High prevalence of antibiotic resistance is necessitating the investigation of novel antimicrobials from natural herbs and plant. So, this present study investigated two of indigenously cultivated jute plants, Corchorus capsularis (white jute)and Corchorus olitorius (tossa jute) for their antibacterial activity. Lipophilic extracts of leaves were prepared and fractionated by column chromatography resulting in 6 fractions of the extract of C. olitorius leaves (At, Bt, Ct, Dt, Et and Ft) and 11 fractions in case of white jute leaves (Aw, Bw, Cw, Dw, Ew, Fw, Gw, Hw, Iw, Jw and Kw). Each fraction of both of the leaves extracts were used to tested by agar well diffusion assay against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli along with a control organism, E. coli DH5±. While the fractions of C. olitorius leaves showed higher antibacterial activity against S. aureus, fractions of the extract of C. capsularis leaves were more effective against E. coli. The At fraction of C. olitorius extract showed the highest inhibition zone of 19 ± 2.80 mm against S. aureus and Dw fraction of C. capsularis extract had the highest inhibition zone of 15 ± 2.3 mm against E. coli (p <0.05). The extract of C. olitorius leaves showed comparatively higher antibacterial effect than that of C. capsularis leaves. Considering the promising finding regarding the antibacterial effectiveness, these fractions of the leave extract should be analyzed further to isolate the exact bioactive component to develop the lead component of new generation antibacterial drugs.

The production of small ruminants is an important economic activity of the brazilian Northeast, but some diseases have a high prevalence in this region, such as caseous lymphadenitis (CL), caused by Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis. The treatment of CL is often ineffective, which justifies the search of new active principles from plants, mainly of the region, to have an accessible treatment. For this reason, the present study was carried out to evaluate the in vitro antibacterial activity of Annona squamosa, Azadirachta indica, Allium sativum, Prosopis juliflora and Portulaca oleracea against C. pseudotuberculosis. Agar well diffusion assay (AWD) and broth microdilution - to determine minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and bactericidal concentration (MBC) - evaluated the antimicrobial activity. The highest antibacterial potential was obtained by ethanolic extracts of A. indica leaf (MIC 0,12 mg/mL for 2 strains), A. squamosa stalk (MIC 0,55 mg/mL for 3 strains) and shell (MIC 0,6 mg/mL for 3 strains). These extracts also presented the highest inhibition zone in AWD (30 mm, 38 mm and 32 mm, respectively). A. squamosa and A. indica have high antimicrobial potential against C. pseudotuberculosis.

Objective: The present research aims to synthesize some new polycyclic compounds including chromene moiety and study their antimicrobial activity. Methods: Several new polycyclic systems including chromene scaffold incorporated with pyridine, pyrimidine, imidazopyrimidine, and imidazodiazocine were achieved via condensation reaction of chromene derivative under the proper condition with various reagents namely; cyanothioacetamide, phenyl isothiocyanate, malononitrile, carbon disulfide, benzaldehyde, triethylorthoformate, and 1,4-dichlorobutane. Moreover, a chlorodiazenyl chromene derivative was reacted with some substances possessing active–CH2-bridge such as ethyl cyanoacetate and malononitrile to end up with hydrazono compounds. Such compounds were eventually cyclized with hydrazine hydrate to form pyrazole and oxopyrazole derivatives. Moreover, compound 1 was treated with benzoyl acetone, and then followed by cyclization with malononitrile to provide the corresponding 2-amino14-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4-methy-5-phenyl-14H-benzo[5,6] chromeno[2,3H][1,6]naphthyridine-3-carbonitrile (20). Results: The results of the antimicrobial screening in vitro revealed that the inhibition zone (mm) of the synthesized compounds 1-3, 5 and 8 implied their optimum antibacterial activity, while the compounds 4, 6 and 9-13, 15 showed a moderate to weak antibacterial activity against multiple species of B. subtilis, S. aureus, E. coli and P. aeruginosa. In contrast, the compounds 1, 6, 11, 15 showed high antifungal activities against different species of A. flavinand C. albicans, while the other compounds exhibit a moderate to poor antifungal activity. Conclusion: It is remarkable that a series of chromene derivatives synthesized by a simple and available method leads to a molecule of promising antimicrobial activity. Further research is recommended to approve the importance of polycyclic systems for various applications.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the in vitro antibacterial activity of Black soldier fly (BSF) larva extract. The BSF larva was extracted using methanol and then tested for antibacterial activity using agar diffusion method (zone growth inhibition). The antibacterial activity was conducted against Salmonella sp. and Escherichia coli, two important bacterial strains in poultry, using six dilution levels (10 mg/ml, 20 mg/ml, 40 mg/ml, 80 mg/ml, 160 mg/ml and 320 mg/ml). All the results were subjected analyze using t-test method. Based on the diameter of the inhibition zone, the BSF larva extract has a strong (P<0.05) antibacterial activity against Salmonella sp. and E. coli when the concentration used 320 mg/ml. In addition, BSF larva extract also contain high amount of lauric acid (49.18%), a saturated fatty acid that has been proven to proposes as antibacterial agent. Therefore, it could be concluded that the BSF larva extract could be used as a candidate for antibacterial substances.

