Abstract
AIM: To examine the in vitro bacteriostatic effect of berberine, emodin, schisandra, and baicalin on multiple drug resistant (MDR) strains of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) to provide an experimental basis for clinical killing of these MDR strains.
METHODS: After culturing and isolating forty-six H. pylori strains, the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of amoxicillin, clarithromycin, levofloxacin, tetracycline and metronidazole for the isolated strains were determined by agar dilution method to screen MDR strains. The MICs of berberine, emodin, schisandra, and baicalin for MDR strains were then determined.
RESULTS: Six MDR strains were identified. The MICs of berberine, emodin, schisandra, and baicalin for different MDR strains were not identical, and their ranges were: berberine 12.5 mg/mL, emodin 50-200 mg/mL, baicalin 25-200 mg/mL, and schisandra 50-100 mg/mL.
CONCLUSION: Each of berberine, emodin, schisandra, and baicalin has an appreciated inhibitory effect on MDR strains in vitro, and the effect of berberine is more significant.
