Stingless bees belong to the Meliponini tribe and are widely distributed in tropics subtropics, where they perform important ecological services. Among best groups of stingless is genus Scaptotrigona, which includes 22 species throughout neotropical region, including area from Mexico Argentina. Bees this responsible for production products such as honey, propolis, geopropolis fermented pollen ("saburá"). This review aimed provide an overview chemical composition biological activities...
The antibacterial activity and efflux pump reversal of thymol carvacrol were investigated against the Staphylococcus aureus IS-58 strain in this study, as well their toxicity Drosophila melanogaster. minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined using broth microdilution method, while inhibition assessed by reduction antibiotic ethidium bromide (EtBr) MICs. D. melanogaster tested fumigation method. Both presented activities with MICs 72 256 µg/mL, respectively. association between...
The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) is used to define the lowest at which a substance can inhibit bacterial growth. This study aimed evaluate MIC of pyrogallol against Staphylococcus aureus and propose method for building growth inhibition curves strains from assays. S. 1199B (NorA) 1199 (wild type) were Pyrogallol tests performed by broth microdilution method. proposed uses RGB images plate using R (Red), G (Green), B (Blue) channels extract information construction curve (GIC)....
The Gram-positive bacterium Staphylococcus aureus is responsible for a number of infections and has been described to exhibit resistance antibacterial drugs through different mechanisms. Among these, active efflux shown be one the main mechanisms bacterial associated with S. aureus. In this sense, aim present study was evaluate ability ellagic acid gallic reverse by inhibiting pumps in strains IS-58 K2068, which express TetK MepA flux pumps, respectively. addition, toxicity both compounds...
Efflux pumps are transmembrane proteins that expel drugs out of a bacterial cell contributing to microorganism drug resistance. Several studies addressing the use natural products with medicinal properties have intensified given above. Thus, aim present study was investigate antibacterial activity and O-eugenol potential in Staphylococcus aureus resistance reversal by efflux pump inhibition, as well evaluate its toxicity Drosophila melanogaster arthropod model. The broth microdilution method...
This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activity against multi-drug-resistant strains carrying efflux pumps and assess their toxicity on Drosophila melanogaster Aedes aegypti models. Microdilution tests in broth were performed determine Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC). The pump inhibition was evaluated by analyzing reduction antibiotic MIC Ethidium Bromide (EtBr) when combined with products. Mortality assay negative geotaxis conducted D. specimens, insecticidal assays A....
To identify the main chemical classes of compounds from aqueous extract Enterolobium contortisiliquum (E. contortisiliquum) seed bark and to evaluate its antibacterial activity, as well potential increase activity antibiotics against strains Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa Escherichia coli. Different in E. were evaluated based on visual changes coloration formation precipitate after addition specific reagents. The antibiotic drugs, gentamicin norfloxacin was determined by using...
Bacterial resistance is interfering with the action of antibiotics for clinical use in treating pathologies. The search new substances capable combating this necessary. An alternative to these extract medicinal plants. Plathymenia reticulata, plant Fabaceae family, a common tree species from Brazilian cerrado, and commonly used areas environmental degradation. This rich phenolic compounds, such as flavonoids tannins, compounds that are associated various biological effects. A hydroethanolic...
Bacteria are associated with many infections that affect humans and present antibiotic resistance mechanisms, causing problems in health organisations increased mortality rates. Therefore, it is necessary to find new antibacterial agents can be used the treatment of these microorganisms. Geopropolis a natural product from stingless bees, formed by mixture plant resins, salivary secretions, wax soil particles, chemical composition this diverse. Thus, study aimed evaluate activity, modulation...
Azadirachta indica A. Juss, is a large tree, native to India and Meliaceae family, has in its phytochemical constitution many phenolic compounds, several of parts have been used for medicinal purposes as antifungal, antibacterial antidiabetic. The objective was define the profile ethanolic extract leaves (EEAi) determine toxicity Drosophila melanogaster model. quantification chemical constituents done by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) evaluate model D. melanogaster, where it...
