• Ethnobotanical approach to drug discovery
• Antibiotic resistant bacteria as a target
• New strategies for evaluating old remedies
▫ Quorum quenchers
Chestnut
▫ Biofilm inhibitors
Elmleaf Blackberry
• Next generation of anti-infectives

The Science of Ethnobotany
• Ethnobotany (from ethnology, study of culture, and botany, study of plants) is the scientific study of the relationships that exist between peoples and plants.
• Ethnobotany is the science of survival.
Ethnobotanical-directed study of plants used for infectious disease is often more
effective than a random approach.

Laboratory studies • Antibacterial testing
• Antibiotic resistance
• Bacterial communication pathways
• Research targets: ▫ MRSA
▫ Eczema
▫ Acne
▫ Pneumonia
▫ Ear infections
▫ Skin infections
▫ Medical device infections
![Page 22: Alan Lesniewicz Memorial Lecture at UIC - July 2015](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052606/58f0c2781a28ab4f738b45cf/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Clinical Relevance • On the precipice of the post-
antibiotic era? ▫ 2M serious infections, 23k fatalities
linked to MDR infection in US
• Intrinsic vs. acquired resistance
▫ 17M new biofilm infections/year in US = 550k fatalities
• Antibiotic pipeline nearly empty
• We already face a high economic burden for infectious disease (HAI’s in US = $28.4-45 B)

▫ Brain abscesses
▫ Medical device infections
▫ Skin and soft tissue infections (SSTI)
• Commonly implicated in:
