Antimicrobial activity against Proteus vulgaris

The methanol extract of the campsite plant Xanthium strumarium (Cocklebur) displayed antimicrobial activity against Proteus vulgaris. Staphylococcus aureus. Bacillus subtilis, Candida albicans and Candida pseudotropicalis [170]. This activity was attributable to the presence of the sesquiterpene xanthanol. [Pg.475]

Tested with a variety of antimicrobial drugs, reishi showed antagonistic activity with ampicillin and cefazo-lin against Proteus vulgaris, but no antagonistic effects were observed with the drugs oxytetracycline or chloramphenicol, or in tested species of Bacillus, Staphylococcus, Escherichia, Klebsiella, or Salmonella (Yoon et al. 1994).

Acetone, diethyl ether, and ethanol extracts of the lichen Cetraria aculeata for their antimicrobial activity have been evaluated. The extracts were found active against Escherichia coli. Staphylococcus aureus, Aeromonas hydrophila, Proteus vulgaris. Streptococcus faecalis, Bacillus cereus. Bacillus subtilis. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Listeria monocytogenes. However, no antimicrobial activity against the fungi was detected (Tiirk et al. 2003). The lichen extract almost... [Pg.89]

Other reported activities include claims of hypoglycemic activity of leaf extracts and stevioside in animals or humans however, follow-up studies have failed to support a hypoglycemic effect. Weak antimicrobial activity of unidentified fractions has been reported against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Proteus vulgaris ... [Pg.577]
