Antimicrobial test of five ethnomedicinal plants in an ancestral forest area
The basic premise of this research was to assess the ethnomedicinal uses of plants in an ancestral forest area at Naawan, Misamis Oriental and determine its inhibition effect against bacterial strains. The assessment of plants was conducted using the transect-plot method. Ethnomedicinal uses and the mode of preparations were obtained using a semi-structured interview questionnaire. Five ethnome...
متن کاملA gratuitous inducer of cat-86, amicetin, inhibits bacterial peptidyl transferase.
Expression of the chloramphenicol resistance gene cat-86 is regulated by translation attenuation. Among the three ribosomally targeted antibiotics that can induce the gene, only amicetin has an unknown mode of action. Here we demonstrate that the nucleoside antibiotic amicetin is an inhibitor of bacterial peptidyl transferase. Thus, the three inducers of cat-86, chloramphenicol, erythromycin, a...

متن کاملManagement of Typhoid Fever and Bacterial Meningitis by Chloramphenicol in Infants and Children
Chloramphenicol inhibits protein synthesis in bacteria and is usually bacteriostatic but is bactericidal against Haemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Neisseria meningitis. Chloramphenicol penetrates all body tissues well. The cerebrospinal fluid concentration averages 60% of the serum level, while brain levels are 9 times higher because of high lipid solubility of this drug. Ch...
متن کاملMultidrug Resistance in Infants and Children
Bacterial infections may cause disease and death. Infants and children are often subject to bacterial infections. Antimicrobials kill bacteria protecting the infected patients andreducing the risk of morbidity and mortality caused by bacteria. The antibiotics may lose their antibacterial activity when they become resistant to a bacteria. The resistance to different antibiotics in a bacteria is ...
