Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) and Anti-MRSA Activities of Extracts of Some Medicinal Plants: a Brief Review
AIMS Microbiology, 5(2): 117–137.

Abstract: The increasing emergence of multidrug-resistant infection causing microorganisms has become a significant burden globally. Despite the efforts of pharmaceuticals in producing relatively new antimicrobial drugs, they have resulted in a high rate of mortality, disability and diseases across the world especially in developing countries. Supporting this claim was the report of the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) who estimated that over 2 million illnesses and 23,000 deaths per year are attributable to antibiotic resistant pathogens in the United States. They include Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Vancomycin-intermediate Staphylococcus aureus (VISA), Vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA), Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE), Extended spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) producing gram-negative bacilli, Multidrug-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae (MDRSP), Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) and Multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii. For MRSA, resistance is as a result of Methicillin-sensitive S. aureus (MSSA) strains that have acquired Staphylococcal Cassette Chromosome mec (SCCmec) which carries mecA gene. The gene encodes the penicillin-binding protein (PBP2a) which confers resistance to all β-lactam antibiotics. -
Mini Data Sheet on Cryptothelea Variegata (Publication Date: 2016)
DROPSA, October 2016 This short description was prepared in the framework of the EU FP7 project DROPSA - Strategies to develop effective, innovative and practical approaches to protect major European fruit crops from pests and pathogens (grant agreement no. 613678). This pest was listed in the DROPSA alert list for orange and mandarin fruit. Cryptothelea variegata (Lepidoptera: Psychidae) Location of life stages on plant parts: Psychidae are primarily defoliators, but may feed externally on fruit (USDA, 2013). Fruit pathway: Possibly, as larvae. Because this is based on a statement for Psychidae generally, it is uncertain. Other pathways: plants for planting. Hosts: Polyphagous, incl. Citrus, Mangifera indica, Anacardium occidentale, Camellia sinensis, Casuarina, Cinnamomum, Shorea robusta (NBAIR, 2016), Manihot esculenta, Ricinus communis, Albizia, Syzygium aromaticum, Cinchona, Uncaria gambir (CABI CPC), Castanea (as chestnut) (Nasu et al., 2011), Pinus, Bischofia javanica, Paulownia tomentosa, Acacia nilotica (FAO, 2007). Distribution: Asia: India (NBAIR, 2016), China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam (CABI CPC), Japan (Nasu et al., 2011). CABI CPC also mentions ‘South East Asia’. Damage: In Southern China on Citrus, C. variegata is considered as very widespread and important, and minor on coconut, coffee, jackfruit and mango (Li et al., 1997). In India, it is rated as a minor pest (NBAIR, 2016). C. variegata can cause damage on citrus and tea, but is much more polyphagous (Sobczyk, no date). In Sumatra, it causes significant defoliation of pines (in natural forests) and damage on crop trees e.g. Paulownia tomentosa, Acacia nilotica (FAO, 2007). Other information: The name Eumeta variegata is used in most publications. Recorded impact: Moderate Intercepted: Not known Spreading/invasive: Not (uncertain) known References: CABI CPC. -

(Uncaria Gambir [Roxb.]) As Antiseptic on Gingival Wound in Rats
THE EFFECT OF GAMBIER EXTRACTS (UNCARIA GAMBIR [ROXB.]) 80 AS ANTISEPTIC ON GINGIVAL WOUND IN RATS THE EFFECT OF GAMBIER EXTRACTS (UNCARIA GAMBIR [ROXB.]) AS ANTISEPTIC ON GINGIVAL WOUND IN RATS Siti Rusdiana Puspa Dewi*, Anna Pratiwi**, Theodorus*** Keywords: ABSTRACT antiseptic, bacteria, gambier Background: The main principle in treatment of wounds is infection control by using antiseptic. Gambier (Uncaria gambir [Roxb.]) containing catechins and tannins reported that has an antiseptic effect. This aim of this study was to determine the effect of gambier extract as antiseptic on gingival wound in rats. Methods: In vivo study, used pretest-posttest only control group design had been conducted in Animal house, Medical Faculty of Sriwijaya University and Province’s Health Laboratory in Palembang. There were 30 white Wistar rats divided into five groups. Group 1 was given 10% povidone-iodine ointment (positive control), group 2 was given a placebo ointment (negative control), group 3, 4, and 5 were given an ointment with 10%, 15%, and 20% gambier extracts. Gingival labial wound of the mandible was induced with cylinder diamond bur, then swabbed before and after treatment. Gingival swab samples were cultured in agar medium and incubated for 24 hours. The number of bacterial colonies from all groups were counted by colony counter. The statistical analysis was used IBM SPSS statistics version 22,0. Result: The result showed that the number of bacterial colonies from all groups decreased significantly after treatment, except for negative control. The higher concentration of gambier extract led the better effect of antiseptic. Conclusion: It can be concluded that gambier extract has antiseptic effect of gingival wound in rats. -
Physicochemical Studies of Tamarind Shell Tannins As a Potential Green Rust Converter
PEER-REVIEWED ARTICLE bioresources.com Physicochemical Studies of Tamarind Shell Tannins as a Potential Green Rust Converter Abdullahi Abdulmajid,a,b Tuan Sherwyn Hamidon,b Afidah Abdul Rahim,b and M. Hazwan Hussin b,* The characterization of tamarind shell tannins for potential use in rust transformation was studied. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), and phytochemical assays were applied to examine tamarind shell tannins. The analyses revealed that the methanol extract of tamarind shell (TME) was rich in phytochemical compounds, compared to that of aqueous acetone extract of tamarind shell (TAE). Furthermore, the FTIR and NMR studies confirmed the presence of tannins. The FTIR study on the performance of tamarind shell tannins on rust treatment via the effects of concentration, pH, and reaction time was evaluated. The FTIR spectra revealed that the percentage rust transformation (RT %) was in the order of lepidocrocite (γ-FeOOH) > magnetite (Fe3O4) > goethite (α-FeOOH). Meanwhile, the results obtained revealed that lepidocrocite peaks completely disappeared, and magnetite peaks reduced intensity up to 95.83 RT % for TME and 94.75 RT % for TAE. The TME was the best rust converter at 7% concentration.

Received: 19 November 2009; in revised form: 19 December 2009 / Accepted: 24 December 2009 / Published: 28 December 2009 Abstract: This review will discuss recent progress in the chemistry of secondary polyphenols produced during food processing. The production mechanism of the secondary polyphenols in black tea, whisky, cinnamon, and persimmon fruits will be introduced. In the process of black tea production, tea leaf catechins are enzymatically oxidized to yield a complex mixture of oxidation products, including theaflavins and thearubigins. Despite the importance of the beverage, most of the chemical constituents have not yet been confirmed due to the complexity of the mixture. However, the reaction mechanisms at the initial stages of catechin oxidation are explained by simple quinone–phenol coupling reactions. In vitro model experiments indicated the presence of interesting regio- and stereoselective reactions. Recent results on the reaction mechanisms will be introduced. During the aging of whisky in oak wood barrels, ellagitannins originating from oak wood are oxidized and react with ethanol to give characteristic secondary ellagitannins. -

Traditional notions of sickness etiology are set in the context of both Christian beliefs and the state's efforts to promulgate modem, 'scientific' understandings, in order to show how sociologically distinguished individuals draw variously at different times and contexts on all three fields of sickness interpretation and management. The thesis begins with a history of Nias relations with the outside world, in order to delineate the genealogy of modem Indonesian attitudes to local culture. -
