Objective: In the present research work silver nanoparticles were synthesized using the flower extract of Chrysanthemum coronarium and their in-vitro antibacterial activity was evaluated against both the gram-positive S. aureus and gram-negative bacteria E. coli. The flower extract acted both as a reducing as well as a capping agent.Methods: Silver nanoparticles were verified using various spectroanalytical techniques such as visible ultraviolet spectroscopy, zeta potential, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and particle size analyser. The antibacterial activity was evaluated against both the gram-positive bacteria S. aureus and gram-negative bacteria E. coli using the agar well diffusion method.Results: The silver nanoparticles synthesized were confirmed by the visual colour change. The ultraviolet, visible spectroscopy showed a surface plasmon resonance at 430 nm. Zetapotential was found to be around-15.6mV where the negative value indicated that the synthesized silver nanoparticles are stable. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy showed the functional groups responsible for the stabilization of the nanoparticles. Particle size analyser showed that the size of the nanoparticles ranged from 5-50 nm. The antibacterial activity of the silver nanoparticles which was performed against S. aureus and E. coli showed good inhibition against both the bacteria. Better antibacterial activity was found for E. coli in comparison to S. aureus as the zone of inhibition for E. coli was found to be at 12 mm at 50ug/ml whereas the zone of inhibition against S. aureus was found to be at 10 mm.Conclusion: The silver nanoparticles were successfully synthesized using a green approach and can be used as a potential resource for therapeutic purpose.

Urinary tract infections (UTI) are a serious bacterial pathological challenges all over the world, leading to respiratory infections, that’s why new strategies don’t cease to develop. Lactic acid bacteria having shown beneficial effects for years in various areas, may prove to be excellent candidates in medical field. The current research focused on the selection of lactic acid bacteria having the potential of an antibacterial activity against Gram negative bacteria responsible for UTI, for an eventual use as a therapeutic agent. A total of 40 isolates were isolated from goat’s raw milk of Mostaganem (West Algeria). In vitro tests were conducted in order to determine the efficiency of the isolates to produce antibacterial agents in interaction with uropathogens. Among 40 isolates, only 10 isolates identified as Lactobacilli and Lactococci were performant. The Screening showed that the inhibitor agent was proteinaceous substance. Therfore, it is noted that a treatment with presence of LAB is very encouraging as a result of the production of bacteriocin-like substance. On the other hand, LAB can be considered as a good alter-native to the large extent to the antibiotics in the treatment of UTI.

Slow Development

Medicinal plants are targeted in the search for new antimicrobial agents. Nowadays, there is an alarmingly increasing antimicrobial resistance to available agents with a very slow development of new antimicrobials. It is, therefore, necessary to extensively search for new agents based on the traditional use of herbal medicines as potential source. The antibacterial activity of 80% methanol extracts of the leaves of Verbena officinalis (Vo-80ME), Myrtus communis (Mc-80ME), and Melilotus elegans (Me-80ME) was tested against 6 bacterial isolates using agar well diffusion technique. In each extract, 3 concentrations of 10, 20, and 40 mg/well were tested for each bacterium. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) were also determined. Vo-80ME and Mc-80ME exhibited promising antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus with the highest zone of inhibition being 18.67 and 26.16 mm, respectively at concentration of 40 mg/well. Regarding gram-negative bacteria, Vo-80ME exhibited an appreciable activity against Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhi. Mc-80ME displayed remarkable activity against all isolates including Pseudomonas aeruginosa with the maximum zone of inhibition being 22.83 mm. Me-80ME exhibited better antibacterial activity against E coli, but its secondary metabolites had little or no activity against other gram-negative isolates. The MIC values of Vo-80ME ranged from 0.16 to 4.00 mg/mL. The lowest MIC was observed in Mc-80ME, with the value being 0.032 mg/mL. Mc-80ME had bactericidal activity against all tested bacterial isolates. Mc-80ME showed remarkable zone of inhibitions in all tested bacterial isolates. Besides, Vo-80ME showed good antibacterial activity against S aureus, E coli, and S typhi. Conversely, Me-80ME has shown good activity against E coli only. Generally, M communis L and V officinalis have good MIC and MBC results.
