Abstract Cordia myxa is considered as one of traditional medicinal plants abundant in many countries including Iraq. Because of the healthy importance of this plant therefore the current research was established to extract the alkaloids from the its leaves with extraction percentage equal to 5.8% Preliminary qualitative detections were achieved for the alkaloids by using various chemical reagents. The medicinal efficacy of these alkaloids was determined depending on maximum inhibitory concentration (Max IC) which has value equal to 150 mg/ml and this concentration recorded inhibition zone diameters values equal to 30,22,26,25 and 30 mm against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeroginosa, Proteus Sp. and klebsiella Sp. bacteria. So Cordia myxa leaves alkaloids can be used as natural chemical drug to treat the most infections and inflammatory caused by these pathogens.

The toxicity of the first ten MEIC chemicals to Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis was examined. Nine of the chemicals were toxic to the bacteria, with the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) ranging from 10-3 to 4.4M. The sensitivities of both organisms were similar, but the effect on E. coli was often bactericidal, while it was bacteriostatic for B. subtilis. Digoxin was not detectably toxic to either bacterial species. Amitriptyline and FeSO4 were relatively less toxic to the bacteria than to human cells. For seven chemicals, a highly significant linear regression was established between log MIC in bacteria and log of blood concentration, giving lethal and moderate/mild toxicity in humans, as well as with toxicity to human lymphocytes.

Nanotechnology has become an irreplaceable need and green synthesis of nanoparticles offers several advantages over physical and chemical methods. Medicinal plants are the main reservoirs of drugs and drug candidates. We report the biogenic synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using aqueous root extract of Saussurea lappa. Verification and characterization of these nanoparticles were done by UV-visible spectroscopy, XRD-analysis and Scanning Electron Microscopy and FT-IR. Extract-loaded-AgNPs showed the highest inhibition zone against Escherichia coli (11.0 mm) and intermediate against Pseudomonas aeruginosa (9.0 mm). The methanolic root extract of S. lappa alone, also moderately inhibited Pseudomonas aeruginosa (9.0 mm) and showed lower activity (6.0 mm) against Escherichia coli. Its aqueous roots extract inhibited (6.0 mm) the growth of tested organisms. Methanolic extract showed antioxidant potency (IC50 = 0.814 μg/mL). Experiments revealed the presence of phenols and flavonoids in the roots of Saussurea lappa. These findings provide promising interest to exploit Saussurea lappa for the biogenic synthesis of AgNPs and their biological applications.

Bacteria are quick to adapt and evolve, especially under the effects of selective pressures from chemical antibiotics. In addition, bacteria may develop resistance to antibiotics from multiple classes simultaneously, making their eradication from the human body particularly challenging. This study aims to demonstrate that bacterial multiple-drug resistance can be developed and retained in a laboratory setting. Escherichia coli B was grown in tryptic soy broth in the presence of a small, increasing concentration of streptomycin. This exposure resulted in a strain of E. coli, which had an increased minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) towards streptomycin, or “resistance.” This resistant strain was then grown in like manner in nalidixic acid and then penicillin G. The result was a strain that became resistant to streptomycin and nalidixic acid, and increasingly resistant to nalidixic acid after penicillin G exposure. Additionally, the bacteria retained resistance to streptomycin and nalidixic acid even after exposure to those chemicals ceased. Genome sequencing and comparison to E. coli B reference strain REL606 revealed the emergence of point mutations with each exposure to an antibiotic. Of particular interest is a mutation associated with the appearance of nalidixic acid resistance. Base pair 4,553,488 was changed from adenine to guanine, resulting in a change from aspartate to glycine in the protein helicase. Previous studies have not indicated mutations to this locus as nalidixic acid resistance conferring. Thus, this mutation may be a novel mutation conferring E. coli B nalidixic acid resistance. Since the region of the mutated helicase is functionally undefined, a mechanism is not apparent. Further research needs to be done to confirm this hypothesis and illuminate a mechanism.
