Abstract

BRUNET-BERNAL, Gerardo et al. Antimicrobial activity of peroxyadenosine in vitro culture of resistant methicillin Staphylococcus aureus. AMC [online]. 2021, vol.25, n.5, e8139.  Epub Oct 01, 2021. ISSN 1025-0255.

ABSTRACT

Background:

infections associated with healthcare and the community caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) constitutes a health problem in the world. This situation is associated with the indiscriminate use of antimicrobials and bacterial mutagenesis, therefore, the development of new products with antimicrobial activity is a priority for Cuba.

Objective:

to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of peroxyadenosine in vitro culture of MRSA.

Methods:

an experimental laboratory study was carried out in a biological model (microbial culture) at the Amalia Simoni Hospital in Camagüey province, from January 2016 to July 2020. The sample consisted of 60 biological cultures through simple random sampling, distributed in two groups with 30 crops of each investigated layer. One group corresponded to a wild MRSA strain, obtained from the hospital culture collection and the other to the reference strain (ATCC 25923) from the American Type Culture Collection. The studied variables were: formation and concentration of peroxyadenosine, preservation of the aromatic structure of adenosine and the pattern of susceptibility to methicillin.

Results:

peroxyadenosine was formed from the interaction of hydrogen peroxide with adenosine. The MRSA cultures were sensitive to 1: 2 undiluted peroxyadenosine concentrations, demonstrated by the presence of inhibition halos in the culture.

Conclusions:

the inhibition of MRSA growth by peroxyadenosine suggests its evaluation as a new antibacterial product effective against this microorganism.
