“…S. pyogenes produces, or at least have the potential to produce, a number of different proteolytic enzymes that can play important roles during infections [12]. Some medicinal plant extracts including, Helichrysum italicum and Nepeta cataria showed inhibitory effects on some bacterial enzymes that contribute to the pathogenic properties [19]. However, this present study revealed that the extract of B. pandurata at sub-inhibitory concentrations had no effect on the protease enzymes of S. pyogenes.…”

“…A previous study reported that the Sideritis species could be used as natural antimicrobial and antioxidant agents in food preservation and human health (Sagdic et al, 2008). Several studies suggested that Nepeta and Sideritis species have antimicrobial and antifungal activities (Diaz et al, 1988;Ezer and Abbasog lu, 1996;Nostro et al, 2001;Basile et al, 2006).

RESUMENCompuestos biológicos, capacidad atrapadora de radicales libres y actividad antimicrobiana de las semillas de Nepeta italica L. y Sideritis montana L. subsp. montana de Turquía.Este estudio ha determinado algunos compuestos bioló-gicos (ácidos grasos, vitaminas liposolubles, esteroles y flavonoides), capacidad atrapadora de radicales libres, y actividades antimicrobianas de las semillas de Nepeta italica L. y Sideritis montana L. subsp. montana. Se encontró que el áci-do palmítico (C16:0; 8.54±0.13-3.05±0.04%), ácido oleico (C18:1 n9, 22.41±0.8-18.83±0.1%) y α-linolénico (C18:3 n 3;39.56±0.67-77.04±2.07%) eran mayoritarios en ambas semillas de Nepeta italica L. y Sideritis montana L. subsp. montana. Además, se determinó que tanto Nepeta italica L. como Sideritis montana L. subsp. montana contenían estigmasterol (630.07±1.81μg/g; 80,74±0.71μg/g, respectivamente) y ergosterol (11.01±0.14 μg/g; 161.32±0.63 μg/g respectivamente) y esta última además beta-sitosterol (2.93±0.03μg/g). Además, los resultados muestran que Nepeta italica L. contiene morin (37.79±1.09μg/g), catequina (124.39±2.23μg/g) y naringina (475.96±3.57μg/g) y Sideritis montana L. subsp. montana contiene morin (188.41±2.53μg/g), catequina (64.14±1.86μg/g), naringenina (38.34±1.78 μg/g), como principales flavonoides. También, se determinó que los extractos metanólicos de Nepeta itálica L. y Sideritis montana L. subsp. montana fueron eficaces contra los radicales DPPH. Los resultados obtenidos en el presente estudio mostraron que las vitaminas, los flavonoides y los ácidos grasos de los extractos en las semillas de Nepeta itálica L. y Sideritis montana L. subsp. montana impidieron el crecimiento de los microorganismos utilizados en el ensayo, en diferentes proporciones. PALABRAS CLAVE: Ácidos grasos -Actividad antimicrobiana -DPPH radical scavenging actividad -Esteroles

“…Antibiotics that once readily cured a wide range of infections are becoming less valuable mainly due to their misuse and also the development of antibiotic resistance (Nostro et al 2001); therefore, there is a need to develop alternative antimicrobial drugs for the treatment of diseases from medicinal plant products Yildirim et al (2001). Although the different parts of a plant showed varying antimicrobial activity, in the case of A. benthamii, both aerial as well as root parts are being frequently used for treating some of the common prevailing diseases in Himalayan area (Kaul 1997;Dar and Khuroo 2013).…”

Background: Arnebia benthamii is one of the promising folklore medicinal plants which is being traditionally used over the years for the treatment of various prevailing diseases in the area. The aim of this research work was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity and antioxidant activity of methanolic plant extract. Methods: Antimicrobial activity of the plant extract (250-500 μg/ml concentration) was analyzed against Escherichia coli CD0006, Pseudomonas aeruginosa CD0023, Shigella flexneri CD0033, Klebsiella pneumonia CD0049, Salmonella typhimurium CD0003, Staphylococcus aureus CD0001, Aspergillus versicolor CDF0011, Candida albicans CDF0032, Candida kruesie CDF0016, Candida parapsilosis CDF0013, Aspergillus flavus CDF0024, and Acremonium spp. CDF0027. The free radical scavenging assay of the plant extracts was evaluated by various antioxidant methods.
