Antimycobacterial susceptibility testing methods for natural products research

Abstract: The emergence of multidrug-resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis underscores the need of continuous developments on new and efficient methods to determine the susceptibility of isolates of M. tuberculosis in the search for novel antimicrobial agents. Natural products constitute an important source of new drugs, but design and implementation of antimycobacterial susceptibility testing methods are necessary for evaluate the different extracts and compounds. A number of biological assay methodologies ar… Show more

“…Even the pharmaceutical industry prefers the development of antibiotics with ≤ 2 µg/mL. Minimum bactericidal activity is greater than MIC value, because the KHM value obtained in this study was 450 µg/mL (or greater than 100 µg/ mL), then the MIC was not determined (Sanchez and Kouznetsov, 2010;Levison and Levison, 2009). …”

“…This charge also influences the biological activity of nanoparticles in bacterial cell membranes, which are negatively charged (Qi et al, 2004). For that reason, paper disk diffusion bioassays as well as agar diffusion assays are not described because of the difficulties of diffusion of compounds through agar medium and the disadvantages with these platforms being adapted to a system of high-throughput screening (Burygin et al, 2009;Sánchez and Kouznetsov, 2010;Allahverdiyev et al, 2011;Elkhair, 2014). …”
