Abstract

Abstract : Alternative approaches and/or modified approaches to tackle resistance in gut microbes are need of the hour. The current study was planned to find the resistance modulation and toxicity potential of sodium alginate stabilized MgO nanoparticles and antibiotics against Escherichia coli ( E. coli ) isolated from the gut of Houbara bustard bird (n = 105 fecal samples). The preparations consisted of gel stabilized ampicillin (G+A), gel stabilized MgO and ampicillin (G+M+A), gel stabilized MgO and cefoxitin (G+M+C), gel stabilized tylosin (G+T), gel stabilized MgO and tylosin (G+M+T), and gel stabilized MgO (M+G). The fecal samples showed 53% (56/105) prevalence of E. coli which was found to be significantly (p < 0.05 ) associated with most of the assumed factors and resistant to multiple drugs. G+M+T showed the lowest (4.883 ± 0.00 μ g/mL) minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) followed G+M+C, G+M+A, G+A, M+G, and G+T. Significant reduction (p < 0.05 ) in MIC with respect to incubation interval found at the 16 th hr for G+M+A, G+A, and G+M+C that further remained nonsignificant (p > 0.05 ) onwards until the 24 th hr of incubation. In the case of G+T and M+G, significant reduction in MIC was found at the 20 th hr and 24 th hr of incubation. Ecotoxicology and histopathology trials on snails showed mild changes in MICs of the preparations. The study thus concluded increasing drug resistance in E . coli of houbara bird while sodium alginate stabilized MgO nanoparticles and antibiotics were effective alternative antibacterial composites with mild toxicity.
