Antimicrobial Testing The compounds of invention showed in vitro antibacterial activity when tested by the Agar Dilution Method as specified in documents published by the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS), USA. Briefly, the compounds of invention were weighed, dissolved in Dimethyl Sulfoxide, serially diluted in the same solvent and then incorporated into molten Mueller Hinton Agar in a petridish before solidification, with each petridish containing a different concentration of a compound. The Bacterial Inoculum was prepared by touching the tops of 3 to 5 well isolated bacterial colonies with the same morphological appearance from an 18 hour old culture with an inoculating loop, transferring the growth to a tube containing 5ml of normal saline and adjusting the turbidity of the saline suspension to 0.5 Macfarland Turbidity Standard equivalent to a bacterial population of 1.5 x 108 colony forming units (CFU) per milliliter of suspension.
The bacterial inoculum prepared in the above manner was inoculated onto petri dishes containing Mueller Hinton Agar which had earlier been incorporated with different dilutions of the compounds of invention by a
Multipoint Inoculator with each inoculum spot containing approximately 1 x 104 colony forming units (CFU) of bacteria. The inoculated pefridishes were incubated at 35°Celsius in an ambient atmosphere for 20 hours. Pefridishes containing different concentrations of
Nancomycin and Oxacillin and inoculated with Staphylococcus aureus,
Coagulase Negative Staphylococci and Enterococci were incubated for 24 hours. The petridishes after incubation, were placed on a dark non reflecting surface and the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) recorded as the concentration which showed no growth of the inoculated culture. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (μg/ml) were obtained for representative compounds of the invention are given in the table 1 :
