Background: Commercially available conventional growth medium for the culture of microbes are expensive, hence the need for alternative cheaper sources. Poultry waste, in the form of feather and blood, are of value in biotechnology because of their high protein content. Hence the primary aim of this study was to produce a cheaper peptone alternative from chicken feather protein hydrolysate (CFPH) and blood meal (BM). Methods: We monitored the growth of selected bacteria and fungi in different concentrations of medium produced from varying combination of peptone, CFPH and BM in order to determine the combination that produced maximum growth. Five different media, namely 100% peptone (control), 100% BM, 40% peptone + 60% CFPH, 40% BM + 60% CFPH and 20% peptone + 20% BM + 60% CFPH were prepared and used for the study. The different media were inoculated with 1 ml of each test organism (Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus mirabilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Candida carpophila, Candida tropicalis and Pichia kundriavzevii) and their growth monitored for 10 h. Results: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus mirabilis and Staphylococcus aureus grew best in the 100% peptone, Klebsiella pneumoniae grew best in 100 BM. The fungi species were observed to grow best in 100% peptone. The 60% CFPH + 40% peptone combination (CFPH obtained with precipitate of TCA, HCl, and HNO3 gave the best growth of E. coli.  The 60% CFPH + 40% peptone combination (CFPH obtained with precipitate of TCA) also gave the best growth of C. tropicalis and Klebsiella pneumoniae respectively. Conclusions: Overall, the 60% CFPH + 40% peptone combination showed the most potential as an alternative to peptone, especially for E. coli.

Σκοπός της μελέτης ήταν η αξιολόγηση των πληροφοριών από την καλλιέργεια με βαμβακοφόρο στυλεό και την ποσοτική ιστική καλλιέργεια σε ασθενείς με νευροπαθητικό ή νευροϊσχαιμικό έλκος διαβητικού ποδιού και κλινική εικόνα λοίμωξης αυτού. Συμπεριελήφθησαν 113 ασθενείς, οι οποίοι χωρίστηκαν στην ομάδα Α (63 ασθενείς με νευροπαθητικό έλκος) και στην ομάδα Β (50 ασθενείς με νευροϊσχαιμικό έλκος). Η διάκριση του έλκους έγινε με βάση τα κλινικά χαρακτηριστικά αυτού και την κλινική εξέταση για τη διαπίστωση διαβητικής περιφερικής νευροπάθειας και περιφερικής αρτηριακής νόσου. Οι ασθενείς της ομάδας Β παρουσίαζαν σημαντικά μεγαλύτερη ηλικία και διάρκεια ΣΔ, όπως επίσης και σημαντικά βαρύτερη κλινική εικόνα περιφερικής νευροπάθειας και κλινική εικόνα λοίμωξης αλλά σημαντικά βραχύτερη διάρκεια έλκους ποδιού. Και στις δύο ομάδες, η καλλιέργεια με βαμβακοφόρο στυλεό για την ταυτοποίηση του υπεύθυνου παθογόνου παρουσίαζε υψηλή ευαισθησία (περίπου 90%) αλλά εξαιρετικά χαμηλή ειδικότητα (11-16%). Χάρη στην υψηλή ευαισθησία και τη χαμηλή τιμή λόγου αρνητικής πιθανοφάνειας (-LR), η καλλιέργεια με βαμβακοφόρο στυλεό αναδείχθηκε χρήσιμη για τον αποκλεισμό ενός μικροοργανισμού ως υπεύθυνου παθογόνου της λοίμωξης. Σε κάθε ομάδα, τα συχνότερα παθογόνα αποτέλεσαν ο Staphylococcus aureus και η Pseudomonas aeruginosa, ακολουθούμενα από την Klebsiella pneumonia, το Staphylococcus epidermidis και τον Proteus mirabilis, ενώ τα αναερόβια ήταν εξαιρετικά σπάνια. Επίσης σε κάθε ομάδα, ο αριθμός των απομονωθέντων ήταν σημαντικά υψηλότερος στο βαμβακοφόρο στυλεό σε σύγκριση με την ιστική καλλιέργεια. Αντίθετα δεν διαπιστώθηκε διαφορά μεταξύ των δύο ομάδων ως προς το μικροβιακό φορτίο (στην ποσοτική ιστική καλλιέργεια) αλλά ούτε και ως προς τον αριθμό των απομονωθέντων στελεχών σε οποιαδήποτε μέθοδο καλλιέργειας. Σε κάποιους ασθενείς απομονώθηκαν και λιγότερο συνήθη παθογόνα: η προηγούμενη λήψη αντιβιοτικών, οι συχνές επισκέψεις σε νοσοκομεία και η μακρά διάρκεια του έλκους (> 4 μήνες) αποτελούσαν τους κύριους παράγοντες κινδύνου για αυτά. Τέλος, η αντοχή των αντιβιοτικών στα παθογόνα γενικά δεν ήταν υψηλή. Η πιπερακιλλίνη-ταζομπακτάμη αποτέλεσε το αντιβιοτικό με τη χαμηλότερη αντοχή στην Ψευδομονάδα αλλά και γενικότερα στα Gram-αρνητικά παθογόνα. Πολύ χαμηλή αντοχή στα Gram-αρνητικά παθογόνα παρουσίασαν επίσης η κεφταζιδίμη, η σιπροφλοξασίνη και οι καρβαπενέμες. Στους Gram- θετικούς κόκκους διαπιστώθηκε υψηλή αντοχή της κλινδαμυκίνης και της ερυθρομυκίνης. Στους MRSA, MSSA και στους εντεροκόκκους δεν διαπιστώθηκε αντοχή στα αντισταφυλοκοκκικά (βανκομυκίνη, τεϊκοπλανίνη, λινεζολίδη και τιγεκυκλίνη). Στους MSSA διαπιστώθηκε επίσης πολύ καλή δραστικότητα της ριφαμπικίνης και της κοτριμοξαζόλης.

