To evaluate the antibacterial activity of the extracts of Laurus nobilis against three Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212 and Staphylococcus epidermidis CIP 444) and two Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli ATCC 35218 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853). Also, the antibiofilm activity has been investigated against the biofilm produced by Staphylococcus epidermidis CIP 444.
The polysaccharides, essential oil, and fatty oils extracted from the plant were used in broth microdilution methods to study the minimal inhibitory concentration, and then the minimal bactericidal concentration was determined.
The results showed that alginate, fucoidan, fatty oils and essential oil have good antibacterial activities against the 5 bacterial strains, and a negligible biofilm eradication activity of fucoidan, laminaran, fatty oil, and essential oil was observed, but a promising biofilm eradication activity was obtained with alginate, which showed a reduced biofilm mass even at low concentration.
The extracts obtained have promising antibacterial capacities which need further investigation for them to be incorporated in medical or nutritional applications.
评估月桂叶提取物对三种革兰氏阳性菌(金黄色葡萄球菌ATCC 25923、粪肠球菌ATCC 29212和表皮葡萄球菌CIP 444)以及两种革兰氏阴性菌(大肠杆菌ATCC 35218和铜绿假单胞菌ATCC 27853)的抗菌活性。此外,还研究了其对表皮葡萄球菌CIP 444产生的生物膜的抗生物膜活性。
采用肉汤微量稀释法,使用从该植物中提取的多糖、精油和脂肪油来研究最低抑菌浓度,然后测定最低杀菌浓度。
结果表明,藻酸盐、岩藻依聚糖、脂肪油和精油对这5种细菌菌株具有良好的抗菌活性,观察到岩藻依聚糖、海带多糖、脂肪油和精油的生物膜消除活性可忽略不计,但藻酸盐具有良好的生物膜消除活性,即使在低浓度下也能减少生物膜量。
所获得的提取物具有良好的抗菌能力,需要进一步研究以便将其应用于医学或营养领域。
