In this study we examined P. betle antibacterial property on two bacterial species namely: Streptococcus agalactiae and Escherichia coli. The extract of P. betle was prepared by mixing 2 gm of P. betle powder with 20 ml of 70% ethanol. Then, the solvent was evaporated by using vacuum evaporator and the residue was freeze dried and stored at -20 ºC. The P. betle extract divided into three different concentrations that are 50 mg/ml, 75 mg/ml and 100 mg/ml. The results revealed that the leaves of Piper betle have many benefits including antibacterial activity. The three concentrations showed an effective zone of inhibition against S. agalactiae and E. coli using Kirby-Baeur method. In addition, the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) confirms the effectiveness of P. betle. This study findings indicated that P. betle extract can be a new source of antibacterial agent and an alternative antibacterial for control of S. agalactiae and to certain extant against E. coli infections.

AbstractAntibacterial epoxy resins (EP) have great potential in medical and electronic fields. During the process of extracting artemisinin from Artemisia annua, artemisia naphtha (AN) is generated as waste. The components of AN show antibacterial activity, and hence, it is introduced as a novel antibacterial agent in the epoxy matrix. In this study, the properties of epoxy resins with various AN loading were investigated. The results showed that AN/EP composites presented strong antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus at the sterilization ratio of 100% against E. coli and 99.96% against S. aureus, respectively. Meanwhile, the thermal properties (curing temperature and glass transition temperature) of AN/EP composites remained well, and the mechanical property was even improved. Especially, the flexural strength of AN/EP composites could be reinforced by 62.9% when the content of AN was up to 5 wt%. For comparison, Artemisia annua powder (AAP), which was directly smashed from natural A. annua, was also mixed with epoxy resins as an antibacterial agent and showed excellent antibacterial property. Therefore, antibacterial epoxy composites containing A. annua waste as a natural resource with the enhanced mechanical property may have enormous potential in future biological and healthcare fields.

Cellulase Enzyme

Gut microbiota of termites belonging to the species Coptotermes ceylonicus is known to contain plethora of enzymes of which cellulase is the most important among them. Cellulase was successfully extracted and isolated from the gut of these termites by using standard protocol. Cellulytic index was calculated and found to be 3.25. The extracted crude enzyme was partially purified by Dinitro Salicyclic Acid (DNS) method. Extracted cellulase enzyme was screened for antibacterial activity against two bacterial species, Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis) using well diffusion method. Partially purified cellulase enzyme showed effective antibacterial activity against E. coli (16 mm of zone of inhibition), however, there was no such effect observed in the B. subtilis. In this study we successfully isolated cellulase enzyme from the gut of Coptotermes ceylonicus and confirm its bactericidal effect against E. coli. Further studies are required to test the bactericidal effect of cellulase against different bacterial species.

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.

The antibacterial activity of geraniol and its effect in combination with ampicillin, amoxicillin and clarithromycin against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Helicobacter pylori was tested. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) and combinatory effects of geraniol against the bacteria were assessed by using the modified broth microdilution and checkerboard assay, respectively. The combinatory effect is expressed as fractional inhibitory concentration index (FICI). The MIC of geraniol against S. aureus, E. coli and H. pylori was found to be 11200, 5600, and 7325 μg/mL, respectively. A significant synergistic effect was observed with geraniol and ampicillin against S. aureus with FICI in the range 0.19 to 0.32. Geraniol and ampicillin exhibited a partial synergistic effect against E. coli. A similar effect was observed with geraniol and clarithromycin against S. aureus. A partial synergistic effect was observed with clarithromycin and geraniol against H. pylori with the FICI value in the range 0.86 to 0.89. An additive effect was observed with geraniol and amoxicillin combination against H. pylori. However, the amoxicillin and clarithromycin dose was reduced by thirty-two fold when combined with geraniol against H. pylori. The anti- H. pylori effect of geraniol with clarithromycin and amoxicillin could be of potential interest in the treatment of H. pylori infection and associated ulcers in humans. Further, geraniol, in combination with other antibiotics, has substantial therapeutic potential against S. aureus and E.coli infection.

