Abstract
Bacterial infectious diseases are important cause of mortality in developing countries. These
infections mainly spread through poor hygiene and poor environment conditions. Many
pathogens develop antibiotic resistance. These pathogenic populations are slowly increases
in an around the world. The control of these pathogens is very difficult and also expensive.
The important prevention method is vaccination; the vaccine development research is going
on in many countries, now scientist very close to develops appropriate vaccine for
Staphylococcus aureus.
Key words: Antibiotic resistance, vaccine. Staphylococcus aureus
Introduction
Bacterial infectious diseases mainly spread through contaminated food and water. The main
reason for spreading diseases are poor hygiene, practice, over explosion of the population
and poor environmental conditions .Nowadays, due to improper use of antibiotics pathogen
develops antibiotic resistance. So it is difficult to eradicate these pathogens from people.
They survival long term, gives lot of illness to people. For control these pathogens, new
antibiotic discoveries are must. Our marine resources have many unexplored bioactive
compounds. Nowadays the drug industries screening new drugs from various marine
resources.
Staph Infections
Staphylococcus aureus infections range from mild to life threatening. The most common
Staph infections are Skin infections, often causing abscesses. However bacteria can travel
through the blood stream called bacteremia.and infect almost any site in the body,
Proceedings of International Seminar on Emerging Trends in Chemistry Held on 24-Jan-2020
particularly heart valves endocarditic and bones called osteomylitis.The bacteria also tend to
accumulate on medical devices in the body, such as artificial heart valves or joints ,heart
pacemakers and catheters inserted through the skin into blood vessels. Certain conditions
increase the risk of getting a Staphylococcal infections, such as Influenza,Tumour,chronic
lung disorder,leukemia,burn,An open wound or sore, chronic skin disorders, surgery,
diabetes mellitus,etc. There are many strains of staphylococcus aureus. Some strains
produce toxins that can cause staphylococcal food poisoning, toxic shock syndrome. The
toxic shock syndrome is also produced by Streptococci. This syndrome causes rapidly
progressive and severe symptoms that in clued fever, rash, dangerously low blood pressure
and failure of several organs.
Antibiotic Resistance
The Antibiotic resistance mechanism are emerging and spreading globally, threatening our
ability to treat common infectious diseases, resulting in prolonged illness, disability and
death. It also increases the cost of health care with longer stays in hospital and more
intensive care required. Due to poor infection control, inadequate sanitary conditions and
inappropriate food handling encourages the spread of antimicrobial resistance pathogens.
People with MRSA (Methgicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.) are estimated to be 64%
more likely to die than people with a non-resistant from the infection.
Prevention and control
Some people always thoroughly washing their hands with soap and water or applying an
alcohol based sanitizer can be protected from spread of these bacteria. People with
staphylococcal skin infection should not handle food. Taking old food is not good, it may be
contaminated, so better avoid old food items. Boiling drinking water help to prevent water
borne infections. Staph infection also spread through wounds. So carefully maintain wound
up to complete healing. Discovery of new drugs help to control these infections. If maintain
good immunity by using natural immunostimulants, fruits, vegetables,etc.help to prevent
these infections and also use best disinfectants to use our surrounding to destroy the
pathogens..The effective tools for preventing infection in human and animals. These include
immunization, safe water and sanitation, maintance of good hygiene in hospitals and animal
husbandry. Appropriate use of existing and new antibiotics is also essential.

Diagnosis and Treatment
Staphylococcal skin infections are usually diagnosed based on their appearance. Other
infections require samples of blood or infected fluids, which are send to a laboratory to
grow, identify and test the bacteria. Laboratory results confirm the diagnosis and determine
which antibiotics can kill the staphylococci called Susceptibility testing .In the Bone
infections, Xrays, C.T scan, MRI scan, Radionuclide bone scanning or combination is also
done. This test can show the damaged area and determine how severe it is. Bone biopsy is
done to obtain a sample for testing. The sample may be removed with a needle or during
surgery. Staphylococcus aureus infections are treated with antibiotics that are effective
against MRSA which includes vancomycin linezolid, tedizolid, quinupristin plus dalfopristin,
ceftaroline, telavancin or daptomycin.Depending of the severity of the infection antibiotics
may be given for weeks. Usually, infected bone and foreign materials has to be removed
surgically to cure the infection.
Vaccine Development
The vaccine development still going on around the world, because there are different
virulence factors, and different strains are present. So still there is difficult to prepare
successful vaccine. In our lab works, various types of vaccine trails going on such as Mutant
strain inactivated vaccine, Plasmid DNA vaccine, Engineered Plasmid DNA vaccine, and Heat
shock protein vaccine. All these vaccines produce good immunity. The plasmid DNA and
their fragments produces good immune responces.The Heat shock protein induce good
immunity. If plasmid DNA is combined with Heat shock protein or any antigenic protein, it
will produce long term immunity.
Vaccine Delivery Methods
The are many methods are used in nowadays such as Intramuscular injection, Intradermal
particle Bombardment, Intranasal drops, Tattooing, Oral vaccination, Skin cream, Skin
Patches ,etc Based on the nature of the vaccine and the target number, the vaccination
method is selected. Nowadays Needle free vaccinations are followed around the world.

