Phytochemical Prospection and Modulation of Antibiotic Activity In Vitro byLippia origanoidesH.B.K. in Methicillin ResistantStaphylococcus aureus

Phytochemical Prospection and Modulation of Antibiotic Activity In Vitro byLippia origanoidesH.B.K. in Methicillin ResistantStaphylococcus aureus
TheLippia origanoidesH.B.K. ethanol extract (LOEE) and hexane (LOHEX), dichloromethane (LODCM), and ethyl acetate (LOEA) fractions were tested for their antimicrobial activity alone or in combination with antibiotics against a methicillin resistantStaphylococcus aureus(MRSA) strain. The natural products did not show antimicrobial activity against multidrug resistant strain at the clinically significant concentrations tested. However, a modulatory effect in the antibacterial activity of the neomycin and amikacin was verified when LOEE, LOHEX and LODCM were added to the growth medium at subinhibitory concentrations. A similar modulation was found when the natural products were changed for chlorpromazine, an inhibitor of bacterial efflux pumps, suggesting the involvement of resistance mediated by efflux system in the MRSA tested. The fractions LOHEX and LODCM showed a modulatory activity bigger than their majority compounds (carvacrol, thymol, and naringenin), indicating that this activity is not due to their majority compounds only, but it is probably due to a synergism between their chemical components. These results indicate thatL. origanoidesH.B.K. can be a source of phytochemicals able to modify the phenotype of resistance to aminoglycosides in MRSA.
