Antibacterial activity of some salt marsh halophytes and mangrove plants against methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus
TLDR
The antibacterial activity of aqueous and methanol extracts of leaves/shoots of five salt marsh halophytes and six mangroves was studied against methicillin resistant, clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus and further separation of active principle from the potent mangrove plant will be useful for the control of drug resistant strains.Abstract:
The antibacterial activity of aqueous and methanol extracts of leaves/shoots of five salt marsh halophytes and six mangroves was studied against methicillin resistant, clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus. There was a clear comparability between the salt marsh halophytes and mangroves in their antibacterial action. The mangrove plants possessed higher antibacterial potency than the salt marsh halophytes. The highest activity was recorded with the methanol extract of Excoecaria agallocha followed by the methanol extracts of Aegiceras corniculatum, Lumnitzera racemosa and Ceriops decandra. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values ranged from 0.125 to 4 mg/mL and 1 to 16 mg/mL for methanol and aqueous extracts, respectively. Further separation of active principle from the potent mangrove plant will be useful for the control of drug resistant strains of S. aureus.read more

Antibacterial Activity of some Medicinal Mangroves against Antibiotic Resistant Pathogenic Bacteria.
TL;DR: The antibacterial activity of the leaves and bark of mangrove plants, Avicennia marina, A. racemosa and A. marina gave the best inhibition for bacterial species, they were used for further investigations and revealed that leaf and bark contained alkaloids, steroids, triterpenoids and flavonoids.

Antibiotic susceptibility testing by a standardized single disk method.
TL;DR: Recommendations of the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards continue to be based on this publication; the “Kirby-Bauer” method is, among the many disk methods used in other countries, still the one that has been researched most thoroughly and updated continuously.
