Antibacterial Activity of Metal-loaded Natural Zeolite against Clinical Isolates of Acinetobacter Baumannii
نویسندگان
چکیده
The antibacterial activity of natural zeolite (CLI) containing 2.60 wt. % Cu 2+ (Cu-CLI) or 5.07 wt.% Ag + (Ag-CLI) were tested against clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii. A. baumannii belonging to the European clone I and II were isolated in Split University Hospital, Croatia. The isolate from clone II was more sensitive on the effect of the metalloaded zeolite than isolate of clone I. The antibacterial activity can be ascribed to the metal ions inside the zeolite lattice since the natural zeolite itself does not show antibacterial activity toward the studied bacterial strains.

The aim of this research was to test the antibacterial activity of Pinus pinaster aqueous bark extract (PABE) and its basic components against multidrug-resistant isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii belonging to European clone I and II, isolated previously from the clinical outbreaks. The minimum bactericidal concentration of PABE against both clones of A. baumannii was 200 mg ml–1, while lower...

We investigated the in vitro activity of DS-8587, a novel fluoroquinolone, against Acinetobacter baumannii. The MICs of DS-8587 against clinical isolates and its inhibitory activity against target enzymes were superior to those of ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin. Furthermore, the antibacterial activity of DS-8587 was less affected by adeA/adeB/adeC or abeM efflux pumps than was that of ciproflox...

Background: Acinetobacter baumannii is an opportunistic pathogen and a nosocomial infection agent. Antibiotic resistance in this organism results in serious health problem such as treatment failure and increased mortality. Mangrove plants, especially Avicennia marina, are a potential bioresource for new drugs as they have been used in traditional medicine. This study aimed to investigate antib...
