Background: One of the most common health problems is infectious diseases. Infectious disease can be caused by bacteria. There were two groups of bacteria based on the staining, Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Purpose: Antibiotics are the main therapy used in the incidence of bacterial infections. But over time, some antibiotics became resistance. Several studies have shown that garlic has an antibacterial effect. The content of allicin, ajoene, saponins, and flavonoids is found in garlic which has antibacterial properties. The antibiotic activity test of garlic was carried out on the bacteria Streptococcus pyogenes and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The goal of this study is to investigate the antibacterial effect of Allium sativum L. extract against Streptococcus pyogenes and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Methods: Garlic extract was made using the maceration method using 96% alcohol as the solvent. Tube dilution method elected to observe garlic antibiotic activity. This test aims to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC). There were eight different concentration used, i.e. 2 grams/ml, 1 gram/ml, 0.5 gram/ml, 0.25 gram/ml, 0.125 gram/ml, 0.0625 gram/ml, 0.03125 gram/ml, and 0.015625 gram/ml. Replication is done three times. Results: In this experiment, the extract produced was turbid that MIC could not be determined and there was no momentous differentiation between before and after treatment. There was no growth of Streptococcus pyogenes in 1 gram/ml and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in 0.5 gram/ml. This number indicates the MBC for each bacteria. Conclusion: Garlic (Allium sativum L.) has an effect of bactericidal activity, it can perform as an antibacterial for Streptococcus pyogenes and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Garlic extract was more effective for Pseudomonas aeruginosa than Streptococcus pyogenes.

ABSTRACTMultidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens are becoming increasingly prevalent, and novel strategies to treat bacterial infections caused by these organisms are desperately needed. Bacterial central metabolism is crucial for catabolic processes and provides precursors for anabolic pathways, such as the biosynthesis of essential biomolecules like amino acids or vitamins. However, most essential pathways are not regarded as good targets for antibiotic therapy since their products might be acquired from the environment. This issue raises doubts about the essentiality of such targets during infection. A putative target in bacterial anabolism is the methionine biosynthesis pathway. In contrast to humans, almost all bacteria carry methionine biosynthesis pathways which have often been suggested as putative targets for novel anti-infectives. While the growth of methionine auxotrophic strains can be stimulated by exogenous methionine, the extracellular concentrations required by most bacterial species are unknown. Furthermore, several phenotypic characteristics of methionine auxotrophs are only partly reversed by exogenous methionine. We investigated methionine auxotrophic mutants ofStaphylococcus aureus,Pseudomonas aeruginosa, andEscherichia coli(all differing in methionine biosynthesis enzymes) and found that each needed concentrations of exogenous methionine far exceeding that reported for human serum (∼30 µM). Accordingly, these methionine auxotrophs showed a reduced ability to proliferate in human serum. Additionally,S. aureusandP. aeruginosamethionine auxotrophs were significantly impaired in their ability to form and maintain biofilms. Altogether, our data show intrinsic defects of methionine auxotrophs. This result suggests that the pathway should be considered for further studies validating the therapeutic potential of inhibitors.IMPORTANCENew antibiotics that attack novel targets are needed to circumvent widespread resistance to conventional drugs. Bacterial anabolic pathways, such as the enzymes for biosynthesis of the essential amino acid methionine, have been proposed as potential targets. However, the eligibility of enzymes in these pathways as drug targets is unclear because metabolites might be acquired from the environment to overcome inhibition. We investigated the nutritional needs of methionine auxotrophs of the pathogensStaphylococcus aureus,Pseudomonas aeruginosa, andEscherichia coli. We found that each auxotrophic strain retained a growth disadvantage at methionine concentrations mimicking those availablein vivoand showed that biofilm biomass was strongly influenced by endogenous methionine biosynthesis. Our experiments suggest that inhibition of the methionine biosynthesis pathway has deleterious effects even in the presence of external methionine. Therefore, additional efforts to validate the effects of methionine biosynthesis inhibitorsin vivoare warranted.

AbstractGarlic has long been known as the most effective plant species in treatment of bacterial infections. Considering the vast potential of garlic as a source of antimicrobial drugs, this study is aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activity of Allium sativum extracts and their interactions with selected antibiotics against drug-sensitive and multidrug-resistant isolates of emerging bacterial pathogens that are frequently found in healthcare settings. As shown by the in vitro data obtained in this study, the whole Allium sativum extract inhibited the growth of a broad range of bacteria, including multidrug-resistant strains with bactericidal or bacteriostatic effects. Depending on the organism, the susceptibility to fresh garlic extract was comparable to the conventional antibiotic gentamycin. Since the combinations of fresh garlic extract with gentamycin and ciprofloxacin inhibited both the drug sensitive and MDR bacteria, in most cases showing a synergistic or insignificant relationship, the potential use of such combinations may be beneficial, especially in inhibiting drug-resistant pathogens. The study results indicate the possibility of using garlic as e.g. a supplement used during antibiotic therapy, which may increase the effectiveness of gentamicin and ciprofloxacin.
