RESUMO

Antimicrobial resistance has silently turned into one of the biggest threats to global health, marking the fall of the Golden age of antibiotics. In the search for antibiotic replacement or enhancement, plant-derived natural compounds have attracted lots of interest. Even though firmly believed, the low-resistance tendency of pathogenic bacteria against plant extracts has been scarcely demonstrated. In this study, we investigated the antibacterial activities of diethyl ether extracts from six medicinal plants grown in Viet Nam against Staphylococcus aureus and its variants, which were in vitro adapted to the same extracts. After 30 passages of S. aureus growing under sub-lethal concentrations of plant extracts or antibiotics, the bacteria slowly adapted to the extracts while rapidly resisting the antibiotics. Most of the resulting strains obtained from the adaptation to plant extracts were collaterally sensitive to antibiotics. In contrast, antibiotic-adapted strains showed cross-resistance to both antibiotics and extracts. The findings provided evidence of the low-resistance tendency of S. aureus to antimicrobial plant extracts. It is the first time a collateral antibiotic sensitivity of S. aureus adapted to natural compounds has been observed, suggesting an alternative approach to fight antibiotic resistance.
