Antibacterial activity extracts of the ant genera crematogaster and solenopsis

One of the main problems faced today by the scientific community is the increasingly frequent occurrence of pathogenic bacterial strains resistant to current antibiotics and antimicrobial, because these germs are able, under certain circumstances, to be immune to such chemicals, it is therefore nece...

description One of the main problems faced today by the scientific community is the increasingly frequent occurrence of pathogenic bacterial strains resistant to current antibiotics and antimicrobial, because these germs are able, under certain circumstances, to be immune to such chemicals, it is therefore necessary to pursue the search for new agents. For this purpose, a good source can come from social insects, which have developed as a survival strategy, the production of bactericidal agents to protect their colonies. The purpose of this work was to determine if certain ants that have adapted to urban environments, have antibacterial activity and to what extent. For this purpose, ants of the genus Crematogaster sp. and sp. Solenopsis were captured and subjected to extraction process by maceration, yielding total ethanolic extracts, very little soluble, which were evaluated at different concentrations on Gram negative bacteria strains (Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomona aeruginosa) and Gram positive (Bacillus subtilis spizizenii and Staphylococcus aureus), finding growth inhibitory activity at different degrees over all strains, including an S. aureus one resistant to antibiotics Amoxicillin/Clavulanate, Ampicillin/Sulbactam, Ceftriaxone and Oxacillin; therefore, these species can be classified as promising in the search for new antimicrobial agents.

Para este propósito, una buena fuente puede provenir de los insectos sociales, los cuales han desarrollado como estrategia de supervivencia la producción de agentes bactericidas para proteger sus colonias. Este trabajo se centró en determinar si ciertas hormigas que se adaptaron a los ámbitos urbanos, tienen esta actividad. Para ello, se capturaron hormigas de los géneros Crematogaster sp. y Solenopsis sp., que se sometieron a procesos de extracción por maceración, obteniéndose extractos etanólicos totales, muy poco hidrosolubles, los cuales se evaluaron a diferentes concentraciones sobre cepas de bacterias Gram negativas (Klebsiella pneumoniae y Pseudomona aeruginosa) y Gram positivas (Bacillus subtilis spizizenii y Staphylococcus aureus), encontrando actividad inhibitoria al crecimiento en diferentes grados sobre todas ellas, incluyendo una S. aureus resistente a los antibióticos Amoxicilina/Ac. Clavulánico, Ampicilina/Sulbactam y Ceftriazona/Oxacilina; por tanto, estas especies se pueden clasificar como promisorias en la búsqueda de nuevos agentes antimicrobianos.application/pdfspaRevista Colombiana de Ciencias Químico Farmacéuticashttp://revistas.unal.edu.co/index.php/rccquifa/article/view/45102Universidad Nacional de Colombia Revistas electrónicas UN Revista Colombiana de Ciencias Químico FarmacéuticasRevista Colombiana de Ciencias Químico FarmacéuticasRevista Colombiana de Ciencias Químico Farmacéuticas; Vol. 42, núm. 1 (2013); 42-55 0034-7418 1909-6356Matiz Melo, Germán and Osorio Fortich, María del Rosario (2013) Antibacterial activity extracts of the ant genera crematogaster and solenopsis.
