Abstract

The emergence of antimicrobial resistance to commonly used antibiotics has necessitated the development of new antimicrobial products. Crude extracts produced by actinomycetes contain antimicrobial metabolites that can inhibit bacterial growth. The objective of our study was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of crude extracts (Caat1-54 and CaatP5-8) produced by actinomycetes against isolates of Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus chromogenes, Streptococcus dysgalactiae, and Streptococcus uberis, which were obtained from the milk of cows affected by mastitis in 23 dairy herds. Twenty isolates of each bacterial species were used to define minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of both crude extracts and ceftiofur (positive control). The MIC50 and MIC90 were defined at the concentration required to inhibit the growth of 50 and 90% of bacterial isolates tested, respectively. The MIC results were evaluated by survival analysis. Staphylococcus aureus isolates presented MIC90 of Caat 1-54 ≥6.25 µg/mL, ceftiofur ≥12.5 µg/mL, and Caat P5-8 ≥100 µg/mL. Streptococcus uberis presented MIC90 of ceftiofur ≥0.39 µg/mL, Caat 1-54 ≥50 µg/mL, and Caat P5-8 ≥100 µg/mL. Staphylococcus chromogenes isolated from subclinical mastitis presente...Continue Reading

Antifungals (ASM)

An antifungal, also known as an antimycotic medication, is a pharmaceutical fungicide or fungistatic used to treat and prevent mycosis such as athlete's foot, ringworm, candidiasis, cryptococcal meningitis, and others. Discover the latest research on antifungals here.

CRISPR & Staphylococcus

CRISPR-Cas system enables the editing of genes to create or correct mutations. Staphylococci are associated with life-threatening infections in hospitals, as well as the community. Here is the latest research on how CRISPR-Cas system can be used for treatment of Staphylococcal infections.
