Isolation, Chemical Characterization, and Antimicrobial Activity of Secondary Metabolites from <i>Pseudocyphellaria faveolata</i>.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Antimicrobial resistance is a global threat, highlighting the urgent need for novel antimicrobial agents. Among the mechanisms of resistance, bacteria can release drug-degrading enzymes and express efflux pumps, as well as grow in protected aggregates known as biofilms. Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus are among the most prevalent biofilm infections in chronic wounds, respiratory and urinary tract infections, and device-associated infections. Pseudocyphellaria faveolata (Delise) Malme is a lichen with metabolites with unexplored antimicrobial potential.

Aims

To identify and characterize the major metabolites present in Pseudocyphellaria Faveolata and to determine their antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus a
