“…Majority of studies conducted the search of compounds with antimicrobial properties have targeted plants with a history of ethno botanical uses (Janovska et al, 2003), most of the medicinal plant species screened in this study were previously been surveyed for antimicrobial activities on human pathogens. And very few citations were reported on phytopathogens (Kaushik and Arora, 2003;Jaspal singh and Tripathi, 1993;Krishna kishore and Suresh pande, 2005;Meena and Goplakrishnan, 2005).…”

“…There have been many ethnobotanically-directed searches for agents to treat infections. However, most studies focus on the bactericidal effects of the TCM used to treat infection (Janovska et al, 2003;Chan et al, 2008;Seneviratne et al, 2008). As seen from the present screening, the TCM herbs traditionally used in treatment of possible infections did not show as substantial bactericidal activity compared to QS inhibition, and it may be that as a consequence, many potentially useful TCM in evidence-based evaluations may have gone unnoticed.…”

Aims: Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been used for relief and treatment of ailments dating back thousands of years and continues to the present day, with rapidly increasing interest in evidence-based evaluation of its efficacy. Studies of TCM plants have demonstrated that several have antimicrobial properties but few have explored their antiquorum sensing potential. Quorum sensing (QS), also known as bacterial cell-to-cell communication, is used by a number of opportunistic pathogenic bacteria in the regulation of virulence expression. Compounds that interfere with QS signals and attenuate bacterial virulence without killing them may offer an alternative therapeutic solution with less pressure of antibiotic resistance developing. This study screened TCM plants for anti-quorum sensing properties and antimicrobial activities. Methodology and Results: Twenty TCM plants commonly used in South-East Asia were screened for QS inhibitors using two biomonitor strains, Chromobacterium violaceum CV026 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1. Ten of these selected TCM plant (50%) were found to have QS inhibitory properties: Angelica sinensis (Umbelliferae), Cnidium monnieri (Umbelliferae), Astragalus membranaceus (Leguminosae), Crataegus cuneata (Rosaceae), Dioscorea nipponica (Dioscoreaceae), Lilium brownii (Liliaceae), Aloe barbadensis (Liliaceae), Magnolia officinalis (Magnoliaceae), Ephedra sinica (Ephedraceae) and Panax pseudoginseng (Araliaceae). Of these, six (30%) also showed varying antimicrobial activity against C. violaceum and P. aeruginosa. Conclusion, significance and impact of study: The results suggest that traditional Chinese medicinal plants could be a prospective source to explore for useful compounds in the fight against bacterial infections.

“…Agar well diffusion method (Obeidat et al, 2012;Janovska et al, 2003) was applied for evaluation of antimicrobial activity of the leaves extracts of F. adenophylla. Each extract (10 mg) was dissolved in 1 mL of dimethyl sulfoxide to get a concentration of 10 mg/mL.…”

In the present study various solvent extracts from the leaves of Fernandoa adenophylla were screened for their phytochemical and antimicrobial potentials. Preliminary phytochemical screening of leaves extracts showed the presence of alkaloids, glycosides, flavonoids, terpenoids, tannins, steroids, reducing sugars and anthracenes. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic studies showed the presence of different functional groups for compounds like alcohol, aldehydes and ketones, saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons, amides, amines, carboxylic acids, esters, and ethers. All the extracts showed significant antibacterial activities when tested against eight multidrug resistant bacterial strains isolated from urinary tract infection patients. It was concluded that the leaves extracts of F. adenophylla have several vital phytochemical constituents and significant antibacterial activities against multidrug resistant bacterial strains causing urinary tract infections.
