  • The in vitro and in vivo antibacterial activities of DWQ-217 (1-cyclopropyl-6-fluoro-8-chloro-7-(3-amino-4-methylthiomethylpyrrolidinyl )-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-quinoline-3-carboxylic acid) were compared with those of ciprofloxacin (CPFX) and vancomycin(VCM). DWQ-217 was superior to those of CPFX and VCM against gram positive bacteria. DWQ-217 showed excellent activity against MRSA (MIC of methicillin; $\geq$12.5 $\mu\textrm{g}$/ml), MIC$_{90}$=0.013. DWQ-217 possessed strong bactericidal action against gram positive and gram negative strains by MIC/MBC test and killing curve. DWQ-217 and CPFX were administered orally and subcutaneously to mice infected systematically with S. aureus and S. pyogenes, DWQ-217 was $\geq$5-16 fold(p.o.) and $\geq$3-5 fold(s.c.) more active than CPFX.

  • The purpose of this study was to investigate the antimicrobial effects of Australia propolis against cariogenic and periodontopathic bacteria. Antimicrobial activity was determined by evaluating the minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC). Cell cytotoxicity of propolis extract on normal human gingival fibroblast (HGF-1) cells was observed using the methylthiazolyldiphenyl-tetrazolium bromide assay. The data indicated that, with the exception of Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (KCOM 1306), the MBC values of the propolis strains were 0.25-1% without HGF-1 cell cytotoxicity. These results suggest that propolis can be used to develop oral hygiene products for the prevention of oral infectious disease.
