Bactericidal effect of bacteria isolated from the marine sponges Hymeniacidon perlevis and Halichondria panicea against carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii
Abstract:Aims
In this study, we evaluate the antimicrobial activity of bacteria isolated from marine sponges Hymeniacidon perlevis and Halichondria panicea against clinically relevant carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAb) isolates.
Methods and results
We observe the inhibitory activity of 18 (out of 114) sponge-isolated bacterial strains using medium throughput solid agar overlay assays. These strains belong to the genera Lactococcus, Pseudomonas and Vagococcus. In addition, this antimicrobial activity is… Show more
