Salvia officinalis or Sage (The “Salvation Plant”) is known to have various health benefits. Salvia officinalis has been known to treat menstrual cycle pains, gastroenteritis problems, improve liver function, as well as in applications for anticancer remedies and neurodegenerative diseases. This fragrant plant is most often found in the Mediterranean, Southeast Asia, and South America. This research aims to test the raw and vinegar-baked medicinal plant to investigate the change in its chemistry and its biological effect. The plant was purchased as dry leaves and stems. It was then grounded and extracted. The extractions were done via a Soxhlet extraction …

Streptococcus mutans JH1140 is a strain of bacteria which produces a lantibiotic product, named mutacin 1140. Mutacin 1140 has been shown to be effective at inhibiting Gram-positive bacterial infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae. Mutacin 1140 is a ribosomally synthesized peptide antibiotic that undergoes extensive posttranslational modifications (PTM). We have found that Mutacin 1140 and an aminoglycoside, Kanamycin, when combined together, act synergistically against Staphylococcus aureus. This was determined by performing serial kill curve dilution overlays on solid media, followed up with kill curve by microdilution plate, and most recently confirmed with kill curve CFU count plates …