Green tea and hibiscus are widely consumed as traditional beverages in Yemen and some regional countries. They are relatively cheap and the belief is that they improve health state and cure many diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential protective and antibacterial activity of these two famous plantsin vitrothrough measuring their antibacterial activity andin vivothrough measuring nonenzymatic kidney markers dysfunction after induction of nephrotoxicity by gentamicin. Gram positive bacteria like MRSA (methicillin resistantStaphylococcus aureus) were isolated from hospitalized patients’ different sources (pus and wound) and Gram negative bacteria includingE. coliandP. aeruginosawere usedin vitrostudy. In addition, the efficacy of these plants was assessedin vivothrough measuring nonenzymatic kidney markers including S. creatinine and S. urea. Green tea was shown antimicrobial activity against MRSA with inhibition zone 19.67 ± 0.33 mm and MIC 1.25 ± 0.00 mg/mL compared with standard reference (vancomycin) 18.00 ± 0.00 mg/mL. Hibiscus did not exhibit a similar effect. Both Hibiscus- and green tea-treated groups had nephroprotective effects as they reduced the elevation in nonenzymatic kidney markers. We conclude that green tea has dual effects: antimicrobial and nephroprotective.

The determination of the antibacterial activity (zone of inhibition) and minimum inhibitory concentration of medicinal plants a crucial step in drug development. In this study, the antibacterial activity and minimum inhibitory concentration of the ethanol extract of Myrsine africana were determined for Escherichia coli, Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Streptococcus pneumoniae. The zones of inhibition (mm±S.E) of 500mg/ml of M. africana ethanol extract were 22.00± 0.00 for E. coli,20.33 ±0.33 for B. cereus,25.00± 0.00 for S. epidermidis and 18. 17±0.17 for S. pneumoniae. The minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC) is the minimum dose required to inhibit growth a microorganism. Upon further double dilution of the 500mg/ml of M. africana extract, MIC was obtained for each organism. The MIC for E. coli, B. cereus, S. epidermidis and S. pneumoniae were 7.81mg/ml, 7.81mg/ml, 15.63mg/ml and 15.63mg/ml respectively. Crude extracts are considered active when they inhibit microorganisms with zones of inhibition of 8mm and above. Therefore, this study has shown that the ethanol extract of M. africana can control the growth of the four organisms tested.

High Prevalence

The design of new polymeric systems for antimicrobial drug release focused on medical/surgical procedures is of great interest in the biomedical area due to the high prevalence of bacterial infections in patients with wounds or burns. For this reason, in this work, we present a new design of pH-sensitive hydrogels copolymerized by a graft polymerization method (gamma rays), intended for localized prophylactic release of ciprofloxacin and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) for potential topical bacterial infections. The synthesized hydrogels were copolymerized from acrylic acid (AAc) and agar. Cross-linked hydrogel film formation depended on monomer concentrations and the degree of radiation used (Cobalt-60). The obtained hydrogel films were characterized by attenuated total reflectance Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and mechanical testing. The swelling of the hydrogels was evidenced by the influence of their pH-sensitiveness. The hydrogel was loaded with antimicrobial agents (AgNPs or ciprofloxacin), and their related activity was evaluated. Finally, the antimicrobial activity of biocidal-loaded hydrogel was tested against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) on in vitro conditions.
