infections but with high concentration since low concentration gives no result without taking the risk of developing resistant bacterial strains as with antibiotics.

The formation of biofilm (Biofouling) in different surface is the great concern in types of fields, especially in medical and health system as well as in membrane technology. The present study deals with the synthesis and characterization of Al2O3 nanopowders with antibacterial activity which can be a potentially utilized material for biocompatible implants. Nanostructure was synthesized based on sol-gel method and then, crystallite size, and microstructural and morphological characterization of nanostructure were determined by X-ray diffraction, electron-microscopic techniques - scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). According to X-ray diffraction, the value of particle size for Al2O3 nanopowders is 20.85 nm. In the following, the antibacterial activity of Al2O3 nanoparticles was assessed on three gram positive and three gram negative bacteria by radial diffusion assay and measurement of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). The toxicity of Al2O3 nanopowders on blood cells was also assessed. The results showed that this nanostructure has potent antibacterial activity against gram positive and gram negative bacteria. The synthesized Al2O3 nanopowders showed the antimicrobial activity against antibiotic resistant bacterium, Staphylococcus aureus. Significant antibacterial activity of this nanostructure was seen to have a greatest effect on Bacillus cereus with the MIC value of 9.2 μg/ml; while, among bacterial strains, Salmonellatyphimurium was investigated to be the most resistant one with the MIC of 35.6 μg/ml. Al2O3 nanopowders showed no toxicity on blood cells. according to acquired data in this study, Al2O3 nanopowders may be a good material for inhibition of biofilm formation.

The aim of this study was to investigate the chemical composition and antibacterial activity of the essential oil of Melaleuca bracteata F. Muell from India. The hydrodistilled essential oils of M. bracteata in spring, summer, rainy, autumn and winter seasons were analyzed using GC-FID and GC-MS. Altogether, 25 constituents, comprising 97.3–99.7% of the total oil were identified with methyl eugenol (87.2–89.5%), ( E)-methyl cinnamate (2.8–5.4%), methyl chavicol (0.2–0.5%), and elemicin (0.2–0.4%) as major constituents. The antibacterial efficacy of the essential oil was evaluated against nine pathogenic bacterial strains. Zone of inhibition and MIC of the essential oil ranged from 5–10 mm and 500–1000 μg/mL against the tested pathogens, respectively. Results showed that essential oil of M. bracteata from Indian origin possessed good activity against Salmonella typhimurium, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and moderate activity against Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumonia, and Streptococcus mutans. Results of the present seasonal variation study clearly indicated that M. bracteata grown in foothills of Uttarakhand, India could be classified as seasonally stable ‘methyl eugenol’ chemotype (>85.0%), hence may be considered as a novel natural resource for methyl eugenol rich essential oil for flavor, fragrance and pharmaceutical applications.
