ANTIMYCOBACTERIAL ACTIVITY OF CRUDE EXTRACTS PRODUCED BY BACILLUS SP. ASSOCIATED WITH ENTOMOPATHOGENIC NEMATODE
Journal Title: International Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 6, Issue 9
Abstract
Objective: The World Health Organization estimates that about 8 to 10 million new Tuberculosis (TB) cases occur annually worldwide and its incidence is currently increasing. There are two million deaths from TB each year. The global threat of tuberculosis demands the search for alternative antimycobacterial drugs. The aim of the present study was to determine the antimycobacterial activity of nine crude extracts from a Bacillus sp. N strain associated with entomopathogenic nematode Rhabditis (Oscheius) sp.Methods: The liquid media for fermentation was prepared in TSB alone, LB alone and TSB + LB (1:1) supplemented with six different carbon sources (fructose, maltose, dextrose, mannitol, sucrose and lactose) and after fermentation crude extract was extracted using ethyl acetate. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of extracts was determined using the broth dilution method on middle brook 7H11 against M. tuberculosis H37Rv. The cytotoxicity of the extracts was determined by 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay against VERO cell line.Results: Out of nine extract tested only two recorded activity and significant activity was recorded by TSB+LB+lactose, followed by TSB+LB+fructose. These two extracts were nontoxic to the normal cell line.Conclusion: Purification of these extract will get pure compounds with antimycobacterial activity in future.Â
