Application of snail mucin dispersed in detarium gum gel in wound healing.

Therefore, CMEs from these two snail species were somewhat effective against these pathogens, and might be useful for human health-related applications in the future, following further fractionation to isolate the active components and determination of their optimal concentrations, and whether or not they act synergistically.Īdemolu, K., Idowu, A., Mafiana, C. canaliculata showed no antibacterial activity against these bacteria. (MIC 25 µg/ml MBC >50 µg/ml) however, that from P. aureus and MRSA (MIC 12.5 µg/ml MBC >50 µg/ml), followed by S. fulica showed weak activity against all four bacterial strains, being highest against S. ![]() canaliculata displayed antibacterial activity against all four strains of Gram-positive bacteria in the agar well diffusion assay. The in vitro antibacterial activity of each CME was evaluated by the agar well diffusion method, while the broth dilution method was used to determine its minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC). canaliculata were collected, snail mucus was harvested, and a crude aqueous extract of the mucus (CME) prepared. aureus (MRSA), Staphylococcus epidermidis and Corynebacterium sp. canaliculata mucus were tested against four strains of Gram-positive bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant S. In this study, the antibacterial activity of aqueous extracts of L. These snails have rich mucus that covers their surface, which may serve in preventing moisture evaporation, reducing friction and providing resistant to infection by microorganisms. There have been many cases of snails reported to be agricultural pests in Thailand, including the important invasive pests, giant African snail, Lissachatina fulica, and the golden apple snail, Pomacea canaliculata.
