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

Antifouling potentials of mangrove Rhizophora apiculata against Vibrio alginolyticus strain VBM-01.
TL;DR: The broad antifouling properties of the chloroform extracts of Rhizophora apiculata inhibit the growth of pioneering marine biofouling bacteria.
Pharmacochemical characterisation and in vitro antibacterial activity of leaf of sesuvium portulacastrum. l (aizoaceae)
TL;DR: The pharmacochemical characterisation and in vitro antibacterial activity of the leaf of Sesuvium portulacastrum and preliminary phytochemical screening of leaf showed the presence of alkaloid, catechin, coumarin, flavonoid, phenol, steroid, tannins, terpenoid, xanthoprotein, and sugar in the methanol and ethanol extracts.

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.
