“…The main reason for the resistance of the clinical isolates might be directly linked to the indiscriminate exposure of the clinical isolates to various antimicrobial agents. According to the Taiwo [27], several clinical isolates have effective antibiotic resistance mechanisms through the acquisition of resistant genes, production of enzymes (e.g., ß-lactamases), and efflux pumping of the drug out of the cell.…”

Objective. This study has investigated the antimicrobial activity of extracts of indigenous wild mushrooms against selected organisms. Methods. Thirty-five (35) indigenous wild mushrooms were collected from Arabuko-Sokoke and Kakamega National Reserve Forests, Kenya. All mushrooms were identified and their contents were extracted and screened for their antimicrobial activities against Escherichia coli (clinical isolate), Klebsiella pneumoniae (ATCC 13883), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (clinical isolate), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 27853), Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923), MRSA (ATCC 33591), Candida albicans (clinical isolate), and Candida parapsilosis (ATCC 90018) using tetrazolium microtiter plate bioassay method. Results. Of the 35 tested mushroom extracts, extracts of three (3) mushrooms, namely, Trametes spp. (Arabuko-Sokoke forest), Trametes, and Microporus spp. (Kakamega forest), have shown promising antimicrobial activities against the tested organisms. The S. aureus (ATCC 25923), P. aeruginosa (ATCC 27853), and Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) (ATCC 33591) were the most susceptible to chloroform extract of Trametes spp. collected from Arabuko-Sokoke forest. Of the tested organisms, S. aureus (ATCC 25923) was the most susceptible whereas E. coli was the most resistant organism to the hot water extract of Trametes spp. collected from Arabuko-Sokoke forest. Chloroform extract of Microporus spp. has shown the highest antibacterial activity against S. aureus (ATCC 25923), MRSA (ATCC 33591), and K. pneumoniae (ATCC 13883) but limited activity against E.coli. All extracts of the three wild mushrooms have shown the most antibacterial activities against S. aureus (ATCC 25923). Conclusion. The present study has shown that the extracts of the three wild mushrooms have shown promising antimicrobial activities against the tested organisms.

“…It is also known that mushrooms have strong antioxidant capacity in addition to their nutritional properties. Furthermore, mushrooms were reported to possess anticarcinogen, antimicrobial, DNA protective, anti-inflammatory and antiallergic effects in addition to their antioxidant properties (Park et al 2014, Akgül et al, 2016Lima et al 2016, Taofiq et al 2016, Yılmaz et al 2016, Sevindik et al 2017).…”

It is possible to classify mushrooms as edible, inedible and poisonous. The present study aimed to determine the antioxidant potential of Gyrodon lividus an edible mushroom species. Thus, total antioxidant status (TAS) and total oxidant status (TOS) of mushroom ethanol extracts were determined and oxidative stress index (OSI) was calculated based on TAS and TOS findings. Based on the study findings, the TAS value was 2.077±0.087, TOS value was 13.465±0.213 and OSI level was 0.651±0.037. Thus, it was suggested that the mushroom had antioxidant potential, however G. lividus collected in Burdur province should be consumed with care due to the high oxidative stress levels.

“…ing hospital acquired infections are now resistant to at least one drug used for treatment. 5 These medicine resistant infection is spreading devastatingly that it resulted about 700,000 deaths in last year and will cause more if left unaddressed. 6 Therefore, search for novel antimicrobial agent with acceptable efficacy and safety has emerged as one of the key strategies for the management of contagious diseases.…”

• Certain wild macrofungi are popular in indigenous people from time immemorial, although they are not even systematically investigated. Research on them may provide exciting evidences for use of such traditional treasures in favor of human as they have certain biological properties. In the present work, we have highlighted chemical composition and potential therapeutics of ethanol extract from Macrocybe lobayensis, a wild edible macrofungus. Our findings revealed that the fraction was effective against various pathogenic microorganisms and free radicals in in vitro system. Thus the present study demonstrated M. lobayensis as a source of active medicinal ingredients which would greatly inspire scientific world for its further application.
