Pantoea Ananatis

Antibiotic resistance is one of the most important global problems currently confronting the world. Different biomedical applications of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have indicated them to be promising antimicrobial agents. In the present study, extracellular extract of an endophytic bacterium, Pantoea ananatis, was used for synthesis of AgNPs. The synthesized AgNPs were characterized by UV–Vis spectroscopy, FTIR, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX), and Zeta potential. The antimicrobial potential of the AgNPs against pathogenic Staphylococcus aureus subsp. aureus (ATCC 11632), Bacillus cereus (ATCC 10876), Escherichia coli (ATCC 10536), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 10145) and Candida albicans (ATCC 10231), and multidrug resistant (MDR) Streptococcus pneumoniae (ATCC 700677), Enterococcus faecium (ATCC 700221) Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 33592) Escherichia coli (NCTC 13351) was investigated. The synthesized spherical-shaped AgNPs with a size range of 8.06 nm to 91.32 nm exhibited significant antimicrobial activity at 6 μg/disc concentration against Bacillus cereus (ATCC 10876) and Candida albicans (ATCC 10231) which were found to be resistant to conventional antibiotics. The synthesized AgNPs showed promising antibacterial efficiency at 10 µg/disc concentration against the MDR strains. The present study suggests that AgNPs synthesized by using the endophytic bacterium P. ananatis are promising antimicrobial agent.

Celem niniejszej pracy było określenie poziomu wybranych mikroorganizmów, porównanie zawartości polifenoli i antocyjanów oraz zdolności przeciwutleniającej napojów kombucha dostępnych w handlu detalicznym z napojem wytworzonym doświadczalnie metodą tradycyjną. Badania objęły 12 napojów komercyjnych oraz jeden uzyskany doświadczalnie, którego bazą była zielona herbata z 10-procentowym dodatkiem sacharozy. W badanych produktach oznaczono: liczbę bakterii Acetobacter sp., Gluconobacter sp., LAB i drożdży, pH, ogólną zawartość antocyjanów, ogólną zawartość polifenoli oraz aktywność przeciwutleniającą. Aktywność przeciwdrobnoustrojową napojów kombucha oceniono metodą dyfuzyjną, z zastosowaniem kolumienek, w stosunku do szczepów wzorcowych: Escherichia coli ATCC 35218, Listeria monocytogenes serotyp 1/2a (KMSiFŻC), Yersinia entercolitica (PCM 1919), Salmonella enteritidis (ATCC 130764), Bacillus cereus (PCM 2019), Enterococcus faecalis (ATTC 29212), Staphylococcus aureus (ATTC 25923), Saccharomyces cerevisiae (ŁOCK 14), Candida albicans (KMSiFŻC). Stwierdzono, że napoje deklarowane jako pasteryzowane (K7 - K12) były pozbawione mikroorganizmów z analizowanych grup. W pozostałych produktach komercyjnych dominującym mikroorganizmem były bakterie Acetobacter sp., których liczba zawierała się w przedziale 6 × 106 ÷ 1,1 × 107 jtk/ml. W napoju doświadczalnym wykazano drożdże w ilości 6,5 × 105 jtk/ml. Odczyn pH produktów był charakterystyczny i nie przekraczał 4,3. Zawartość antocyjanów we wszystkich napojach pochodzących z handlu wahała się między 0,2 ÷ 0,3 mg/dl, natomiast w próbie doświadczalnej było ich ponad dwa razy więcej. Zawartość polifenoli oraz zdolność przeciwutleniająca prób były zróżnicowane i nie stwierdzono ich korelacji z pochodzeniem produktu. Głównym czynnikiem warunkującym zdolność napojów kombucha do inhibicji bakterii potencjalnie chorobotwórczych dla człowieka jest obecność kwasów organicznych. Żaden z badanych napojów nie wykazywał antagonizmu w stosunku do testowanych drożdży.