A resistência microbiana tem se mostrado um problema de proporções mundiais, causando estado de morbidade e mortalidade em diversos pacientes. Em vista disso, tem crescido a busca por métodos alternativos naturais de profilaxia. A investigação clínica sugere que o Extrato de Cranberry está entre as melhores propostas de prevenção natural. O Cranberry (Vaccinium macrocarpon) é um fruto que tem crescido comercialmente pelo sabor e propriedades benéficas à saúde. Dentre as formas comercializadas estão: o suco, o chá e as cápsulas contendo o extrato seco. A ação desta planta está relacionada ao tratamento de doenças do trato urinário, por possuir substâncias que inibem a adesão bacteriana ao epitélio do trato urinário, dificultando sua proliferação e reprodução. Dentre todas as infecções relacionadas à assistência a saúde, a Infecção do Trato Urinário é a mais frequentemente associada a procedimentos invasivos. Se não for tratada, pode resultar em complicações como pielonefrite aguda, bacteremia e pionefrose. Portanto, cranberry pode ser uma nova alternativa para o combate das infecções uroepiteliais, por ser um produto natural de preço acessível, e com formas de comercialização diversificada, ao contrário dos antimicrobianos convencionais, que por sua vez são caros e podem acabar causando resistência nos micro-organismos. Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar in vitro a atividade antimicrobiana do extrato de Cranberry, adquirido em farmácia de manipulação, sobre 8 micro-organismos isolados de infecções urinárias. As cepas utilizadas, adquiridas da coleção da FIOCRUZ, foram: Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus mirabilis, Serratia marscecens, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis e Enterococcus faecium. No estudo, foram utilizados o caldo Mueller Hinton (MH), Extrato de Cranberry e as bactérias patogênicas. O ensaio foi realizado em triplicata, com o uso de um controle de crescimento dos micro-organismos e o experimento para avaliação do crescimento bacteriano na presença do extrato. A turbidez foi medida com o auxílio de um espectrofotômetro, no comprimento de onda de 600 nm, antes e após 24 horas de incubação à 37 ºC. O procedimento forneceu a Densidade Ótica, do qual possibilitou a identificação da inibição microbiana. Para análise estatística foi utilizado o Teste t de Student. O Extrato de Cranberry apresentou atividade antimicrobiana sobre as bactérias Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Serratia marscecens e Enterococcus faecalis (p < 0,05), confirmando seu efeito benéfico em infecções urinárias. No entanto, não teve efeito inibitório significativo sobre Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus mirabilis e Enterococcus faecium (p > 0,05).

Aim: This work was carried out in order to reduce the isopropanol contain of a World Health Organization (WHO) basic alcohol based hand rub (ABHR) formulation by substituting part of it with ethanol and essential oils. Study Design: A quasi-experimental design was used, based on WHO basic formulation modification, antimicrobial assessment followed by a panel test and challenge test of the best formulation. Place and Duration of the Study: The study was carried out in different laboratory of the University of Yaoundé 1 during March 2017 to July 2018. Methodology: This study was performed by producing different formulations nested from the WHO basic formulation and testing their antimicrobial capacity on selected strains based on the microbial percentage reduction. Following this, the best formulation was compared to two commercial products trough a panel test and later challenged with selected organism (Staphylococcus aureus SR196, Salmonella Typhi 15SA, Escherichia coli ATTC25922 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA01) inoculated in the product after different storage periods for one year and the antimicrobial stability assessed on the same strain for the same length of conservation. Results: The partial substitution of isopropanol with ethanol and Piper nigrum and Syzygium aromaticum essential oils proved to possess more antimicrobial properties than the original WHO formulation. The best formulation caused a 6 Log cells/ml reduction of the initial population compared to the 4 Log cells/ml of the WHO formulation. The product also proved to maintain its activity for one year and to be able to deactivate possible contaminations by Salmonella Typhi 15SA, Staphylococcus aureus NCTC10652, Escherichia coli ATCC25922, Pseudomonas aeruginosa PA01. Conclusion: The present work is a contribution to the improvement of ABHRs and could permit the reduction of hand hygiene associated infections in industries and health care facilities.
