The escalating presence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) in food systems presents a pressing challenge, particularly preventing contamination and ensuring safety. Traditional sanitation methods, such as cooking chemical disinfectants, provide effective means to reduce ARB, yet there is growing need for additional preventive measures directly on surfaces. This review explores the potential chitosan–phytochemical composites (CPCs) surface coatings prevent initial by thereby offering novel complementary approach conventional safety practices. Chitosan, combined with active plant-derived metabolites (phytochemicals), forms notable antibacterial antioxidant properties that enhance its protective effects. We examine CPC synthesis methodologies, including modifications, free radical-induced grafting, enzyme-mediated techniques, which stability activity CPCs against ARB. Highlighting recent findings CPCs’ efficacy through minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) zones inhibition, this underscores ARB risks surfaces, seafood, meat, postharvest products. insights provided here aim encourage future strategies leveraging preventative treatment mitigate production processing environments.

Elucidation of antimicrobial efficacy and mode of action of lintetralin and mupirocin derived from Phyllanthus niruri against proteus mirabilis through transcriptome analysis

Journal of Medicinal Plants Studies, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 12(4), P. 53 - 62

Published: July 1, 2024

Prevalence of bacterial multidrug resistance is a multifactorial problem raising healthcare threats globally rendering commercial antibiotic ineffective. Medicinal plants act as unexplored resources for the development potent drugs. Phyllanthus niruri reported to exhibit diverse biological properties including antimicrobial, antifungal, anticancer properties. Possible binding affinity targeted bioactive phytochemicals (Lintetralin and Mupirocin) from methanolic leaf extract niruriagainst genes in Proteus mirabilis was predicted through in-silico analysis. This study suggested that lintetralin showed lowest minimum docking score (-3.830 Kcal/mol) against atfE protein, -3.248 Kcal/mol lpxA protein -3.103 mrpH mirabilis. Similarly, mupirocin –7.552 with -6.976 -6.851 The revealed are antimicrobials, which can be used potential alternative antibiotics combat MDR.
