Antimicrobial activity of alcoholic extractions from the aboveground organs like bark and buds of Quercus robur L. was studied. The determination of the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was performed with the use of double serial dilution in broth. The following microorganisms were used as test cultures: Bacillus cereus, Candida albicans, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus. It has been revealed that alcoholic extractions of the bark of Quercus robur have the widest spectrum of antibacterial activity in relation to Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and Candida albicans. Results of microbiological analysis show that alcoholic extractions from the bark and buds have an antimicrobial effect on all of these strains with a single dilution (except for antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus with 70% extractions of bark of Quercus robur). In particular, relatively high antimicrobial activity was observed in alcoholic extracts of all buds concentrations against Candida albicans at a dilution of 2, 4 and 8 times and Escherichia coli at a dilution of 4, 8 and 16 times. The greatest antimicrobial effect against Pseudomonas aeruginosa has extracts from the bark and buds in all the studied concentrations of alcohol. A significant antimicrobial effect against Escherichia coli has 40% of extractions from the buds of Quercus robur when diluted by 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 and 64 times. The results can be used as justification for the introduction of a new type of raw material that is buds of Quercus robur, as well as drugs based on it in the State Pharmacopoeia of the Russian Federation as antibacterial phytopharmaceuticals.

The antimicrobial effect of aqueous extract of lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) on some isolated microorganisms under varying parameters was investigated. Aqueous extract of lemongrass was prepared and its antimicrobial effect was evaluated against isolated bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Bacillus cereus) and fungi (Aspergillus flavus and Candida albicans) at varying temperature (40, 60 and 800C) and concentration (10-1, 10-2, 10-4, 10-8 and 10-16 mol/L) of the lemongrass aqueous extract shows that the extract was resisted by Escherichia coli, Bacillus cereus, Aspergillus flavus and Candida albicans. The aqueous C. citratus was able to inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus and this inhibition increases as the concentration of the aqueous extract increase irrespective of the temperature of extraction. The aqueous extract of C. citratus is a tremendous antimicrobial substance especially towards Staphylococcus aureus.

Abstract. This research aimed to determine the antimicrobial activity of ethanol extract of Petiveria alliacea stem (EEPS) against Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) were determined by perforation and broth micro dilution methods. Study on the mechanism of action of EEPS was conducted by molecular docking and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) techniques. The results showed that EEPS had an inhibitory activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and Candida albicans with MIC values of 256, 128, 256, 512 µg/ml, consecutively. These values are included in to the medium category. Through the process of molecular docking, the best interaction was observed between S-benzyl-L-cysteine sulfoxide with penicillin-binding protein receptor of Pseudomonas aeruginosa characterized by free energy change (ΔG) of 4.32 kcal/mol, and the Ki value of 682.16 μM. Four folds of MIC of the EEPS caused changes in the morphology of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. EEPS possessed antimicrobial activities against Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans.   Keywords: Antimicrobial Activity, Molecular Docking, Petiveria alliacea, SEM.

Background: Due to the rapid development of microbial resistance, finding new molecules became urgent to counteract this problem. Objective: The objective of this work is to access 1,2,3-triazene-1,3-disubstituted, a class of molecule with high therapeutic potential. Methods: Here we describe the access to 17 new triazene including six with an imidazole-1,2,3-triazene moiety and eleven with an alkyl-1,2,3-triazene moiety and their evaluation against five strains: two gram (-): Escherichia coli ATCC 25921 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27253; two gram (+) : Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 38213 and Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212; and one fungi: Candida albicans ATCC 24433. Results: All strains were sensitive and the best MIC, 0.28 µM, is observed for 4c against Escherichia coli ATCC 25921. Compound 9, 3-isopropynyltriazene, appears to be the most interesting since it is active on the five evaluated strains with satisfactory MIC 0.32 µM against Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and 0.64 µM against Enterococcus faecalis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Conclusion: Comparing the structure activity relationship, electron withdrawing groups appear to increase antimicrobial activity.

The antimicrobial activity of two new series of bis-piperidinium compounds with alkyl chains of different lengths against bacterial (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis) and fungal strains (Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger, Rhodolorula rubera, Lipomyces lopofera and Candida albicans), are described. Antimicrobial activities of the synthesized compounds were compared to that of dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride. Bis-piperidinium salts possessing 12-16 carbon side chains showed better antimicrobial properties as compared to the standard dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride.

In this study, the potential antimicrobial activity of plasma-activated tap water (PAW) was evaluated against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans. For this, PAW was prepared in a gliding arc plasma system using two treatment conditions: stagnant water and water stirring by a magnetic stirrer, called moving water. Subsequently, their oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), pH, electrical conductivity (σ), and total dissolved solids (TDS) were monitored in different areas of the sample divided according to the depth of the beaker. It was observed that PAW obtained in dynamic conditions showed a more uniform acidity among the evaluated areas with pH 3.53 and ORP of 215 mV. Finally, standardized suspensions of Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538), Escherichia coli (ATCC 10799), and Candida albicans (SC 5314) were treated with PAW, and the reduction of viable cells determined the antimicrobial effect. Our results indicate that the tap water, activated by plasma treatment using gliding arc, is an excellent inactivation agent in the case of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. On the other hand, no significant antimicrobial activity was achieved for Candida albicans.
