Antibacterial effects of herbal extracts and their combinations with antibiotics in relation to extensively antibiotic-resistant microorganisms

https://doi.org/10.21626/vestnik/2018-1/12

Abstract

Minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 17 officinal aqueous medicinal herbal extracts in regard to antibiotic-sensitive and extensively antibiotic-resistant P. aeruginosa and A. baumannii isolates were determined. The expressed antibacterial activity (MIC < 1 mg/mL) was found for aqueous cowberry ( Vaccinium vitis-idaea ), eucalyptus ( Eucalyptus viminalis ), oak ( Quercus robur ), and bearberry ( Arctostaphylos uva-ursi ) extracts. Aqueous herbal extracts did not influence significantly the antibacterial activity of aminoglycosides, carbapenems and fluoroquinolones during their combined action on a microbial cell. A universal dose-dependent antagonistic effect of herbal extracts on the colistin microbiological efficacy in relation to A. baumannii and P. aeruginosa was revealed. A synergistic antibacterial effect (SFIC 0.25-0.50) of the combination of aqueous eucalyptus extract with the ceftazidime against 29.2% of OXA-carbapenemase producing A. baumannii strains was detected.
