Synergetic effects of Ulva lactuca and Pterocladiella capillacea on the multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The potential of marine algae as a source of antibacterial chemicals has been very promising. Numerous bioactive compounds produced by these organisms can fight off harmful microorganisms. Two marine algae (Chlorophyta: Ulva lactuca, Rhodophyta: Pterocladiella capillacea) were screened for their antibacterial activity against distinct multidrug-resistant bacteria Klebsiella pneumoniae. This efficiency is ascribed to the bioactive substances found in these algae, which have the ability to stop the growth of this harmful bacteria. Pterocladiella capillacea is a viable target for the development of novel antibacterial medications since its chemicals function by interfering with bacterial processes.
