Honey is used as food and home remedy in of India and other countries. Scientific studies have been carried out to support these properties of honey in this investigation, incision wounds of rats that were infected with three bacterial strains viz. Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, have been treated with honey and evaluated for its effect on days 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 post-operatively with the help of smears and biopsies collected from lesions. Cytological and histopathological investigations of infected wounds conformed significant healing property of honey in and reduction in size.

Tibouchina granulosa is a species that blooms annually in several regions of Brazil. This species is still little explored in terms of phytocompounds in all organs of this plant, especially the floral organ. Flowers of T. granulosa were collected in the municipality of Rio Verde, Goiás, Brazil, in 2021. The hydroethanolic floral extract was prepared by maceration and qualitative phytochemical (colorimetric reactions and salt formation) and antibacterial analyzes performed and the results expressed in millimeters of inhibition at different concentrations in mg mL-1. Several phytochemical classes were observed with positive results, especially for alkaloids, phenolics, oxylates, saponins, carbohydrates and tannins. As for the bacterial assay, potential antibacterial activity was observed for all bacterial strains tested, except for Salmonella serovar Thyphymurium and serovar Enteritidis. Expressive inhibitions were observed for Enterococcus faecalis > Pseudomonas aeruginosa > Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli at the highest concentrations between 100-50 mg mL-1. The floral extract of Tibouchina granulosa showed phytotherapeutic potential with the presence of several phytochemical groups and expressive antibacterial activity.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial and modulatory activities of ethanolic extract of Calotropis procera (Aiton) W.T. Aiton against resistant species. By microdilution method, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the extract and modulation of the subinhibitory concentration MIC/8 to norfloxacine, gentamicin and imipenem against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. There was obtained 512 μg/mL to Pseudomonas aeruginosa. To Staphylococcus aureus, modulation showed synergism to norfloxacin and gentamicin, with imipenem against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and gentamicin against Escherichia coli. Based on these results, more studies are needed to test the antibacterial activity of the extract. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la actividad antibacteriana y moduladora del extracto etanólico de Calotropis procera (Aiton) W.T. Aiton contra cepas multirresistentes de bacterias. Por el método de microdilución, fueron definidas la concentración inhibidora mínima (MIC) del extracto y la modulación con la concentración inhibidora CIM / 8 del extracto con norfloxacina, gentamicina e imipenem contra Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli y Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Se obtuvo 512 μg/mL para Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Se descubrió sinergismo en el caso de Staphylococcus aureus, en la modulación con norfloxacina y gentamicina, mientras que con imipenem frente a Pseudomonas aeruginosa y con gentamicina para Escherichia coli.

A series of some new pyrazole-substituted 7H-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazines was synthesized in this study. The structures of target substances were confirmed by using 1H and 13С NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and elemental analysis. The synthesized compounds have been evaluated for antimicrobial activity against five bacterial strains (Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus) and two fungal strains (Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans). The antimicrobial screening studies of synthesized substances established that 2 of 12 compounds show pronounced antibacterial activity against the strain Staphylococcus aureus.

Abstract. Background: This is the first report demonstrating the antibiotic-modifying activity of cholecalciferol. Aim: In this study, cholecalciferol was evaluated against multiresistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli. Methods: The antibacterial and modulatory effects of cholecalciferol, ergosterol, and cholesterol (8–512 μg/mL) were evaluated by microdilution assay against multiresistant bacterial strains. Results: Cholecalciferol, when combined with aminoglycosides, was more effective against P. aeruginosa, reducing the concentration of amikacin and gentamicin necessary to inhibit bacterial growth from 156.25 to 39.06 μg/mL and from 39.06 to 9.76 μg/mL, respectively. It is possible that cholecalciferol, due to its lipid-soluble nature, had a lipophilic interaction with the cell membrane, enhancing antibiotic uptake. Cholesterol and ergosterol were used to see if the mechanism of action of cholecalciferol was similar to that of these lipid compounds. Ergosterol and cholesterol increased aminoglycoside activity, where the effect was greater with higher subinhibitory concentration of sterol. Conclusions: There is no reported study on the use of cholesterol and ergosterol as modulators of antibiotics or any other drug, making this the first study in this area highlighting the interaction between cholesterol, ergosterol, and cholecalciferol with regard to modifying aminoglycoside activity.

Background. Both 1,2,3- and 1,2,4-triazoles are nowadays incorporated in numerous antibacterial pharmaceutical formulations.Aim. Our study aimed to prepare three substituted 1,2,4-triazoles and to evaluate their antibacterial properties.Materials and Methods. One disubstituted and two trisubstituted 1,2,4-triazoles were prepared and characterised by physical and spectroscopic properties (melting point, FTIR, NMR, and GC-MS). The antibacterial properties were studied against three bacterial strains:Staphylococcus aureus(ATCC 25923),Escherichia coli(ATCC 25922), andPseudomonas aeruginosa(ATCC 27853), by the agar disk diffusion method and the dilution method with MIC (minimal inhibitory concentration) determination.Results. The spectroscopic characterization of compounds and the working protocol for the synthesis of the triazolic derivatives are described. The compounds were obtained with 15–43% yields and with high purities, confirmed by the NMR analysis. The evaluation of biological activities showed that the compounds act as antibacterial agents againstStaphylococcus aureus(ATCC 25923), while being inactive againstEscherichia coli(ATCC 25922) andPseudomonas aeruginosa(ATCC 27853).Conclusions. Our results indicate that compounds containing 1,2,4-triazolic moiety have great potential in developing a wide variety of new antibacterial formulations.
