Enhancement of the Antibiotic Activity against a Multiresistant Escherichia coli by Mentha arvensis L. and Chlorpromazine

TL;DR: It is suggested that extracts from M. arvensis could be used as a source of plant-derived natural products with resistance-modifying activity, such as in the case of gentamicin, constituting a new weapon against bacterial resistance to antibiotics, as with chlorpromazine.
Journal ArticleDOI

In vitro anti-staphylococcal activity of Hyptis martiusii Benth against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus: MRSA strains

TL;DR: It is suggested that extracts from H. martiusii could be used as an anti-Staphylococcus agent, being a promising antibacterial agent.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of temperature and surface kind on biofilm formation by Staphylococcus aureus from food-contact surfaces and sensitivity to sanitizers

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assessed the adhesion, detachment kinetic and biofilm formation of Staphylococcus aureus isolates from food services surfaces on stainless steel and polypropylene surfaces when cultivated in a vegetable-based broth at 7 and 28°C, and the efficacy of peracetic acid and sodium hypochlorite in removing the bacterial cells from the matrix of the preformed biofilm.
Journal ArticleDOI

Atividade antimicrobiana do extrato de Anacardium occidentale Linn. em amostras multiresistentes de Staphylococcus aureus

TL;DR: The use of Anacardium occidentale Linn in the region can infer a low cost and efficient therapeutical alternative against bacterial infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modulation of drug resistance in Staphylococcus aureus by a kaempferol glycoside from Herissantia tiubae (Malvaceae).

TL;DR: The results presented here represent the first report of a kaempferol glycoside as a putative efflux pump inhibitor in bacteria, and indicates that H. tiubae (and broadly Malvaceae) could serve as a source of plant‐derived natural products that modulate bacterial resistance, i.e. a sources of potential adjuvants of antibiotics.
