Évaluation de l’activité hémostatique in vitro de l’extrait aqueux des feuilles de Marrubium vulgare L.
L'objectif de cette étude est d’évaluer in vitro l’activité hémostatique des métabolites secondaires des feuilles de Marrubium vulgare. L’analyse qualitative de l’extrait aqueux (EAQ) par la chromatographie sur couche mince a révélé la présence de la quercétine, la rutine et le kaempférol. La quantification des phénols totaux par la méthode de Folin Ciocalteu et des flavonoïdes par la méthode AlCl3 a donné des valeurs élevées avec l’EAQ : 175 ± 0,80 mg EAG/100g de MS, 23,86 ± 0,36 mg EQ/100g de MS. De plus, le dosage des tanins condensés par la méthode de la vanilline a montré que l’EAQ contient la valeur la plus élevée : 16,55 ± 0,03 mg E-Catéchine/100g de MS. L’évaluation de l’activité hémostatique par la méthode de recalcification du plasma décalcifié nous a permis de découvrir l’effet anticoagulant de l’EAQ lyophilisé des feuilles de M. vulgare. Une corrélation linéaire positive entre les deux paramètres étudiés (la teneur en tanins condensés et l’activité hémostatique (r = 0,96)) ont permis de mettre en évidence un rôle probable de ces composés qui sont des vaso-constricteurs puissants dans l’activité hémostatique
Characterization of VIM-4 Producing Clinical Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolates from Western Algeria: Sequence Type and Class 1 Integron Description
International audienceObjectives: Pseudomonas aeruginosa occupies a central position in nosocomial infections and remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to characterize carbapenem resistance mechanisms in P. aeruginosa isolates from clinical specimens collected at the University Hospital of Oran, western Algeria. Materials and Methods: The identification of 214 nonduplicated P. aeruginosa isolates (collected from January to December 2016) was confirmed using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry. Thirteen antibiotics were tested using the disc diffusion method. Carbapenemase-encoding genes were detected with the GeneXpert system and multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Clonal relatedness was determined using multilocus sequence typing (MLST) and the seven housekeeping genes were further used for phylogenetic analysis of imipenem-resistant P. aeruginosa using concatenated gene fragments. The flanking regions of the blaVIM-4 gene were analyzed by whole-genome sequencing. Results: Eleven isolates (5.39%) were resistant to carbapenems. PCR amplification and sequencing showed that six of these isolates (2.94%) harbored the blaVIM-4 gene that was carried on a novel class 1 integron. MLST analysis assigned the tested isolates to seven different sequence types (STs), of which two were new (ST3349 and ST3350) and five were previously described (ST244, ST499, ST709, ST809, and ST1239). Conclusion: In this study, we reported P. aeruginosa isolates producing VIM-4 in an Algerian hospital. The blaVIM-4 is harbored in class 1 integron with a new arrangement of genes cassettes