Abstract
Phyto-therapy is practised in most of the developing countries. Because the
traditional medicine is cheap and highly effective. In this study, four plants were selected for
latex collection and test their antifungal activity. The higher range of activity observed in
Banyan tree latex and Papaya latex. The lower plant latex observed in Erukan plant latex.
Based on this study, the Banyan and Papaya latex are recommended to preparation of
antifungal drugs.
Key words Antifungal drugs, Latex, Phytotherapy.
Introduction
Herbal medicine is most important in developing countries. This herbal
medicine traditionally saves many people life. The herbal medicine has many unexplored
bioactive compounds which destroy many dangerous pathogens. The antifungal activity
screening studies going on in many industrial laboratories. Our previous studies of antifungal
screening activity in flowers (Muruganandam and Tamizhazhan,2019a) Vegetable Oils,
( MuruganandamandTamizhazhan,2019b),MarineFishes(Muruganandam,2018),Marine
shrimp( Muruganandam et al.,2018 a),Insects(Muruganandam et al.,2018 b),etc In this study,
latex was collected from four different plants and antifungal activity was studied.
Materials and Methods
Latex is a product of higher plants. In this study, latex from four plants such as
Papaya, Erukan plant, Banyan tree, and Sapodilla were collected. Take 0.5 ml of latex milk
and add 1ml of yeast culture(,48 hours) then make up to 10ml by using 3%sterlized peptone
water. This mixture was incubated for 48 hours. One control treatment was always
maintained. After incubation, all the cells were harvested by centrifugation then biomass

production were calculated in all the treatment. Based on biomass production antifungal
activity was calculated.
Results
The maximum antifungal activity was observed in Banyan tree latex treatment
(0.22 gm).The second higher activity observed in Papaya tree latex treatment (0.67gm) .The
lowest activity was observed in Erukan plant latex (1.52gm).The control treatment has
2.31gm of biomass production. The sapodilla latex induces the fungal growth (3.43gm).In
this study, the banyan and papaya latex have best antifungal activity compared to other two
plants. So these two plants are recommended to prepare antifungal drugs.

Discussion
Natural products of higher plants may give a new source of antimicrobial agents
with possible novel mechanism of action (Hamil et al.,2003,Barbour et al.,2004.,Ramzi et
al.,2005)Latex is a important metabolic products of higher plants. It improves the survival
rate of plants. In this study, antifungal property was observed in latex of four different
plants.Phytotherapy is practiced in most of the developing countries in our globe. The herbal
medicine are cheap and lesser side effects and also universally available. The fungal skin
infection is common in developing countries. If prepare antifungal skin cream, the screening
of antifungal drug is essential step. In this study, higher antifungal activity observed in
Banyan tree latex and papaya latex treatment. The Sapodilla latex and control treatment has
lesser activity.. The Banyan and papaya latex is recommended to prepare antifungal drugs.

