Inhibitory Actions of Catechins, Pro-anthocyanidins, and Flavonols Against Pathogens Resistant to Multiple Drugs: Flavonoid Forcefields
There is an urgent requirement for the development of novel and creative antimicrobial techniques to fight against the menace of emerging drug-resistant microorganisms. This research evaluates the antibacterial activity of three flavonoid compounds against resistant strains of S. aureus, P. aeruginosa, and S. typhi: catechins, pro-anthocyanidins, and flavonols. By recognized antimicrobial susceptibility techniques, both the MIC and MBC were determined to show considerable antibacterial activity. Flavonols exhibited the highest zones of inhibition, with peak inhibition measuring 24.4±0.03 mm. It also reflected the most significant bactericidal and inhibitory effect, especially against S. aureus. Flavonoids may provide scaffolds for the development of novel antibacterial drugs. Flavonoids may be the weapon of choice to fight against bacterial strains that are resistant to conventional antibiotics since they offer a natural substitute that is not only safe but efficacious as well.
