Cobalt(II) chloride reacts with 2-aminobenzimidazole derivatives to give complexes of the formula [CoL2Cl2], where L=2-aminobenzimidazole 1-benzyl-2-aminobenzimidazole and 1-(4-methylbenzyl)-2-aminobenzimidazole. All the ligands and their cobalt(II) complexes were evaluated for their in vitro antimicrobial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus sp. Staphylococcus aureus, Sarcina lutea and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined for all ligands and their complexes. It was found that tested compounds were more active against gram-positive than gram-negative bacteria. None of the compounds were significantly effective against yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, except 2-aminobenzimidazole complex, which moderately inhibited the growth of yeast. 1-(4-methylbenzil)-2-aminobenzimidazole was found to be slightly active against Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The same ligand showed the lowest MIC value of 60 (g/ml against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, as well as 125 (g/ml, against Bacillus sp. and Sarcina lutea. The MIC value of its cobalt(II) complex was 60 (g/ml against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Cobalt(II) complex with 1-benzyl-2-aminobenzimidazole showed the lowest MIC value of 60 (g/ml against Staphylococcus aureus. The effect of ligand and complex structure on the antimicrobial activity was discussed.

The present study is a continuation of the scientific research works for the synthesis of anthraquinonе-containing derivatives with cyclic ring systems by the interaction of 1,2,4-trihydroxyanthraquinone (purpurin) with cyclic carboxylic acid chlorides. Series of purpurin esters containing a saturated cyclic fragment was studied for antibacterial activity about museum strains of microorganisms. The effects of these preparations in vitro about Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538, Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Pseudomonas aeruginosa АТСС 27853 and fungus Сandida albicans АТСС 10231 were studied. It has been found that the compounds with the cyclohexane fragment have possess an antimicrobial activity with strains of microorganisms Staphylococcus aureus АТСС 6538 for which the MIC value was 31.25 μg/ml.

ABSTRACT The antimicrobial activity of human β-defensin 3 (hBD-3) against multidrug-resistant clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, and Acinetobacter baumannii was evaluated. A fast bactericidal effect (within 20 min) against all bacterial strains tested was observed. The presence of 20% human serum abolished the bactericidal activity of hBD-3 against gram-negative strains and reduced the activity of the peptide against gram-positive strains.

AbstractThe aerial parts of Gontscharovia popovii (B. Fedtsch. and Gontsch.) Boriss. were collected at full flowering stage. The essential oil was isolated by hydrodistillation and analyzed by a combination of capillary GC and GC-MS. Thirty-one components were identified with the main constituent being carvacrol (71.9%), followed by linalool (5.5%), p-cymene (4.5%) and γ-terpinene (4.4%). The in vitro antimicrobial activity of the essential oil of G. popovii was studied against seven Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria (Bacillus subtilis, Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumoniae) and three fungi (Candida albicans, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Aspergillus niger). The results of the bioassays showed that the oil exhibited strong antimicrobial activity against all the tested fungi and bacteria except for the resistant bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

The present study is a continuation of the scientific research works for the synthesis of anthraquinonе-containing derivatives with cyclic ring systems by the interaction of 1,2,4-trihydroxyanthraquinone (purpurin) with cyclopropanecarboxylic acid chloride and cyclobutanecarboxylic acid chloride by using the ultrasonic treatment. Esters of purpurin, studied for antibacterial activity in museum test strains of microorganisms (Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538-P, Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Pseudomonas aeruginosa АТСС 27853, Сandida albicans АТСС 10231) in vitro with the determination of the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value. The study revealed that the cyclopropane substituent exhibits moderate antibacterial activity against Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633. While with the cyclobutane moiety it had a weak effect with respect to Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC strain. It has been found that the compounds with the cyclopropane and cyclobutane fragment have possessed antimicrobial activity in relation to strains of microorganisms Staphylococcus aureus АТСС 6538 for which the MIC value was 62.5 μg/ml.

Introduction: Medicinal plants are plentiful of bioactive molecules effective against multi-resistance bacteria. The aims of this study were to assess the in vitro antimicrobial activities of essential oils extracted from three Moroccan aromatic plants. Methodology: Analysis of essential oils of Origanum compactum, Rosmarinus officinalis and Pelargonium asperum, collected from different localities in Morocco, were performed using a GC-MS spectrophotometry. Antibacterial activity was evaluated in vitro for five clinical multi-resistant isolates. Results: Origanum showed strong antibacterial activity against tested strains except Pseudomonas aeruginosa while Rosmarinum showed a bactericidal effect against Acinetobacter baumanii, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Pelargonium presented only slight growth inhibition of Staphylococcus aureus on solid medium, but provided bactericidal effect against Acinetobacter baumanii and Staphylococcus aureus. Interestingly, fractions F7 and F8 of Pelargonium which represented only 0.3% and 0.1% of the total mass were found bactericidal respectively against Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Conclusions: Ours results showed that the antimicrobial activities were variables depending on the chemical composition of essential oils, the fraction used and the microorganism tested.Essential oils fractionation allows detection of bioactive substances, especially those owning antimicrobial activity, present in small quantities.

The antimicrobial effect of the ZnO nanoparticles dispersed in polyurethane varnishes was investigated. Antimicrobial activity was evaluated against three bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and one strain fungi (Sacharomyces cerevisiae) by the 'pour-plate' test. It was shown that the ZnO nanoparticles efficiently inhibit growth of the colonies of Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, but their activity against Escherichia coli was found to be questionable suggesting more detailed research.
