With growing concern about the possible risks and side effects of antibiotic drugs, more and more natural products with antibacterial activity are studied as the substitutes. In this paper, the antibacterial activity of hydroquinone and arbutin in Ainsliaea bonatii was investigated, which both displayed relatively strong antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus (SA), methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), and extended spectrum β-lactamase S. aureus (ESBL-SA). The antibacterial…

Antibacterial Mechanism of Dihydrotanshinone I
TLDR
Dihydrotanshinone I could influence the synthesis of bacterial protein, destroy the protein, or reject the anabolism or expression of theprotein, and finally lead to the loss of normal physiological function of bacteria.

TLDR
Pinocembrin is a candidate drug for the treatment of A. hydrophila infection in aquaculture by increasing cell membrane permeability and affecting protein and DNA metabolism and its mechanism of action was identified by investigating its effect on protein andDNA.
Elucidating Antibacterial Activity and Mechanism of Daphnetin against Pseudomonas fluorescens and Shewanella putrefaciens
TLDR
The findings indicated that daphnetin mainly exerted its antibacterial effect by destroying the membrane and suggested that it had good potential to be as a natural food preservative.
Antibacterial Activity of Arbutus pavarii Pamp against Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and UHPLC-MS/MS Profile of the Bioactive Fraction
TLDR
The results of this study showed that the ethyl acetate fraction of Arbutus pavarii leaf possessed potential antibacterial activity against MRSA and hence can be further explored for pharmaceutical applications as a natural antibacterial agent.
Mechanism of Antibacterial Activity of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens C-1 Lipopeptide toward Anaerobic Clostridium difficile
TLDR
It is suggested that proper application of antimicrobial peptides may be effective in C. difficile control.
The antibacterial mechanism of oridonin against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)
TLDR
Oridonin antibacterial mechanism was related to changes in cell membrane and cell wall permeability, disturbance in protein and DNA metabolism, and influence on bacterial morphology, thus, oridonin may help in treating MRSA infection.
Effects of Itxasol© Components on Gene Expression in Bacteria Related to Infections of the Urinary Tract and to the Inflammation Process
TLDR
This work reviews the activities of Itxasol, arbutin, umbelliferon, and N-acetyl cysteine concerning the changes they produce in the expression of bacterial genes and those related to inflammation as well as assess how they are capable of affecting the DNA of bacteria and fungi.

The mechanism of antibacterial activity of corylifolinin against three clinical bacteria from Psoralen corylifolia L
TLDR
Effective antibacterial activity against Grampositive bacteria isolated in clinical strains was exhibited when corylifolinin was tested using the Disc diffusion method (K-B method), which led to the leakage of AKP and bacterial extracellular protein.

TLDR
The antibacterial mechanism of EAEO may involve in affecting cell membrane integrity, soluble protein and nucleic acid synthesis of S.aureus.
Antimicrobial effects of chitosan on the main pathogens from urinary tract infection in vitro
TLDR
Results showed that chitosan suppressed growth of the four dedicated pathogens in a positive dose-dependent manner, and that the minimum inhibitory concentration was confirmed to be 0.
Antibacterial mechanism of chelerythrine isolated from root of Toddalia asiatica (Linn) Lam
TLDR
Results suggested that the primary anti-bacterial mechanism of chelerythrine may be attributed to its destruction of the channels across the bacterial cell membranes, causing protein leakage to the outside of the cell, and to its inhibition on protein biosynthesis.
Efficacy of novel antibacterial compounds targeting histidine kinase YycG protein
TLDR
The structural modification of YycG inhibitors will assist the discovery of novel agents to eliminate biofilm infections and multidrug-resistant staphylococcal infections.
Scavenging Ability for Nitrite and Antibacterial Mechanism of Phytosterol from Cortex mori
TLDR
Phytosterol from Cortex mori inhibited bacterial split, cell division, normal metabolism activities of bacterial proteins, and made the change of cell membrane permeability, showing that it inhibited the normal growth of E. coli.
Antimicrobial activity of Salvia miltiorrhiza and different processed products
TLDR
The study shows that simple stir-frying and stir-flying with wine of S.miltiorrhiza significantly raises the resistance to antibacterial activity, but carbonizing with stir- frying of S-miltorrhiza diminishes to some extent.

Moricin, a Novel Type of Antibacterial Peptide Isolated from the Silkworm, Bombyx mori(*)
TLDR
The results suggest that the N-terminal portion of the peptide, containing a predicted α-helix, is responsible for an increase in the membrane permeability, and proposes the name “moricin” for this novel antibacterial peptide isolated from B. mori.
