Abstract

As part of our search for less toxic antimicrobial agents from natural resources, the antimicrobial activity of Elfvingia applanata $(P_{ers.})\;K_{arst.}$ extract was examined alone and in combination with naringenin. EA, the aqueous extract from the carpophores of E. applanata, was lyophilized and a dark brownish powder was obtained. Antimicrobial activity of EA was tested in vitro against nineteen strains of bacteria and eleven strains of fungi by serial broth dilution method, and expressed by minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC). Among nineteen strains of bacteria tested, the antimicrobial activity of EA was the most potent against Proteus vulgaris showing MIC of 1.125 mg/ml. EA also inhibited the growth of the selected fungi at higher concentrations ranging from 7.5 mg/ml to 15.0 mg/ml. To investigate the effect of antimicrobial combinations of EA with naringenin, the fractional inhibitory concentration index (FICI) was determined by checkerboard assay for each strain. The antimicrobial combinations of EA with naringenin resulted in partial synergism against Staphylococcus aureus only, and showed additive effect in two strains including Klebsiella pneumoniae and Salmonella typhi. Antagonism was not found.

담자균류의 하나인 잔나비걸상 자실체로부터 얻은 수성엑스의 항세균 시험과 항진균 시험을 액체배지 희석법으로 실시하고 naringenin과의 병용시험을 checkerboard assay 법으로 평가하였다. 항세균 시험결과 전반적으로 그람음성균보다 그람양성균에 대해 비교적 양호한 항균력을 나타내었으나 사용된 균주중 그람음성균인 Proteus vulgaris 78615는 MIC가 1.125 mg/ml로 가장 양호한 항균효과를 나타내었다. 11종의 균주에 대해 실시된 항진균 시험결과 Candida albicans, Fusarium spp. 그리고 Trichophyton mentagraphytes의 MIC가 7.5 mg/ml로 다른 균주에 대한 항진균 효과보다 두배 더 강한 효과를 나타내었다. naringenin과의 병용시험에서 Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923에 대하여 부분적 상승효과를 나타내었고, Klebsiella pneumoniae ATCC 10031과 Salmonella typhi ATCC 6229 두 균주에서 상가효과가 관찰되었다. 그리고 Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633을 비롯한 7종의 균주에서 무관효과를 나타내었으며 길항효과는 관찰되지 않았다.