Screening of antifungal activity in Marine animals
M.Muruganandam, N.Thirukumari and S.Sharmila banuDept. of Zoology,Syed Ammal Arts and Science College,Ramanathapuram-623513..Email: [email protected]
Abstract
Marine organisms have many unexposed bioactive compounds. In this study, five marine
invertebrates were selected and with the help of various organic solvents extracts were
prepared. After that, antifungal activity of all the extracts was studied. The maximum activity
observed in Star fish and Sea horse compared to other animals. These antifungal compounds
are recommended to drugs preparation.
Key words: Star fish, sea horse, sea fan, Antifungal activity.
Introduction
Bioactive compounds present in most of the living organisms, which will enhance the
survival rate of the organisms. The terrestrial origin of the bioactive compounds is exposed
by many researchers in past decades. The antifungal compounds screening in marine
resources is a current research in many drug industry. However there are limited reports
present in bioactive compounds of Marine animals. Egorov (1985) reported that there is a
mixture of antimicrobial protein present in fish tissue. Muruganandam (2017) also reported
that antimicrobial peptides present in the internal organs of fish. Muruganandam et al., (2018)
also reported that Marine shrimp muscles and exoskeleton extracts contain antifungal
activity. In this study, various marine animals are collected and prepared cold extracts, then
study the antifungal activity.
Materials and methods
Marine animals develop various bioactive compounds for their survival. In this study, various
marine animals such as Star fish, Sea fan, Sponge and Red coral were collected from
Mandapam sea shore area, Ramanathapuram District., and these were shadow dried in
laboratory, After that, one gram tissue with 2ml of various organic solvent such as water,
chloroform, acetone, n-butanol, benzene and ethanol were completely mixed then collect cold
extracts were individually prepared. First take 4ml of three present peptone water with 0.5ml
Proceedings of International Seminar on Emerging Trends in Chemistry Held on 24-Jan-2020
test animal tissue extract and 0.5 ml of yeast culture (24 hours) was thoroughly mixed and
incubated up to 48 hours in room temperature. One control treatment was always
maintained .After that centrifuged and harvested the yeast cells and biomass production was
analysed individually. Based on the observation the antifungal effects were analysed.
Results
Most of the marine invertebrates contain various bioactive compounds. In this study, five
different animals were selected. In the Seafan, maximum antifungal activity was observed in
chloroform extract treatment. Very lesser activity observed in benzene extract treatment. In
the red coral, aqueous extract and benzene extract treatment has higher activity. The n-
butanol and ethanol extract has more or less equal activity. In the sponges, maximum activity
observed in acetone treatment, the benzene and n-butanol extracts have second maximum
activity. They are also more or less equal activity. In the sea horse, maximum antifungal
activity observed in n-butanol and benzene extract treatments. In the Star fish, maximum
activity was observed in ethanol extract treatment compare to all these five animals. The
control treatment has 125mg biomass production of yeast. Star fish and Sea horse extracts has
properties of bioactive compounds. So it will useful to prepare antifungal drug preparation.
Discussion
Antimicrobial compound in marine animal origin was reported at very lesser level in
literature. Antimicrobial substances identified from fish called ecomolin.It is mainly consist
of mixture of proteins.(Egorov,1985).The Callyoden fish muscle aqueous extract has very
good antifungal activity. But some marine fish like silver belly induces cell growth
(Muruganandam et al .,2019).Muruganandam (2017) was reported antimicrobial properties
present in the internal organs of fish especially higher range activity observed in brain and
muscle tissue of fish. The muscle and exoskeleton of marine shrimp contains bioactive
compounds.(Muruganandam et al.,2018) .In this study maximum antifungal activity was
observed in star fish (ethanol extract ) and Sea horse(n-butanol extract ).Most of the lower
invertebrates has very good bioactive compounds. These marine invertebrates mostly live in
bottom of the sea that region may contain more fungus due to presence of many dead,
degradable organisms. So for their survival, it may develop strong bioactive compounds of
antifungal activity.

Abstract All the spices in our traditional food items have very well anti microbial activity. in
this study, ten spicy materials were selected for analysis of antifungal activity .The maximum
activity was observed in onion especially small onion and second maximum activity
observed in big onian.The pepper, cumin, Anise and clove have more or less equal activity.
But the antifungal activity is good, very lesser activity was observed in mustard. These
compounds are recommended to prepare antifungal medicine.
Key words: Spices, Antifungal activity, Onion.
Introduction
Phototherapy is best way to treat many diseases in developing countries. The herbal
medicines are universally available and give promising cure, in the meantime very lesser
side effects. Herbal medicinal plants are easy to cultivate in our garden. The herbal medicine
has many unexposed valuable bioactive compounds. Thus they will cure many infectious
diseases. Our previous studies proves that anti fungal compounds universally present in
many parts of plant and animals sources, such as Flowers (Muruganandam and
Tamilzhazhan,2019a) Vegetable oils (Muruganandam and Tamilzhazhan,2019b) Marine
shrimp (Muruganandam et al.,2018),Marine fishes (Muruganandam.2019) etc.In this study,
ten traditionally used common spicy materials are selected for studies of antifungal activity.
Materials and methods
Ten different spices were selected then aqueous extract was prepared, First 0.5gm of spice
sample mixed with 1ml of distilled water then extract was prepared. These extracts were
individually mixed with five ml of 3% peptone water and 0.5 ml of 24 hours yeast broth.
After 48 hours incubation, biomass production was analysed, based on the biomass
production, the antifungal activity was analysed.
Proceedings of International Seminar on Emerging Trends in Chemistry Held on 24-Jan-2020
ResultsAll the spices have antifungal activity. In this stydy, maximum antifungal activity was
observed in onion especially small onion and second maximum activity observed in big
onion, Ginger and Big onion has more or less equal level of antifungal activity..The least
activity observed in Mustard and cardamum.In this work; all the spices materials have good
antifungal activity. The maximum activity present in small onion. So it is good for our health
and also all the spices are suitable for antifungal drug development.

