Abstract:

Objective To investigate the antimicrobial efficiency of 12 traditional Chinese medicine pellets on 6 drug-resistant bacteria,like penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae,meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus,extended-spectrum beta-lactamases(ESBLs)-producing Enterobacteriaceae and so on. Methods The antimicrobial efficiency of 12 traditional Chinese medicine pellets was evaluated by determining minimal inhibitory concentration(MIC),the validity of reversal drug resistance and the optimal concentration of reversal drug resistance. Results Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus,ESBLs-producing Enterobacteriaceae and multi-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii were sensitive to gallnut,and penicillin-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae and erythromycin-resistant hemolytic Streptococcus were sensitive to scutellaria baicalensis. Meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus was sensitive to coptis chinensis. The antimicrobial efficiency of traditional Chinese medicine pellets was consistent with Chinese herb tablets as well as antibiotics(P>0.05). Conclusions The 12 traditional Chinese medicine pellets are effective to 6 drug-resistant bacteria in different degrees. Traditional Chinese medicine pellets have antimicrobial properties.
