Phytochemical study of the aerial part of L. led to the isolation of nine compounds. The structure of 1β,2α,3β,19α,23-pentahydroxy-urs-12-en-28-oic acid () was revised and confirmation of the stereochemical configuration of the hydroxyl groups was established using NOESY and selective decoupling experiments. The other compounds were identified as 1,2-dehydro-1,10α-dihydropseudoivalin (), axillarin (), grandifloric acid-15-β-glucoside (), myrianthic acid (), caffeic acid (), quercetin (), paniculoside IV () and caffeic anhydride (). The structures were characterized by 1 D, 2 D NMR spectroscopy and confirmed with HRMS. Antimicrobial and antiquorum-sensing activities of the different extracts and isolated compounds of the plant were investigated. Generally, the phenolic rather than the terpenoidal compounds exhibited remarkable antimicrobial and antiquorum-sensing activity.[Formula: see text].

Antibiotic resistance is a world wide problem mainly in developing countries. In this work, coelomic fluid (PCF) and paste (PBP) of Pheretima posthuma was assessed for its potential as antibiofilm and anti-quorum sensing (QS) agent against pathogenic bacterial biofilms. PCF and PBP were extracted and biofilm formation time kinetics was examined using crystal violet staining method by utilizing four bacterial isolates in bispecies biofilm (06 combinations; MH5-MH10) and multi species biofilms (05 combinations; MH11-MH15).

Background And Aim: Pathogenic Escherichia coli is a known harmful microorganism that takes advantage of favorable conditions to cause various infections in healthcare settings, such as bloodstream infections related to catheters, as well as infections in the urinary and respiratory tracts. E. coli utilizes biofilm development as a means to enhance its virulence and pathogenicity.

Article Synopsis
- Oral bacterial infections pose significant health risks, especially for diabetic patients, and the rise of antimicrobial resistance is a major concern in treating these infections.
- In a study, researchers explored the effectiveness of combining fluoroquinolone antibiotics (like ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin) with omeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor, which showed enhanced antibacterial activity against identified strains.
- The combination treatment was found to significantly reduce the minimum inhibitory concentration and effectively eliminate biofilms, with a notable bactericidal effect over a 24-hour period, suggesting it could be a promising strategy for treating oral bacterial infections.

The significance of this study lies in its exploration of bioactive plant extracts as a promising avenue for combating oral bacterial pathogens, offering a novel strategy for biofilm eradication that could potentially revolutionize oral health treatments. Oral bacterial infections are common in diabetic patients; however, due to the development of resistance, treatment options are limited. Considering the excellent antimicrobial properties of phenolic compounds, we investigated them against isolated oral pathogens using and models.
