The antibacterial activity of hemolymph of spider, Agelena labyrinthica (Araneae: Agelenidae)

Abstract

Antibiyotiklere dirençli mikroorganizmaların sayısı her geçen gün artığından dolayı, tarımda ve tıpta bu dirençli mikroorganizmalarla mücadele etmek için yeni ve etkili antimikrobiyal ajanlara ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Antibiyotikler için alternatif bir kaynak olarak düşünülen Agelena labyrinthica (Clerck, 1757) (Araneae: Agelenidae)’nın hemolenfi 10 bakteri suşuna karşı test edilmiş ve 10 suştan 5 tanesi hemolenfe duyarlı olarak bulunmuştur. Duyarlı bakteri suşları: Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Shigella sp., Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus’dur. Sonuçlar, örümcek hemolenfinin antibakteriyal etkiye sahip olduğunu göstermiştir. Bu çalışma A. labyrinthica hemolenfinin antibakteriyal etkisi üzerine yapılan ilk çalışmadır
