Three medicinal plants grown wild in Jordan, namely Achillea santolina L, Achillea fragrantisimma, Asteriscus graveolens (Forssk) Less, were extracted with ethyl acetate by continuous shaking at room temperature for three days. The antibacterial activity of the crude extract was evaluated. The extracts were analyzed for their phenolic and flavonoids content by HPLC-PDA. The HPLC analysis of the plant extracts revealed the presence of flavonoids and phenolic compounds in the three plant extracts. Results revealed a strong antibacterial activity of A. graveolens against three bacterial strains (B. subtilis, E. coli, and S.aureus) while A. fragrantissima inhibited the growth of B. subtilis. Bioactivities were attributed mainly to the immense content of phenol-based compounds in plants.

Antibiotics are becoming ineffective against resistant bacteria. The use of essential oils (EOs) may constitute an alternative solution to fight against multidrug-resistant bacteria. This study aims to determine the chemical composition of EOs from five populations of the endemic Algerian Origanum glandulosum Desf. and to investigate their potential antibacterial activity against multidrug-resistant uropathogenic E. coli strains. The EOs were obtained by hydrodistillation and their composition was investigated by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The antibacterial activity was evaluated by the disc diffusion method against eight E. coli strains (six uropathogenic resistant and two referenced susceptible strains). Minimum inhibitory and bactericidal concentrations (MIC/MBC) were obtained by the broth microdilution method. The main EO components were thymol (15.2–56.4%), carvacrol (2.8–59.6%), γ-terpinene (9.9–21.8%) and p-cymene (8.5–13.9%). The antibacterial tests showed that all the EOs were active against all the strains, including the multidrug-resistant strains. The EO from the Bordj location, which contained the highest amount of carvacrol (59.6%), showed the highest antibacterial activity (inhibition diameters from 12 to 24.5 mm at a dilution of 1/10). To our knowledge, this is the first description of the activity of O. glandulosum EOs against resistant uropathogenic strains. Our study suggests that O. glandulosum EO could be used in some clinical situations to treat or prevent infections (e.g., urinary tract infections) with multidrug-resistant strains.

The control over contagious diseases caused by pathogenic organisms has become a serious health issue. The extensive usage of antibiotics has led to the development of multidrug-resistant bacterial strains. In this regard, metal-oxide-based antibacterial nanomaterials have received potential research interest due to the efficient prevention of microorganism growth. In this study, splat-shaped Ag–TiO2 nanocomposites (NCs) were synthesized on the gram scale and the enhanced antibacterial properties of TiO2 in the presence of silver were examined. The formation of Ag–TiO2 NCs was analyzed through various characterization techniques. The cell viability experimental results demonstrated that the Ag–TiO2 NCs have good biocompatibility. The antibacterial activity of the prepared Ag–TiO2 NCs was tested against the Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Gram-negative Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacterial strains. The Ag–TiO2 NCs exhibited promising and superior antibacterial properties compared to TiO2 nanospheres as confirmed by the bacterial growth and inhibition zone. The improvement in the antibacterial activity was attributed to the synergistic effect of the hybrid nature of TiO2 nanoparticles in the presence of Ag.

Infectious or non-infectious peritonitis leads to systemic inflammation due to violation of the peritoneum which is often fatal. Evidences suggest that common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is a source of nutrients and contains phenolic compounds having antioxidant activity and its consumption has been linked with improved health benefits. The aim of the present investigation was evaluate the in vitro antibacterial, antioxidant activity and protective potential of the methanolic extract of P. vulgaris in E. coli induced model of peritonitis in albino wistar rats. Rats were pre-treated with 200 mg/kg and 400 mg/kg/bwt dose for 3 days and fourth day with E. coli (1×108 CFU/ml) strain and consecutively 3 days treatment. Mortality was monitored for 14 days. After the death of rats or completion of the experiment rats were sacrifice and kidney were used for our protocol. Colonies were count and statically analysis was done. Results showed dose dependent antibacterial activity. Thus the methanolic extract of P. vulgaris exhibited significant protection against E. coli induced peritonitis in normal rats. It significantly reduced the viable cells of E. coli when inoculated in rats. Activity is attributed to flavonoids and phenolic compounds. The present study thus suggests that methanolic extract of P. vulgaris significantly reverses peritoneal infection by E. coli in rats. It can be suggest that this medicinal formulation will be used as herbal medicine with no side effects. The high content of phenolic compounds, antioxidant activity and antibacterial activity of P. vulgaris indicate that they may impart health benefits when consumed and should be regarded as a valuable source of antioxidants. Thus, consumption of P. vulgaris seed along with coats might be recommended to gaining better nutritive benefits. Keywords:  P. vulgaris, Peritonitis, Antioxidant, Antibacterial, E. coli

