Maia, Rodrigo Rafael; Pereira, Andréia Vieira; Góis, Marcelo Biondaro; Souza, Karine Delgado; Cavalcanti-Dantas, Vanessa de MeloEmergence of bacterial infections, including those associated with Staphylococcus aureus, brings up a need for searching new and more effective strategies for clinical treatment. The use of medicinal plants associated with conventional antibiotics may represent a therapeutic option. Currently, studies evidence the synergistic effect achieved by combining plant extracts with antibiotics. Our objective was evalua...
Tannins: main component of the extract Piptadenia stipulacea (Benth) Ducke inhi...
Cavalcanti-Dantas, Vanessa de Melo; Medeiros, Kézya Lopes de; Azevêdo, Tatiane Kelly Barbosa de; Santana, Gregório Mateus; Pereira, Andréia VieiraThis study evaluates the antimicrobial activity of tannins observed on the stem bark of Piptadenia stipulacea (Benth) on Staphylococcus aureus strains of bovine origin. In vitro antimicrobial activity of the tannin was evaluated by determining the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). To determine the MIC, tannins were serially dissolved in distilled water at concentrations ranging between 500 mg/mL and 0.976...
Phytochemical approach, bromatologic composition and antibacterial activity of ...
Bezerra, Denise Aline Casimiro; Rodrigues, Fabíola Fernandes Galvão; Costa, José Galberto Martins da; Pereira, Andréia VieiraThe need to find new efficient drugs to combat microbes has increased the search for new natural compounds with biological activities. In this work, phytochemical studies and microbiological analysis were carried out with the ethanol extracts of Mimosa tenuiflora (Wild) Poiret and Piptadenia stipulacea (Benth) Ducke on pathogenic bacteria strains. The bark powders of both species were submitted to bromatologic ...
