Background: Chronic tropical cutaneous ulcers remain a neglected medical condition in West Africa, particularly Buruli ulcer, which is caused by mycolactone cytotoxin-secreting Mycobacterium ulcerans (M. ulcerans). Medical management of this highly debilitating and necrotising skin infection may be modified by colonisation and co-infection of the ulcer by opportunistic and pathogenic microorganisms, which considerably delays and increases the cost of treatment.

The present study evaluates the antibacterial properties of alkaloids and the crude extracts (ethanol, n-hexane and ethyl acetate) from seaweed Sargassum fusiforme against coral pathogens (Photobacterium galatheae, Vibrio harveyi, Bordetella trematum, and Ochrobactrum pseudogrignonese) isolated from coral Porites lutea. To our knowledge, this is the first in vitro assay for such extracts on Porites lutea coral pathogens. Bacterial pathogens have been identified using 16S RNA and BankIt into gene bank and given the accession numbers (OR401000; OR401001; OR401336, and OR400998 respectively).

Introduction: infection remains uncommon. More cases of bacteraemia are reported in recent years with the primary infection largely originating from skin and soft tissue sites. Yet, our understanding of its virulence, antibiotic susceptibility profile and treatment is still limited.

Background: Carbapenemase-producing makes a great contribution to carbapenem resistance in Gram-negative bacilli. Bla gene was first discovered by us in Alcaligenes faecalis AN70 strain isolated in Guangzhou of China and, was submitted to NCBI on 16 November 2018.
Methods: Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed by broth microdilution assay using BD Phoenix 100.
