Abstract Antimicrobial drug resistance is a challenge to public health. Various microorganisms, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Pseudomonas aeruginosa, carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pythium insidiosum, and Candida auris, have developed commonly used antimicrobials in infection disease treatments. Consequently, there an urgent need explore develop novel therapeutic drugs. Natural products, particularly medicinal plants, received attention the...
Natural products represent important sources of antimicrobial compounds. Propolis and compounds from essential oils comprise good examples such substances because their inhibitory effects on bacterial spores, including bee pathogens.Ethanol extracts propolis (EEP) Apis mellifera were prepared using different methods: double ultrasonication, maceration associated with ultrasonication. Together the peptides nisin melittin, present in clove (Syzygium aromaticum) cinnamon (Cinnamomum...
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) often cause infections with high mortality rates. Antimicrobial peptides are a source of molecules for developing antimicrobials; one such peptide is melittin, fraction from the venom Apis mellifera bee. This study aimed to evaluate antibacterial and antibiofilm activities melittin its association oxacillin (mel+oxa) against MRSA isolates, investigate mechanisms action treatments on MRSA. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) were...
