description | Antimicrobial resistant strains of infection are afflicting clinical settings, driving the search for novel antimicrobial compounds. Naturally sourced bioactives, for instance those from seaweeds, have the potential to ameliorate this issue. As such, solvent extracts from the edible Irish seaweeds Fucus serratus and Fucus vesiculosus were screened for antimicrobial activity against 28 clinically isolated strains of MRSA, including one GISA (glycopeptide intermediate S. aureus) and two mecC gene containing strains. The water extract of F. vesiculosus was the most promising extract went on to be tested for biofilm prevention and disruption activity. The disk diffusion method was used to investigate the inhibition of the bacterial pathogens tested while MIC, MBC and biofilm disruption and prevention analyses were performed spectroscopically and by plate counts, respectively. Solvent extracts were found to have a wide array of antimicrobial activity against the strains tested, with the water extract from Fucus vesiculosus being the most promising. This extract was also found to both prevent and disrupt MRSA biofilms indicating the potential extract as new antimicrobials, and raising the possibility of their possible use in therapeutics. |
