Salah satu faktor penyebab jerawat adalah bakteri Propionibacterium acnes yang merupakan bakteri Gram positif dan anaerob yang hidup normal dalam saluran philosebaseae. Antibiotik sering digunakan untuk mengatasi jerawat dan penyakit lain yang disebabkan oleh bakteri. Padahal, selain mahal, pemakaian antibiotik terus menerus dapat memicu resistensi. Di Bali, banyak tumbuhan lokal yang bersifat antibakteri yang digunakan secara tradisional dan sudah tercatat dengan baik dalam lontar usadha Taru Premana. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui potensi antibakteri campuran ekstrak daun pegagan, daun paspasan, dan daun teh hijau sehingga dapat digunakan sebagai kandidat obat jerawat. Percobaan yang dilakukan adalah persiapan simplisia dengan pengeringan dan penepungan, ekstraksi dengan etanol, evaporasi untuk mendapatkan ekstrak kental etanol. Pengujian aktivitas antibakteri dilakukan dengan metode agar tuang dengan menggunakan bakteri uji Escherichia coli (Gram negatif) dan Micrococcus luteus (Gram positif). Didapatkan hasil bahwa paspasan dan pegagan bersifat bakteriostatik terhadap E.coli dan bakterisidal terhadap M.luteus dengan diameter daerah hambat terbesar adalah 2,5 cm. Ditemukan juga bahwa penambahan ekstrak teh hijau tidak mempengaruhi aktivitas antibakteri kedua simplisia. Disimpulkan bahwa ekstrak etanol pegagan dan paspasan berpotensi digunakan sebagai bahan obat jerawat.

Actualmente existe la necesidad de hacer frente al problema de la resistencia a los antibióticos y al uso indiscriminado de fungicidas químicos en la agricultura. El objetivo de este trabajo fue evaluar el efecto inhibitorio de extractos acuosos, metanólicos, acetónicos y hexánicos de hoja y tallo de Vitex mollis Kunth (Lamiaceae) contra diferentes bacterias (Escherichia coli, Micrococcus luteus, Salmonella enterica y Staphylococcus aureus) y especies del hongo Fusarium (F. verticillioides, F. oxysporum, F. tapsinum y F. oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici) de importancia en la salud y en la agricultura, así como determinar su composición química general. Se determinaron las concentraciones inhibitorias mínimas (CIM) de todos los extractos por la técnica de microdilución, excepto del hexánico, que no presentó inhibición en las bacterias estudiadas. S. enterica fue la bacteria que mostró mayor sensibilidad al extracto metanólico de tallo (CIM = 28 μg mL-1), le siguieron M. luteus (CIM = 32 μg mL-1), S. aureus (CIM = 75 μg mL-1) y E. coli (CIM = 80 μg mL- 1). Los extractos metanólicos y acuosos de tallo presentaron mayor porcentaje de inhibición contra los diferentes tipos de Fusarium evaluados por el método de dilución en agar. Los extractos de V. mollis inhibieron a F. verticillioides entre 62 y 91 % con 120 μg mL-1 de extracto. El orden de las especies de hongos inhibidas por los extractos fue: F. verticillioides > F. oxysporum > F. tapsinum > F. oxysporum f.sp. lycopersici. La composición química de las especies se determinó mediante pruebas para fenoles, taninos, flavonoides, triterpenos, alcaloides, cumarinas y saponinas. Ninguno de los extractos presentó alcaloides y saponinas. Los fenoles (37.1 mg EAG/g muestra seca) y flavonoides (26.8 mg EQ/g muestra seca) fueron los compuestos mayoritarios en los extractos metanólicos y acuosos. En conclusión, se requieren cantidades muy pequeñas de extracto para la inhibición de bacterias y de Fusarium; por lo tanto, V. mollis puede ser considerada una fuente de metabolitos para este fin y en la agricultura como control alternativo dentro de un manejo integrado de enfermedades.

: Iso-octenidine, an isomer of octenidine dihydrochloride, was synthesized and studied for the first time. Isooctenidine was demonstrated to be 3-fold more soluble in water in comparison to original octenidine, and both substances had remarkably similar antibacterial activity (tested on Escherichia Coli and Micrococcus luteus).