Discussion
Most of the higher plants and their products have very good herbal medicine. Our traditional
food items have more spicy materials; all are mostly antimicrobial activity, These spicy
materials helps to avoid pathogenic microbes contamination in our digestive system. Our
traditional food items are not only food, it is also act as medicine, it will prevent many
infectious diseases. Even our edible marine Fishes (Muruganandam, 2019) and Marine
shrimp (Muruganandam et al., 2018) has good antifungal activity. In the present study, small
onion has good antifungal activity compared to other spicy materials. But White onion is
used in Chinese rational medicines for their anti microbial activity (Egorov, 1985).The
pepper, cumin, Anise and clove has very good antifungal activity. If prepare antifungal drug
based on these materials, it is very effective and it has no side effects.

Abstract
Mosquito spread many dangerous diseases in all around the world. If reduces the
mosquito population by suitable ecofriently methods, we can control disease spreading
ranges. In this study twelve common spices are used to screen mosquito larvicidal activity,
fennel and ginger has more larvicidal activity compared to other spices. Cardamom, star anise
and pepper have second range of larvicidal activity. If prepare the appropriate mix of those
spices extracts, we will develop new larvicide and control the mosquito larval population, this
control method is also ecofriently.
Keywords Biolarvicide, spices, mosquito
Introduction
In developing countries, human explosion is now uncontrolled, the environment is
not clean, everywhere waste materials not properly disposed, so the harmful vector insect
population slowly increased. These harmful insect spread many dangerous virus and parasites
to poor people, still malaria kill thousands of people in Africa, South America and some
regions of Asia. The mosquito spreading diseases are climate sensitive
(Muruganandam. 2016) If increases the environmental temperature, the mosquito population
will rise, so the number diseases cases will also rise.
If control mosquito population, we will reduce the disease burden. Chemical control
is good to reduce insect population. But very soon resistant verities will be developed. So we
will find out alternative way and these chemicals are also not ecofriendly. The biological
control is one of the best ways to reduce mosquito population. Usually larvivorous fishes are
introduced in water bodies. It will control mosquito larval population. In this study common
spices are used to screen for mosquito larvicidal activity.
Proceedings of International Seminar on Emerging Trends in Chemistry Held on 24-Jan-2020
Material and methods
Mosquito larva is purely live in aquatic environment; natural chemical compounds
are ecofriently and easily eradiate the larval population. In this study various spices were
individually taken for prepare aqueous extract. First 0.5 gm of any one spice with 3 ml of
distilled water was mixed then completely grand. After that extract was filtered. These
extract was mixed with 250 ml of water which contain ten Anophelus.sp fourth instars
mosquito larvae in glass container. All the treatment was observed in various time intervals
such as 0, 2, 4, 6, 12, and 24 hours. During observation, larval behaviour and mortality range
was recorded.
Result
Naturally all the spices have medicinal value that is why they are added in our
regular food items. Here spices effect on larval mortality was screened. In this study, among
12 spices only 8 spices have larvicidal activity, higher larvicidal activity observed in fennel
which kills the larvae within two hours. Very slow and lesser activity observed in ginger,
mustard and clove. But they kill the entire larva within 24 hours. The pepper and clove has
medium activity and more or less equal level. In these treatments all the larvae died within
six hours. After apply these extracts the larval activity was slowly decreased and finally all
are died. In the star anise treatment all the larvae died within four hours, some epically
materials such as red chills, turmeric, mint and coriander has no larvicidal activity

Discussion
Insects are only flying invertebrates. Their population is mainly climate sensitive
(Muruganandam. 2016). Many insects act as vectors for many dangerous diseases, mosquito
is one among them. Mosquito carry many dangerous virus and parasites. Still vaccine is not
discovering for many parasitic pathogens. Best example is malaria, this parasite enhances the
morbitality and mortality rate in many poor countries .Parasites has many stages in life cycle.
So vaccine development is very difficult (Muruganandam. 2019). But drugs are discovered to
eradicate these diseases.
Now a day’s antibiotics resistance pathogens population is slowly increased in all
over the world. If control the mosquito population, very soon, we will reduce the number of
cases of diseases infected persons. The chemical control is good, however if affects
environmental conditions and also it produces chemical resistant insect for avoid this
condition, biological control is best. It has no side effects and also ecofriendly. In this study
various aqueous extracts of spices are screened for larvicidal activity. The fennel aqueous
extract has very powerful larvicidal within two hours, it was kill the entire mosquito larvae.
The clove, ginger and mustard have very lesser larvicidal activity but it produces 100%.
Mortality of mosquito larvae. The pepper, clove and star arise have medium activity however,
it also produce 100% mortality of mosquito larvae. If mix more than are extract at appropriate
level, we can produce new larvicidal produced to control mosquito larvae. This product is
ecofriendly preparation cost low and preparation method is also easily. These spices are also
not harmful to our environment and our self.
