Foeniculum Vulgare

Medicinal plants are considered modern resources for producing agents that could act as alternatives to antibiotics in demeanor of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The aim of the study was to evaluate the chemical composition and antibacterial activities of essential oil of Foeniculum vulgare (FV) against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Bacillus subtilis. Gas chromatography mass spectrometry was done to specify chemical composion. As a screen test to detect antibacterial properties of the essential oil, agar disk and agar well diffusion methods were employed. Macrobroth tube test was performed to determinate MIC. The results indicated that the most substance found in FV essential oil was Trans-anethole (47.41 %), also the essential oil of FV with 0.007 g/ml concentration has prevented P. aeruginosa and with 0.002 g/ml concentration has prevented B. subtilis from the growth. Thus, the research represents the antibacterial effects of the medical herb on test P. aeruginosa and B. subtilis. We believe that the article provide support to the antibacterial properties of the essential oil. The results indicate the fact that the essential oil from the plant can be useful as medicinal or preservatives composition.

Initial Stage

Infection is a disease caused by the presence of pathogenic microbes, including Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Garlic (Allium sativum L.) has chemical contents such as allicin, alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, and steroids, which can function as an antibacterial against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. This study aims to determine the antibacterial properties of garlic extract powder against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. This research is the initial stage of the development of herbal medicines to treat Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli infections. The antibacterial activity test was carried out by the liquid dilution method. The concentrations used were 30 mg/mL, 40 mg/mL, 50 mg/mL, 60 mg/mL and 70 mg/mL. The results showed that the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli was 40 mg/mL and 50 mg / mL. Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) results for Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli are 50 mg/mL and 70 mg/mL. Based on the Simple Linear Regression test, the R2 value of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli is 0.545 and 0.785, so it can be concluded that there is an effect of garlic extract powder on the growth of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli by 54.5% and 78.5%. Garlic (Allium sativum L.) extract powder has potential as herbal medicine against bacterial infections but requires further research to determine its effect in vivo.

Background: Bacterial infections are considered as one of the major global health threats, so it is very essential to design and develop new antibacterial agents to overcome the drawbacks of existing antibacterial agents. Method: The aim of this work is to synthesize a series of new fluoroquinolone-3-carboxamide amino acid conjugates by molecular hybridization. We utilized benzotriazole chemistry to synthesize the desired hybrid conjugates. Result: All the conjugates were synthesized in good yields, characterized, evaluated for their antibacterial activity. The compounds were screened for their antibacterial activity using methods adapted from the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute. Synthesized conjugates were tested for activity against medically relevant pathogens; Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 27856) Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923) and Enterococcus faecalis (ATCC 19433). Conclusion: The observed antibacterial experimental data indicates the selectivity of our synthesized conjugates against E.Coli. The protecting group on amino acids decreases the antibacterial activity. The synthesized conjugates are non-toxic to the normal cell lines. The experimental data were supported by computational studies.

High Inhibition

Background: Metal oxide nanomaterial such as; ZnO shows novel structural, optical, electrical and antibacterial properties due to wide band gap (3.37 eV) and high excitonic binding energy (60 meV). Probing these inherent properties of nanosized ZnO with different morphology has generated new interest among researchers Objective: To investigate the size dependent functional attributes, ZnO nanorods were prepared by hydrothermal method and the photocatalytic (PC) efficiency was studied. The photoluminescence (PL) property of ZnO nanorods was also studied by recording the emission spectrum under photo-excitation. These nanorods (NRs) were coated on cotton fabric to study the effectiveness of these NRs in defending and inhibiting the growth of different bacteria Methods: The crystallographic structure and morphology of the ZnO samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopic (FESEM) measurements. PL measurement at room temperature was undertaken by exciting the sample with light of wavelength 350 nm. The PC property of ZnO NRs was studied in degrading organic dyes like methylene blue. Bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis were cultured and the inhibition of growth of these bacteria was studied by the application of ZnO. To enhance the microbe defence mechanism of fabric, we coated these NRs on fabric test samples and investigated the bacterial growth on it. Results: XRD and FESEM studies reveal the dimension of the synthesized products in nano range. These nanorods are of high density and surface roughness as per the FESEM study. PL measurement shows the presence of strong UV emission at 382 nm with defect emissions in the blue-green region opening up the path for ZnO to be used in fabrication of optoelectronic devices. PC study reveals that 89% degradation of methylene blue (MB) dye is achievable in 180 min using these ZnO catalysts. The anti-bacterial study shows that the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of ZnO nanorods coated on the fabric against S. aureus is found to be 3.5 mg/ml which is the minimum as compared to E. coli (7.5 mg/ml) and B. subtilis (5.5 mg/ml). The study further enunciates that fabric coated with ZnO samples exhibited considerably high inhibition activity toward S. aureus. Conclusion: The study shows that ZnO NRs can be effectively used for fabrication of UV-LASER/LED. Photocatalytic efficiency of ZnO will be useful for degradation of organic dyes controlling environment pollution. It further enunciates that fabric coated with ZnO samples exhibited considerably high inhibition activity toward S. aureus (skin bacteria) which will be helpful in defending microbes if used in surgical cotton bandages
