In vitro antibacterial activity of usnic acid and octyl gallate against resistant Enterococcus strains

Original language description

The genus Enterococcus is represented by some of the clinically important species and is well known for its antibiotic resistance, which participates in colonization and infection. Increasing resistance of enterococci has been evoked due to the excessiveuse of antibiotics not merely for therapeutic purposes or in indicated cases. One of the promising possibilities how to reduce the use of great amount of antibiotics is to utilize antimicrobial properties of natural substances. Usnic acid is a lichen compound possessing antibacterial activity against gram-positive bacteria including enterococci. Octyl gallate, gallic acid ester, has significant antibacterial and antifungal properties. This study was focused on the evaluation of resistant enterococci susceptibility to usnic acid and octyl gallate in comparison with control group of enterococci. Antibacterial activity of usnic acid and octyl gallate was defined as minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC value) and minimum bactericidal conc
