Increasing resistance to antibiotics has led to research into new treatment options. Recent studies suggest the use of plant extracts as an alternative strategy. Feijoa is widely known for its efficacy against a broad spectrum of bacterial pathogens. In this study, the antibacterial activity of methanolic extract and nanosilver of Feijoa fruit (FF-AgNPs) was investigated in BALB/c mice infected with Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (SesT). The antimicrobial effect of Feijoa fruit and FF-AgNPs was evaluated by employing minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) against SesT. The efficacy of the treatment in vivo was evaluated in mice by quantifying the viable population of SesT ATCC 14028 purchased from the Iranian Biological Resource Center. Both MIC and MBC results showed a strong bactericidal effect of the Feijoa fruit and its nanosilver against SesT. According to the colony count and weight measurement results of the mice, methanolic extract of Feijoa fruit and FF-AgNPs had acceptable antimicrobial efficacy. Also, none of the mice receiving these agents died, while a high mortality rate was observed in the infected group. Due to the continuous increase in microbial resistance and the importance of pathogenic bacteria in the healthcare system, there is a growing need for the use of complementary agents that possess antimicrobial properties. The findings of the current study suggest that methanolic extract of Feijoa fruit and FF-AgNPs can be considered as a beneficial antibiotic supplements due to their favorable antimicrobial effects.
抗生素耐药性的不断增加促使人们研究新的治疗方案。最近的研究表明,使用植物提取物是一种替代策略。费约果以其对多种细菌病原体的功效而广为人知。在本研究中,研究了费约果甲醇提取物和纳米银(FF-AgNPs)对感染肠炎沙门氏菌鼠伤寒血清型(SesT)的BALB/c小鼠的抗菌活性。通过采用针对SesT的最低抑菌浓度(MIC)和最低杀菌浓度(MBC)来评估费约果和FF-AgNPs的抗菌效果。通过对从伊朗生物资源中心购买的SesT ATCC 14028的活菌数量进行定量,评估了该治疗方法在小鼠体内的疗效。MIC和MBC结果均显示费约果及其纳米银对SesT具有强大的杀菌作用。根据小鼠的菌落计数和体重测量结果,费约果甲醇提取物和FF-AgNPs具有可接受的抗菌效果。此外,接受这些药物的小鼠均未死亡,而感染组观察到高死亡率。由于微生物耐药性的持续增加以及病原菌在医疗系统中的重要性,越来越需要使用具有抗菌特性的补充剂。本研究结果表明,费约果甲醇提取物和FF-AgNPs因其良好的抗菌效果可被视为有益的抗生素补充剂。