AbstractThe interaction of DNA from filarial parasite Setaria cervi with polyamines was monitored by melting temperature (Tm) profile, condensation and B to Z DNA transition and compared with DNA of Escherichia coli, Micrococcus luteus and calf thymus having different GC content. Polyamines, viz. spermine and spermidine, stabilized the secondary structure of all DNAs as indicated by increase in Tm value. UV absorption studies indicated B to Z DNA transition in the presence of polyamines. The amount of polyamines required for B to Z transition was dependent upon base composition of DNA and charge of the polyamine. Filarial DNA (AT rich) required six times higher concentration of spermine as compared to GC rich DNA for B to Z DNA transition. Spermidine was not effective in causing transition of S. cervi DNA even at Spd:DNA-P ratio of 20. The antifilarial compound suramin significantly decreased melting temperature of filarial DNA as compared to GC rich DNAs of other parasites. Suramin adversely affected condensation and B to Z DNA transition of various DNAs but prior addition of polyamines protected the DNAs from the destabilizing effect of suramin.

The essential oils of the aerial parts and fruits of Chaerophyllum aureum L., collected from two mountains in Serbia, were analyzed by GC and GC/MS. Sabinene (18.5-31.6%), p-cymene (7.9-25.4%) and limonene (1.9-10.9%) were characterized as the main constituents. The oils were tested against six bacterial strains and one strain of yeast, Candida albicans. The highest antimicrobial activity was observed against the Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, S. epidermidis and Micrococcus luteus, while of the Gram-negative strains, Escherichia coli was the most sensitive.

A novel bacteriocin, plantaricin ZJ5 (PZJ5) was yielded from Lactobacillus plantarum ZJ5, cloned, and produced in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) pLys. The PZJ5 structural gene was fused with a Trx tag, and cloned into the pET32a plasmid under the control of the inducible lac operon. Induction was performed with isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG), with subsequent overexpression of the fusion protein, followed by purification to homogeneity via His affinity chromatography. Recombinant E. coli produced greater quantities of PZJ5 than L. plantarum ZJ5, and PZJ5 in E. coli was expressed in the form of soluble material. Biologically active PZJ5 was recovered by cleaving the purified fusion protein using enterokinase. The released PZJ5 demonstrated antibacterial activity against Micrococcus luteus. In this study, an inexpensive biological method using a Trx fusion system was presented, and for the first time, bacteriocin PZJ5 was expressed and purified in E. coli.

Autolytic activity in the soluble and sediment fractions of sonicates of the spiral and the coccoid form of Campylobacter upsaliensis could not be demonstrated by native (nondenaturing) polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). Autolysins were detected, however, by using denaturing sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) - PAGE gels containing either purified Escherichia coli peptidoglycan or whole cells of Micrococcus luteus (Micrococcus lysodeikticus) as the turbid substrate, with subsequent renaturation by treatment with Triton X-100 buffer. In renaturing gels that contained Escherichia coli peptidoglycan, 14 putative autolytic bands ranging from 200 to 12 kDa were detected. In similar gels containing whole cells of M. luteus, only a single band appeared with a molecular mass of 34 kDa. This band corresponded to one of the bands present in the gels containing Escherichia coli peptidoglycan. This common autolysin was isolated by adsorbing it from Campylobacter upsaliensis soluble fractions onto M. luteus cells and then subjecting these cells to renaturing SDS-PAGE in gels containing Escherichia coli peptidoglycan. The 34-kDa autolysin differed from a single 51-kDa autolysin unique to the M. luteus cells, and when isolated from an SDS-PAGE gel, was pure when tested by isoelectric focusing. The N-terminal amino acid sequence analysis showed the first 15 amino acids of the 34-kDa autolysin to have 67% identity to a part of antigenic protein PEB4 of Campylobacter jejuni. The purified autolysin was used to immunize rabbits and the antibodies produced precipitated autolytic activity from cell lysates. The specificity of the antibodies was shown by Western blotting: only a single specific band occurred, with a molecular mass of 34 kDa, and thus it seems unlikely that the 34-kDa autolysin was derived from any of the other autolysins that were detected.Key words: autolysin, Campylobacter upsaliensis, zymogram, murein hydrolase.