The antibacterial effect of Prosopis cineraria leaves was evaluated on multidrug resistant (MDR) strains of Bacillus subtilis (ATCC 6633), E. coli (ATCC 8739), Salmonella enterica (ATCC 14028), Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 27853). Powdered leaves of the tree were treated with methanol for the extraction. Crude methanol extracts of the leaves of P. cineraria was investigated for their antibacterial activity against a wide range of bacteria (both gram-positive and gram-negative) by agar well diffusion method. Ciprofloxacin was used as standard. The methanolic leaves extracts of P. cineraria showed a remarkable inhibition of the microorganisms. The potency shown by these extracts recommends their use against multidrug resistant microorganisms. The present study suggests that the methanol extract of the leaves of P. cineraria exhibited a potential antibacterial activity against the tested microorganisms and could be a potential source of new antimicrobial agents.

ABSTRACT The global spread of multidrug-resistant enterobacteria warrants new strategies to combat these pathogens. One possible approach is the reconsideration of “old” antimicrobials, which remain effective after decades of use. Synthetic 5-nitrofurans such as furazolidone, nitrofurantoin, and nitrofurazone are such a class of antimicrobial drugs. Recent epidemiological data showed a very low prevalence of resistance to this antimicrobial class among clinical Escherichia coli isolates in various parts of the world, forecasting the increasing importance of its uses to battle antibiotic-resistant enterobacteria. However, although they have had a long history of clinical use, a detailed understanding of the 5-nitrofurans’ mechanisms of action remains limited. Nitrofurans are known as prodrugs that are activated in E. coli by reduction catalyzed by two redundant nitroreductases, NfsA and NfsB. Furazolidone, nevertheless, retains relatively significant antibacterial activity in the nitroreductase-deficient ΔnfsA ΔnfsB E. coli strain, indicating the presence of additional activating enzymes and/or antibacterial activity of the unreduced form. Using genome sequencing, genetic, biochemical, and bioinformatic approaches, we discovered a novel 5-nitrofuran-activating enzyme, AhpF, in E. coli. The discovery of a new nitrofuran-reducing enzyme opens new avenues for overcoming 5-nitrofuran resistance, such as designing nitrofuran analogues with higher affinity for AhpF or screening for adjuvants that enhance AhpF expression.

Amphiphilic Peptide

The emergence and prevalence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria particularly Gram-negative bacteria presents a global crisis for human health. Colistin and tigecycline were recognized as the last resort of defenses against MDR Gram-negative pathogens. However, the emergence and prevalence of MCR or Tet(X)-mediated acquired drug resistance drastically impaired their clinical efficacy. It has been suggested that antimicrobial peptides might act a crucial role in combating antibiotic resistant bacteria owing to their multiple modes of action and characteristics that are not prone to developing drug resistance. Herein, we report a safe and stable tryptophan-rich amphiphilic peptide termed WRK-12 with broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against various MDR bacteria, including MRSA, colistin and tigecycline-resistant Escherichia coli. Mechanistical studies showed that WRK-12 killed resistant E. coli through permeabilizing the bacterial membrane, dissipating membrane potential and triggering the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Meanwhile, WRK-12 significantly inhibited the formation of an E. coli biofilm in a dose-dependent manner. These findings revealed that amphiphilic peptide WRK-12 is a promising drug candidate in the fight against MDR bacteria.
