“…We showed the efficiency of the use of conifer needles as a phytoenergetic additive in veterinary [2]; of the antimicrobial activity of chlorophilippin (5% alcohol solution), received from the gummy mass of green pigments of conifer needles of Pinus sylvestris [3]. To date, the antimicrobial properties against opportunistic strains have been shown for Calendula officinalis, roots of Cichorium intybus and leaves of Portulaca oleracea [4]; some of the medicinal plants growing in India (Justicia adhatoda, Zingiber offcininale, Allium sativum, Embilica officinalis, Lawsonia inermis, Ocimum sanctum, Myristica fragrans, Rauwolfia serpentine, Lawsonia inermis) [5]; the antimicrobial activities of Artemisia plant extracts against oral pathogens [6], and antibacterial activity of Inula viscosa L. and Aloysia citriodora Palau A. against Gram-positive bacteria such as B. subtilis and S. aureus [7] have been established. The multi-factorial character of the influence of medicinal plants upon organism shows their potential as a source of substances with antimicrobial activity upon extra-antibiotic-resistant microorganisms.…”

Over the past years there has been a growing interest to vegetable raw materials evaluated from the viewpoint of their potential antimicrobial activity. Vaccinium genus plants are known to contain a whole spectrum of biologically active substances with anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, gene-protective, antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. The purpose of the work was to study the antimicrobial, antioxidant and some biochemical properties of alcoholic extracts of fruit and leaves of Vaccinium vitis-idaea L., gathered in the Ukrainian Carpathians. Methods. The plants for the study were gathered around the village of Pylypets, Mizhhiria rayon, Zakarpatska oblast (Transcarpathia). From the fruit and leaves, ethyl and methyl extracts were produced. The subjects for study were their antioxidant activity (by DPPH method), total tannin and flavonoids (by spectrophotometric method), and antimicrobial activity (by diffusion-into-agar method). For the purpose of study, type and clinical isolates were used from the oral cavity of human patients suffering from inflammatory diseases of periodontium, characterized by wide resistance spectrum to antibiotics. Results. The reviewed extracts were observed to have a higher antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria. The highest antimicrobial activity was shown by the extract of Vaccinium vitis-idaea L. fruit. Its antimicrobial activity was registered upon both test and clinical isolates of S.aureus, including methicillin-resistant ones. The ethyl fruit extract and methanol leaf extract were established to show high antimicrobial effect upon S.pyogenes. The ethanol fruit and leaf extracts and methanol fruit extract were observed to show weak antimycotic activity. The extracts were characterized by high antioxidant activity, with the highest effect peculiar for ethyl leaf and fruit extracts, and somewhat lower one for methyl extracts. The ethanol fruit extract was characterized by the highest tannin level out of all extracts under review. Conclusions. The antimicrobial and high antioxidant activity of the ethanol extract of Vaccinium vitis-idaea L. fruit and leaves, and absence of the antimicrobial effect against the probiotic strain of Lactobacillus plantarum, characterized by the antagonistic activity against opportunistic microorganisms, cause the advisability of their complex application as the basis for phytobiotics.
