dc.description.abstract | Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has developed as
one of the top 10 global public health threats
facing humanity. As the nosocomial bacterial
strains are being increasingly resistant to most
clinically available antibiotics, there is a constant
need for exploration of new substances
that could kill them or inhibit their growth, or
alternatively inhibit some of their essential virulence
factors to counteract the lack of new antibacterials
and the rise of antibiotic resistance,
plants could represent a potential solution.
Plants produce a variety of bioactive secondary
metabolites that could be used to fuel the future
discovery pipeline. Aim of the present study was
to examine inhibitory activity of the supercritical
extract of J. communis L. green pseudofructus
(7SCO2) against the growth, biofilm production
and several virulence factors of significant nosocomial
bacterial pathogens. The extract was
obtained by fractional extraction with supercritical
CO2, and the qualitative and quantitative
analysis was performed using the GC-FID/MS
method. Clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Acinetobacter baumannii, Staphylococcus
aureus (methicillin-sensitive-MSSA and methicillin-
resistant - MRSA), Enterococcus faecalis, and
Klebsiella pneumoniae, as well as their antibiotic
resistance profiles, were obtained from the Clinical
Hospital Centre “Dr Dragiša Mišović Dedinje”.
Minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of
the 7SCO2 were determined by broth-microdilution
method. Examination of the anti-adhesive
effect of the extract was carried out using the
spectrophotometric method. The pyocyanin
production of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was determined
by the method described by Rampioni
et al. Most significant findings of this study
are potent antivirulence activity of the 7SCO2
against P. aeruginosa through the inhibition of
pyocyanin production. In addition, the biofilm
production of A. baumannii was inhibited by the
7SCO2 in concentration 50 μg/mL. Finally, notable
antivirulence activity of the 7SCO2 against
E. faecalis and S. aureus was detected, since it
significantly inhibited collagen and laminin adhesion
of these pathogens. | sr |
