Minimum Inhibitory and Bactericidal Concentrations of Theaflavin and Syngergistic Combinations with Epicatechin and Quercetin against Clinical Isolates of Stenotrophomonas Maltophilia
Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is an important nosocomial pathogen with intrinsic resistance to multiple antibiotics. Previous investigations have shown flavanols from black tea to possess antibacterial activity. This study describes the determination of minimum inhibitory concentrations and minimum bactericidal concentration for theaflavin independently and in formulations with the polyphenols e...
متن کاملAntifungal synergy of theaflavin and epicatechin combinations against Candida albicans.
New antifungal agents are required to compensate for the increase in resistance to standard antifungal agents of Candida albicans, which is an important opportunistic fungal pathogen that causes minor infections in many individuals but very serious infections in those who are immune-compromised. In this study, combinations of theaflavin and epicatechin are investigated as potential antifungal a...
متن کاملIn vitro and In vivo Activity of Theaflavin–Epicatechin Combinations versus Multidrug-Resistant Acinetobacter baumannii
INTRODUCTION Acinetobacter baumannii is an important human nosocomial pathogen; most clinical isolates are multidrug-resistant (MDR). Infections caused by A. baumannii often lead to high morbidity and mortality, with limited treatment options. Owing to the small number of anti-Gram-negative antibiotics in the development pipeline, researchers are looking to other natural compounds. The aim of t...

متن کاملAntibacterial Activity of Metal-loaded Natural Zeolite against Clinical Isolates of Acinetobacter Baumannii
The antibacterial activity of natural zeolite (CLI) containing 2.60 wt. % Cu 2+ (Cu-CLI) or 5.07 wt.% Ag + (Ag-CLI) were tested against clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii. A. baumannii belonging to the European clone I and II were isolated in Split University Hospital, Croatia. The isolate from clone II was more sensitive on the effect of the metalloaded zeolite than isolate of clone ...
