Abstract
-
Tuberculosis, an infectious disease, is caused by Mycobacterium
tuberculosis. It remains a significant public health issue
around the globe, causing about 1.8 million deaths every year.
Drug-resistant M. tuberculosis, including multi-drug-resistant
(MDR), extremely-drug-resistant (XDR), and totally drugresistant
(TDR) M. tuberculosis, continues to be a threat to
public health. In the case of antibiotic-resistant tuberculosis,
the treatment effect of conventional antibiotics is low. Side
effects caused by high doses over a long period are causing
severe problems. To overcome these problems, there is an urgent
need to develop a new anti-tuberculosis drug that is different
from the existing compound-based antibiotics. Probiotics
are defined as live microorganisms conferring health
benefits. They can be potential therapeutic agents in this context
as the effectiveness of probiotics against different infectious
diseases has been well established. Here, we report that
Lactobacillus crispatus PMC201 shows a promising effect on
tuberculosis isolated from vaginal fluids of healthy Korean
women. Lactobacillus crispatus PMC201 reduced M. tuberculosis
H37Rv under co-culture conditions in broth and reduced
M. tuberculosis H37Rv and XDR M. tuberculosis in macrophages.
Lactobacillus crispatus PMC201 was not toxic to a
guinea pig model and did not induce dysbiosis in a human
intestinal microbial ecosystem simulator. Taken together, these
results
indicate that L. crispatus PMC201 can be a promising
alternative drug candidate in the current tuberculosis drug
regime. Further study is warranted to assess the in vivo efficacy
and confirm the mode of action of L. crispatus PMC201.

Abstract
-
Infirmity and death from diseases caused by unsafe food are
a continual hazard to communal health safety and socio-economic
growth throughout the world. Chemical preservatives
are associated with health hazards and toxicity issues. In the
study reported here, 200 soil isolates from Western Himalayan
region in India were screened for potential antibacterial
activity against food-borne pathogens. This study led
to the isolation of a bacterial strain belonging to the Genus
Bacillus and was designated as RPT-0001. The associated
antibacterial activity was sensitive to pronase E treatment.
Bioassay-guided fractionation using reverse phase high
performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) led to isolation
of the antibacterial peptide designated as RPT-0001.
The molecular weight of RPT-0001 was determined by electro-
spray ionization mass spectroscopy (ESI-MS) as 276.9 Da.
RPT-0001 was inhibitory to both Gram-negative and Grampositive
food-borne bacteria tested. The characteristics of
RPT-0001 do not match with that of any other known antibacterial
peptides produced by Bacillus sp. or related genera.
Purified RPT-0001 was successfully used in synthesis of silver
nanoparticles effective against food-borne pathogenic
bacteria. The antibacterial peptide and silver nanoparticles
synthesized utilizing it as a capping and reducing agent hold
promising potential in food preservation, in packaging material
and as a therapeutic agent in the treatment of foodborne
infections.

Abstract
-
In the present study, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) with an average particle size of 5.5 ± 3.1 nm were biosynthesized using an endophytic fungus Cryptosporiopsis ericae PS4 isolated from the ethno-medicinal plant Potentilla fulgens L. The nanoparticles were characterized using UV-visible spectrophotometer, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), selective area electron diffraction (SAED), and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy
analysis. Antimicrobial efficacy of the AgNPs was analyzed singly and in combination with the antibiotic/antifungal agent chloramphenicol/fluconazole, against five pathogenic microorganisms-Staphylococcus aureus MTCC96, Salmonella enteric MTCC735, Escherichia coli MTCC730, Enterococcus faecalis MTCC2729, and Candida albicans MTCC 183. The activity of AgNPs on the growth and morphology of the microorganisms was studied in solid and liquid growth media
employing various susceptibility assays. These studies demonstrated that concentrations of AgNPs alone between 10 and 25 μM reduced the growth rates of the tested bacteria and fungus and revealed bactericidal/fungicidal activity of the
AgNPs by delaying the exponential and stationary phases. Examination using SEM showed pits and ruptures in bacterial cells indicating fragmented cell membrane and severe cell damage in those cultures treated with AgNPs. These experimental
findings suggest that the biosynthesized AgNPs may be a potential antimicrobial agent.

Abstract
-
Central composite design was chosen to determine the combined effects of four process variables (AgNO3 concentration, incubation period, pH level and inoculum size) on the extracellular biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) by Streptomycesviridochromogenes. Statistical analysis of the results showed that incubation period, initial pH level and inoculum size had significant effects (P0.05) on the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles at their individual level. The maximum biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles was achieved at a concentration of 0.5% (v/v) of 1 mM AgNO3, incubation period of 96 h, initial pH of 9 and inoculum size of 2% (v/v). After optimization, the biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles was improved by approximately 5-fold as compared to that of the unoptimized conditions. The synthetic process of silver nanoparticle generation using the reduction of aqueous Ag+ ion by the culture supernatants of S. viridochromogenes was quite fast, and silver nanoparticles were formed immediately by the addition of AgNO3 solution (1 mM) to the cell-free supernatant. Initial characterization of silver nanoparticles was performed by visual observation of color change from yellow to intense brown color. UV-visible spectrophotometry for measuring surface plasmon resonance showed a single absorption peak at 400 nm, which confirmed the presence of silver nanoparticles. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy analysis provided evidence for proteins as possible reducing and capping agents for stabilizing the nanoparticles. Transmission Electron Microscopy revealed the extracellular formation of spherical silver nanoparticles in the size range of 2.15–7.27 nm. Compared to the cell-free supernatant, the biosynthesized AgNPs revealed superior antimicrobial activity against Gram-negative, Gram-positive bacterial strains and Candida albicans.
