Earthworms are the first annulated coelomate organism with haemoglobin in the plasma as carrier of oxygen and carbon dioxide. They have the antimicrobial activity against the disease causing micro organisms. In the present study antibacterial activity of earthworm coelomic fluid Lampito mauritii were confinedagainst disease causing micro organisms through the inhibition zone formation by well diffusion method as well as disc diffusion method.

A series 1,2,4-triazole piperine analogues (TP1-TP6) were designed and synthesized. The structures were confirmed using 1H NMR and 13C NMR. Antibacterial study was done using Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus) and Gram-negative micro-organisms (E. coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) by disc diffusion method. Compound containing chloro substitution (TP6) showed the highest effect, while compound TP1, TP3, TP4, TP5 showed the moderate activity.

The essential oil of the aerial parts of Anvillea radiata Coss. & Dur. was examined by GC-MS. Twenty-nine constituents were identified, representing 88.8% of the total. 6-Oxocyclonerolidol (66.6%) and 6-hydroxycyclonerolidol (11.4%) were found to be the major components. The disc diffusion method, used for antimicrobial activity testing, showed that the essential oil had a significant antibacterial activity against all tested microorganisms.

Ketapang (Terminalia catappa L.) is traditionally used by the community to treat infections of the skin caused by bacteria or fungi. In this study, T. catappa leaves extract was added to the liquid soap formula as an antibacterial. The purpose of this study was to determine the secondary metabolite compounds contained in T. catappa leaves extract, physical evaluation of the preparation, and antibacterial activity of liquid soap. Liquid soap formula is made with various concentrations of T. catappa leaves extract F0 (0%), F1 (1%), F2 (2%), and F3 (3%). The resulting soap was evaluated for organoleptic, pH, high foam, homogeneity, irritation, and its activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, and Escherichia coli using the disc diffusion method. The results showed that the T. catappa leaves extract contained flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and triterpenoids. The liquid soap formula F0 is clear, while F1, F2, and F3 have the characteristics of brown-dark brown, homogeneous, pH between 4.6-5.2, foam stability between 67-72%, which is not significantly different and stable after five minutes of testing, and it does not irritate the skin. Terminalia catappa leaves extracts liquid soap has antibacterial activity at a concentration of 1%, 2%, and 3%, with the largest inhibition zone diameter produced by S. aureus.

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) could be isolated from various fermented food products. One potential source of LAB is traditional fermented food. The aim of the study was to isolate and investigate antimicrobial activity of LAB isolated from traditional Batak food, “naniura”. The LAB isolates were characterized by Gram staining, fermentation type and catalase test. The investigation of antimicrobial activity of LAB against pathogenic bacteria were conducted using disc diffusion method. The results showed that 6 isolates of BAL were successfully isolated namely BN1, BN2, BN3, BN4, BN5 and BN6 had characteristics of Gram positive, rod shaped and catalase negative. All selected isolate have heterofermentation type. Four isolates (BN1, BN2, BN5 and BN6) were able to inhibit S. aureus, E. coli and S. typhi with inhibition zone diameters ranging from 6,9 to 12,3 cm. Based on the result, it was concluded that LAB isolated from naniura has potential as a source of probiotics.

A mononuclear copper(II) complex of 1-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)-N-(tetrahydrofuran-2- ylmethyl)methanamine) was synthesized and characterized by various physicochemical techniques like cyclic voltammetry and elemental analysis, ESI-MS, UV–Visible, Infra red and EPR spectroscopy. The antibacterial activities of the ligand and its complex were screened by disc diffusion method and found that the metal complexes have higher antimicrobial activity than the free ligand.

Essential oils are aromatic and volatile substances extracted from plants and characterized by antimicrobial activity. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the antibacterial activity (agar disc-diffusion method) of seven different bergamot essential oils (BEOs) on eight <em>Listeria monocytogenes</em> strains. Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of most efficient BEOs was estimated. Extremely variable results for agar disc-diffusion method for <em>L. monocytogenes</em> strains were reported. One of the tested microorganisms resulted insensible to all the BEOs; 3 strains showed an inhibition from weak to null and the remaining 4 a variable susceptibility. Among the BEOs tested, one showed a strong activity against four pathogenic strains. Four BEOs revealed weak, moderate or null activity in all the 7 sensitive strains, while for two oils only a weak or no activity was reported. MIC values were 0.625 μL/mL for the most efficient BEO, 2.5 and 5 μL/mL for the other samples that showed moderate inhibition. Experiment results are significantly related to the strains tested (P&lt;0.01), rather than the BEO employed (P&gt;0.01). In conclusion, we can consider BEO as a natural technological hurdle for <em>Listeria monocytogenes</em> in combination with other preservation strategies. Finally, this study underlines the necessity to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of EOs on a significant strains number of the same bacteria.

Introduction: Andrographis paniculata, Tinospora crispa and Centella asiatica are known to have various pharmacological functions. This research was carried out to investigate the antibacterial activities of protein extracts from A. paniculata, T. crispa and C. asiatica. Methods: Total soluble proteins from these herbs were extracted using a modified TCA/acetone method. The protein extracts were then quantified using the Bradford assay and separated using SDS-PAGE. The antibacterial activities were determined by disc diffusion method. Results: T. crispa had a significantly higher amount of proteins (83.86 ± 0.4 µg/µl) compared to A. paniculata (81.57 ± 0.4 µg/µl) and C. asiatica (78.93 ± 0.5 µg/µl). The proteins separated by SDS-PAGE were ranged from 30kDa to 260kDa, 25kDa to 110kDa and 25kDa to 160kDa for A. paniculata, T. crispa and C. Asiatic, respectively. The high abundance proteins were observed in A. paniculata and T. crispa but not in C. asitica. Protein extracts from C. asiatica have demonstrated antibacterial activity against all tested bacteria with the diameter of inhibition zone of 11.0 ± 0.5 mm, 12.3 ± 0.6 mm, 10.7 ± 0.7 mm and 20.0 ± 0.8 mm against B. cereus, S. aureus, K. pneumonia and S. typhimurium respectively. Meanwhile, protein extracts of A. paniculata showed a positive antibacterial activity only against B.cereus (13.7 ± 0.4 mm), S. aureus (7.0 ± 0.8 mm) and S. typhimurium (11.5 ± 0.3 mm). Protein extracts from T. crispa only showed a positive antibacterial activity against B. cereus (9.7 ± 0.5 mm). Conclusions: There is a constant need in the discovery of new antibiotics for the treatment of infectious diseases.
