Objective: To isolate and characterize novel actinomycetes and to evaluate their antibacterial activity against drug-resistant pathogenic bacteriaMethods: In the present study, 19 soil samples were collected from different localities of Ad-Dawadmi, Saudi Arabia. Actinomycetes were isolated from these samples using serial dilution and plating method on Actinomycetes isolation agar supplemented with nalidixic acid and actidione to inhibit bacteria and fungi. Crude extracts of potential actinomycetes were produced by submerged fermentation. The antimicrobial activity of crude extracts of actinomycetes was tested against different bacteria using the agar well diffusion method. Characterization of the isolates was done by morphological, physiological and biochemical methods.Results: A total of 9 (47%) isolates of actinomycetes were isolated from 19 different soil samples tested. Among them, 4 (44%) isolates confirmed as Streptomyces sp. showed potential antimicrobial activity against one or more test organisms. Crude extracts were made from these 4 actinomycetes isolates(DOM1, DOM3, DP3, DP4)and tested for their antibacterial activities against 4 different clinical bacterial strains (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus). Crude extract from DP3 isolate showed highest antibacterial activity against all the four test organisms (28 mm, 21 mm, 20 mm and 18 mm) respectively and DP4 showed lowest antibacterial activity against all the four test organisms (14 mm, 12 mm, 0 mm, 6 mm) respectively. The highest zone of inhibition was shown by DP3 against Staphylococcus aureus (28 mm) and Escherichia coli was resistant for DP4. Most of the Inhibition zones produced by crude extracts showed significant differences when compared with control, tested against test organisms (P<0.05). Inhibition zones produced by DP3 and DOM1 against Staphylococcus aureus were 28 mm and 23 mm, respectively which were strong active when compared with control Ciprofloxacin (18 mm).Conclusion: Further studies for purification of bioactive metabolites and molecular characterization analysis of isolated Streptomyces sp. are in progress which would be helpful in discovering novel compounds of commercial value.

The aim of this study was to verify the possible interactions between ethanol extracts ofAmburana cearensisA. C. Smith andAnadenanthera macrocarpa(Benth.) Brenan, combined with six antimicrobial drugs against multiresistant strains ofStaphylococcus aureusandEscherichia coliisolated from humans. The antibacterial activity of the extracts was determined using the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). The microdilution assay was performed to verify the interactions between the natural products and the antibiotics using a subinhibitory concentration. The activity of amikacin associated with the extract ofAnadenanthera macrocarpaagainst EC 27 was enhanced, demonstrating an MIC reduction from 128 to 4 μg/mL. Among theβ-lactams, no potentiation on its activity was observed, with exception to the antagonism of the natural products with ampicillin againstS. aureus358.

Novel Antibiotics

Introduction: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is emerging at an alarming rate as mortality due to resistant pathogens could rise to 10 million per year by 2050. Since AMR is against all clinically utilized antibiotics, finding novel antimicrobials with unexploited targets remains the main goal worldwide.  Soil microorganisms produce natural products as a significant number of drugs in clinical use are derived from these metabolites. Actinomycetes and Myxobacteria are soil dwelling microorganisms that produce secondary metabolites to be screened for antibacterial activity. More than 80% of clinically utilized antibiotics are either natural products or natural product-derived molecules such as vancomycin, teicoplanin, daptomycin, and tetracycline. This study aims to isolate and identify novel antimicrobials from Actinomycetes and Myxobacteria. Methodology: Soil samples were collected from several areas in Lebanon. Samples were serially diluted for Actinomycetes isolation and boiled for Myxobacteria extraction, then plated on suitable media. Colonies obtained were purified and subjected to genomic DNA extraction then 16s rRNA analysis. Novel isolates were tested for their antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive Bacillus subtilis (ATCC 6051), Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 29213, Newman, N315), Enterococcus faecalis (ATCC 19433), and Enterococcus faecium (DSMZ 17050), and Gram-negative Escherichia coli (ATCC 9637), Klebsiella pneumoniae (DSMZ), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 27853, MEXAB), and Acinetobacter baumannii (ATCC 15308). Results: Strain isolation and cultivation yielded a number of novel isolates whose extracts demonstrated strong antibacterial activity against pathogens including MRSA, VRE, and Escherichia coli (ATCC 9637). Conclusion: Our efforts now focus on purifying these compounds, elucidate their structures and study their mode of action.

This thesis describes phytochemical studies on the methanolic extract of Curcuma longa; a medicinally important plant used as indigenous medicine for the treatment of wounds in South Asian and African countries. The crude extract displayed antibacterial activity against the Gram-positive bacterium, Staphylococcus aureus, but was inactive against Gram-positive bacterium Streptococcus agalactiae. This extract also did not show antibacterial activity against Gram-negative bacteria, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Based on the observed antibacterial activity, it was decided to carry out phytochemical investigation of crude methanolic extract of C. longa to isolate and characterize natural products and evaluate them for antimicrobial activity. These efforts resulted in the identification of three known natural products: curcumin (39) sclareolide (40) and atalantoflavone (41). Structures of these compounds were established with the aid of NMR spectroscopic studies. Compounds (40) and (41) have been isolated for the first time from this plant. Compounds (39-41) were found to be inactive against the Gram-positive bacterium, Staphylococcus aureus, and Gram-negative bacterium, Escherichia coli.

Fungal marine microorganisms are a valuable source of bioactive natural products. Fungal secondary metabolites mainly comprise alkaloids, terpenoids, peptides, polyketides, steroids, and lactones. Proteins and peptides from marine fungi show minimal human toxicity and less adverse effects comparable to synthetic drugs. This review summarizes the chemistry and the biological activities of peptides that were isolated and structurally elucidated from marine fungi. Relevant fungal genera including Acremonium, Ascotricha, Aspergillus, Asteromyces, Ceratodictyon, Clonostachys, Emericella, Exserohilum, Microsporum, Metarrhizium, Penicillium, Scytalidium, Simplicillium, Stachylidium, Talaromyces, Trichoderma, as well as Zygosporium were extensively reviewed. About 131 peptides were reported from these 17 genera and their structures were unambiguously determined using 1D and 2D NMR (one and two dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance) techniques in addition to HRMS (high resolution mass spectrometry). Marfey and Mosher reactions were used to confirm the identity of these compounds. About 53% of the isolated peptides exhibited cytotoxic, antimicrobial, and antiviral activity, meanwhile, few of them showed antidiabetic, lipid lowering, and anti-inflammatory activity. However 47% of the isolated peptides showed no activity with respect to the examined biological activity and thus required further in depth biological assessment. In conclusion, when searching for bioactive natural products, it is worth exploring more peptides of fungal origin and assessing their biological activities.
