Wild mushroom extracts potentiate the action of standard antibiotics against multiresistant bacteria.
AIMS The main objective of this study was to evaluate the capacity of wild mushroom extracts to potentiate the action of standard antibiotics, through synergisms that allow a decrease in their therapeutic doses and ultimately contribute to the reduction of resistances. METHODS AND RESULTS Wild mushroom extracts were applied to different multiresistant micro-organisms (Escherichia coli, extend...
متن کاملAntimicrobial activity of wild mushroom extracts against clinical isolates resistant to different antibiotics.
AIMS This work aimed to screen the antimicrobial activity of aqueous methanolic extracts of 13 mushroom species, collected in Bragança, against several clinical isolates obtained in Hospital Center of Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro, Portugal. METHODS AND RESULTS Microdilution method was used to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC...
متن کاملWild Mushroom Extracts as Inhibitors of Bacterial Biofilm Formation
Microorganisms can colonize a wide variety of medical devices, putting patients in risk for local and systemic infectious complications, including local-site infections, catheter-related bloodstream infections, and endocarditis. These microorganisms are able to grow adhered to almost every surface, forming architecturally complex communities termed biofilms. The use of natural products has been...
متن کاملSynergistic interaction of Helichrysum pedunculatum leaf extracts with antibiotics against wound infection associated bacteria.
The effect of combinations of the crude methanolic extract of the leaves of Helichrysum pedunculatum and eight first-line antibiotics were investigated by time kill assays against a panel of bacterial strains that have been implicated in wound infections. The plant extract showed appreciable antibacterial activities against the test bacteria with zones of inhibition ranging between 18 and 27 mm...
متن کاملTigecycline: a new antimicrobial agent against multiresistant bacteria
10.2217/14750708.4.3.255 © 2 Tigecycline (Tygacil®, Wyeth Pharmaceuticals) is a glycylcycline that is active against many aerobic and anaerobic Gram-positive and -negative microorganisms, atypical microorganisms and rapidly growing mycobacteria. It binds to the bacterial 30S ribosomal subunit and blocks entry of amino-acyl transfer RNA molecules into the A site. Tigecycline evades acquired effl...
