“…Potential MIC values were also exhibited (15.62 -500 μg/mL) by the wood extracts against several bacteria. [48] Fresh leaves of Lumnitzera racemosa showed more inhibitory activity than dried leaves against several bacteria. [52] In similar studies, they also reported the inhibition efficacy of ethanol extract over the aqueous extract.…”

“…However, several significant activities were also evidenced for the extracts from stem, bark, and wood. [48] Anil Kumar et al [49] reported the antifungal activity by the chloroform extract against Pythium aphanidematum, Rhizoctonia solani, Pyricularia oryzae, Curvularia oryzae, and Fusarium oxysporum. Methanol, ethanol, and aqueous extracts exhibited significant activities against several drugresistant pathogens.…”

Bhitarkanika National Park is the second largest contiguous mangrove forest of India. Approximately 0.15 million mangrove depending population are found residing in and around 307 villages within the National Park. Despite being one of the most diverse mangrove habitations of India, the ethnopharmacological practices are meager in comparison to the other mangrove regions of India and Southeast Asia. The present review is aimed to congregate information on the therapeutic potential and ethnopharmacology of nine dominant mangrove species of the National Park, such as Aegiceras corniculatum, Avicenia marina, Avicenia officinalis, Ceriops decandra, Excoecaria agallocha, Heritiera fomes, Lumnitzera racemosa, Rhizophora mucronata, and Sonneratia apetala. Our aim is to generate social awareness among the mangrove dwellers to promote uses of folklore medicine using these tremendously potential mangrove plants, as a complementary step to strengthen community health. Further, we also want to grab the attention of researchers working in related disciplines, for their holistic and extensive studies towards bio-prospectation of the dominant mangrove plants of Bhitarkanika National Park.

“…Diterpenes are often liposoluble, explaining perhaps the suppression of a broad-spectrum of bacteria and fungi including B . pumilus with a MIC value of 15.6 µg/mL by the benzene extract of the wood of C. decandra [ 94 ]. The presence of tannins and phenolics most probably account for the antiviral effects observed in B. cylindrica , Rhizophora mucronata Lam., R. apiculata , B. gymnorhiza [ 72 ], C. decandra [ 68 ].…”

Antimicrobial Secondary Metabolites from the Mangrove Plants of Asia and the Pacific

et al. 2022

Microbes such as the White Spot Syndrome Virus account for severe losses in the shrimp farming industry globally. This review examines the literature on the mangrove plants of Asia and the Pacific with antibacterial, antifungal, or antiviral activities. All of the available data published on this subject were collected from Google Scholar, PubMed, Science Direct, Web of Science, ChemSpider, PubChem, and a library search from 1968 to 2022. Out of about 286 plant species, 119 exhibited antimicrobial effects, and a total of 114 antimicrobial natural products have been identified including 12 with MIC values below 1 µg/mL. Most of these plants are medicinal. The mangrove plants of Asia and the Pacific yield secondary metabolites with the potential to mitigate infectious diseases in shrimp aquaculture.

Prospects for the Use of New Technologies to Combat Multidrug-Resistant Bacteria

2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The increasing use of antibiotics is being driven by factors such as the aging of the population, increased occurrence of infections, and greater prevalence of chronic diseases that require antimicrobial treatment. The excessive and unnecessary use of antibiotics in humans has led to the emergence of bacteria resistant to the antibiotics currently available, as well as to the selective development of other microorganisms, hence contributing to the widespread dissemination of resistance genes at the environmental level. Due to this, attempts are being made to develop new techniques to combat resistant bacteria, among them the use of strictly lytic bacteriophage particles, CRISPR–Cas, and nanotechnology. The use of these technologies, alone or in combination, is promising for solving a problem that humanity faces today and that could lead to human extinction: the domination of pathogenic bacteria resistant to artificial drugs. This prospective paper discusses the potential of bacteriophage particles, CRISPR–Cas, and nanotechnology for use in combating human (bacterial) infections.
