Antimicrobial and cytotoxic comparative study of different extracts of Omani and Sudanese Gum acacia

Comparative study of antidiabetic, bactericidal, and antitumor activities of MEL@AgNPs, MEL@ZnONPs, and Ag–ZnO/MEL/GA nanocomposites prepared by using MEL and gum arabic

“…80,81 Furthermore, the gum arabic shows antibacterial activity against E. coli due to the phytochemical materials. 82 In addition to these, MEL has been demonstrated antimicrobial activity especially against Gram-positive bacteria. 83 Interestingly, other studies have veri-ed the improved antibacterial actions of NPs synthesized by using surfactants, e.g., Tween 80, CTAB, SDS, and polymers, e.g., PVP 360.…”

MAPLE Coatings Embedded with Essential Oil-Conjugated Magnetite for Anti-Biofilm Applications

“…Given the actual context of alarming increasing prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria [ 11 , 12 ], particular attention was oriented on developing new antimicrobial formulations. For example, extracts of acacia gum [ 13 , 14 ], cinnamon [ 15 , 16 ], clove [ 17 , 18 ], cumin [ 19 , 20 ], lavender [ 21 , 22 ], oregano [ 23 , 24 ], rosemary [ 25 , 26 ], sage [ 27 , 28 ], tea tree [ 29 , 30 ] and thyme [ 31 , 32 ] were reported as promising alternatives to combat the growth of planktonic microorganisms, as well as the formation and development of bacterial biofilms.…”

Antibacterial properties of traditional Sudanese medicinal materials against selected enteric bacterial strains

“…Available literature shows that no earlier study has been performed on the antibacterial characters of A.nilotica gum until 2013.Study of methanolic extract of A. nilotica revealed moderate antibacterial effect (14-18 mm) against E. coli (ATCC 25922);aqueous extracts of A. nilotica had no effects of antibacterial characters against all tested bacteria (Mahjoub, 2013). Studies of antimicrobial evaluation of different extracts of A.nilotica revealed high (˃18 mm) to modrate (14-18 mm) activity for different extracts which consider a good source of natural antibiotic for the therapy of different transmittable diseases (Sravani et al,2014;Banjar et al, 2017;Al Alawi et al, 2018;Shehu et al, 2018;Ali et al, 2020). Ethanolic extracts of 8 species of R.minima were investigated for their antibacterial activity and phytochemical screening against clinical isolates (B.subtilis,E.coli, P.aeruginosa and S.aureus); they showed equal or nearly equal antibacterial characters against all tested bacteria (El-Kamali and El-Amir, 2010).The essential oils of R.minima exhibited antioxidant and antimicrobial activities against E. coli, S aureus and C. albicans, but not active against C. perfringens and K. pneomoniae (Gundidza et al, 2009).…”