This study describes the antibacterial activities of three different solvent extracts of leaves of Chenopodium album. Methanol, acetone and chloroform extracts of C. album were prepared. The antibacterial activity was assessed using well plate method and were examined for the size of zone of inhibition. Different extracts were investigated against the test organisms namely Lactobacillus, Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli. The maximum activity was observed at 100% concentration of different extracts of leaves. The maximum zone of inhibition for 100% concentration were observed as E. coli (19 mm) and Lactobacillus (19 mm) in diameter respectively. C. album did not show any antibacterial activity against B. subtilis. Antibacterial activity was compared with standard Amoxicillin and it was found to be 23 mm diameter for Lactobacillus and 25 mm for both E. coli and B. subtilis in terms of zone of inhibition.

Introduction: A series of (R)-(-)-4-Phenyl-2 oxazolidinone based azetidinones (4a-i) were synthesized from the reaction of (2-Oxo-4-phenyl-oxazolidin-3-yl) acetic acid with aromatic imines (3a-i) in the presence of Thionyl chloride and Triethylamine as a base. Methods: The transformation proceeds through the formation of acid chloride to ketene which finally forms the azetidinones through [2+2] cycloaddition with aromatic imines. Products obtained were screened to evaluate their antibacterial activity with respect to known bacteria like Escherichia Coli (E. Coli) and Bacillus subtilis. Results and Conclusion: In most of the cases, azetidinones were found to exhibit superior antimicrobial properties than oxazolidinones. They were found to be a good inhibitor of gram-positive and gramnegative bacteria. Enhancement of antibacterial property can be attributed to the presence of azetidinone ring and hydrophobic alkyl side chain in the scaffolds.

Psidium Guajava (Guava) and Carica Papaya leaves which have some ethnomedicinal applications were investigated. Phytochemical screening of their leaves revealed the presence of flavonoids, saponins, terpenoids, steroids, tannins and glycosides. Antimicrobial screening of the crude ethanolic extracts showed activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus faecalis, and Escherichia coli. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for P. gujava on the organism was found to be 5.00 mg/ml against S. aureus, E. coli and S. faecalis, while that of C. papaya leaves is 10.00 mg/ml against S. aureus, E. coli and 8.00 mg/ml against S. faecalis respectively. C. papaya ethanolic extract showed more active inhibition against S. aureus with mean zone inhibition of 9.54 ± 0.03.  P.   gujava ethanolic extract has more active inhibition against E. coli with antibacterial activity with mean zone of inhibition of 10.44±0.02 and S. faecalis with mean zone of inhibition of 6.72 ± 0.01 respectively.  This study showed that the leaves extract of these plants are good sources of bioactive compounds. Demonstration of antibacterial activity against the test isolates is an indication that there is possibility of sourcing alternative antibiotic substances in these plants for the production of newer antibacterial agents. These plants therefore, could be an important source of medicine for the treatment of various diseases.

Abstract. Rusdaryanti AF, Amalia U, Suharto S. 2020. Antibacterial activity of CaO from blood cockle shells (Anadara granosa) calcination against Escherichia coli. Biodiversitas 21: 2826-2830. Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) in blood clamp shells (BCS) was able to be converted into calcium oxide (CaO) through a calcination process. Some research stated that CaO can be used in the food industries b, one of which is as an antibacterial agent. The purpose of this study was to determine the most optimal size of BCS's powder during calcination as an antibacterial agent and its effect on the activity of Escherichia coli. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance and Kruskal-Wallis test. The results showed that 200 mesh size of BCS’s powder produced the highest yield of CaO at about 98.68% compared to 120 and 230 mesh size. The best concentration of CaO powder as an antibacterial was 3.5% with a pH of 11.3 ± 0.17. CaO powder had antibacterial activity against E. coli with minimum inhibitory concentration’s value (MIC) of-0.115; a minimum bactericidal concentration’s value (MBC) of 0 CFU/mL; inhibition zone of 3.23 ± 0.2 mm. By the PCR method, DNA degradation has occurred in E. coli cells. The differences of CaO powder concentration had significant effect (P <0.05) on the inhibition zone of E. coli.
