“…Drug-resistant bacterial infection treatment has been stimulated by investigations on natural compounds as alternative medicine (Abu-Shanab et al, 2004;Adwan and Mhanna, 2008;Denis et al, 2009). In the present study, analyses of growth inhibition activity performed by using the well diffusion method showed that all the tested plants, which are commonly used by traditional medical practitioners, exhibited moderate activity against clinical isolates of bacterial strains at extract concentrations of 1 mg/ml Nitta et al, 2002;Voravuthikunchai and Kitpipit, 2005).…”

Dendrobium species are widely used in traditional medicine as remedies for tonic to nourish the stomach, promote the production of body fluids and decrease fever. In this study, the antibacterial activities of four traditionally used Dendrobium species were tested against clinically isolated multiple drug resistant (MDR) bacteria. Hexane, chloroform, acetone, ethanol and methanol extracts of Dendrobium amoenum, Dendrobium crepidatum, Dendrobium moniliforme and Dendrobium longicornu were tested for antibacterial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhi and Acinetobacter baumannii by using the well diffusion method. Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) and minimum bactericidal concentrations (MBCs) were determined using the serial dilution method. For D. amoenum, hexane, chloroform and acetone extracts showed antibacterial activity against S. aureus (ZOI: 11.33, 12.00 and 11.00 mm respectively), acetone extract against A. baumannii (ZOI: 13.00 mm) and methanol extract against P. aeruginosa (ZOI: 12.00 mm). For D. crepidatum, hexane, chloroform, acetone, ethanol and methanol extracts showed antibacterial activity against S. typhi (ZOI: 10.00, 11.67, 12.00, 9.67 and 12.67 mm respectively), hexane, ethanol and methanol extracts against P. aeruginosa (ZOI: 10.00, 9.67 and 15.00 mm respectively), choloroform and acetone extracts against S. aureus (ZOI: 9.67 mm) and ethanol extract against E. coli (ZOI: 11.00 mm). For D. moniliforme, chloroform extract showed antibacterial activity against K. pneumoniae, P. aeruginosa, S. typhi, A. baumannii (ZOI: 12.67, 12.00, 11.67 and 13.00 mm respectively), acetone extract against S. aureus (ZOI: 11.00 mm) and A. baumannii (ZOI: 12.67 mm). For D. longicornu, chloroform extract showed antibacterial activity against A. baumannii (ZOI: 12.00 mm). MIC and MBC of these extracts of plants showed they have moderate antibacterial activity against the bacterial strains used. In conclusion, these Dendrobium species can be used as antibiotic agents.

“…MDRO are regarded as a potentially serious threat to elderly people living in long-term care facilities (LTCFs). Although various studies on the prevalence of MRSA in LTCFs in Germany [7][8][9][10][11][12][13] and other European countries [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] have been published (< 1% in the Netherlands and Sweden, > 20% in Ireland and the United Kingdom (UK)), studies on the prevalence of MRGN such as extended-spectrum betalactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) among nursing home residents in German and in European LTCFs are scarce [7,14,24,26,27]. Although an increasing trend in the occurrence of ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae and even CRO is found in hospitals all over Europe [1,3,28,29], a lack of knowledge on multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO) in nursing homes has to be stated.…”

Multidrug-resistant organisms (MDRO) and in particular multidrug-resistant Gram-negative organisms (MRGN) are an increasing problem in hospital care. However, data on the current prevalence of MDRO in long-term care facilities (LTCFs) are rare. To assess carriage rates of MDRO in LTCF residents in the German Rhine-Main region, we performed a point prevalence survey in 2013. Swabs from nose, throat and perineum were analysed for meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), perianal swabs were analysed for extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing organisms, MRGN and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE). In 26 LTCFs, 690 residents were enrolled for analysis of MRSA colonisation and 455 for analysis of rectal carriage of ESBL/MRGN and VRE. Prevalences for MRSA, ESBL/MRGN and VRE were 6.5%, 17.8%, and 0.4%, respectively. MRSA carriage was significantly associated with MRSA history, the presence of urinary catheters, percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy tubes and previous antibiotic therapy, whereas ESBL/ MRGN carriage was exclusively associated with urinary catheters. In conclusion, this study revealed no increase in MRSA prevalence in LTCFs since 2007. In contrast, the rate of ESBL/MRGN carriage in German LTCFs was remarkably high. In nearly all positive residents, MDRO carriage had not been known before, indicating a lack of screening efforts and/or a lack of information on hospital discharge.
