Abstract
The aim with the study was to evaluate the in vitro potential of Amburana cearensis resin for the treatment of caprine mastitis caused by Staphylococcus aureus. It was tested the resin antimicrobial activity, anti-biofilm and synergism. Bovine mammary epithelial cells (MAC-T) were used to evaluate the resin’s interference with the adhesion and invasion of the isolates and the resin cytotoxic effect. The resin showed antibacterial activity (195.3 μg/mL to 1562.5 μg mL), interfering with biofilm formation and with the mature structure. Synergism of the resin with oxacillin in the MRSA (methicillin resistant) isolate reduced the bactericidal concentration of the antibiotic. Significant reductions (p < 0.01) in adhesion and invasion of the isolates were observed. Also, there was a small reduction in cell viability, with 195.3 μg / mL representing the best minimum inhibitory concentration of the resin, reducing only 1.4 % of MAC-T viability. The results showed that the A. cearensis resin represents a possible alternative for use as an antimicrobial herbal medicine. A. cearensis resin highlights the potential of natural products in veterinary infections, which can contribute to reducing selection pressure in bacterial pathogens and also directly impact human health.
