Overview

Randomized trial evaluates antibacterial and cytotoxic activities of hop isolates against different pathogens, suggesting new feed additives.

Key Points

  • This study aims to assess the correlation patterns between antibacterial and cytotoxic activities of various hop isolates against specific bacteria and chicken cells.
  • Evaluated five hop isolates using a two-dimensional checkerboard assay.
  • Classified interactions as additive, synergistic, or antagonistic using fractional inhibitory concentrations (∑FIC).
  • Assessed selectivity indices for antibacterial versus cytotoxic effects.
  • Combinations against B. subtilis were predominantly additive (∑FIC = 0.89–1.15).
  • M. luteus exhibited both synergistic (humulone + lupulone, ∑FIC = 0.43) and antagonistic (isohumulone + isoxanthohumol, ∑FIC = 1.53) interactions.
  • Humulone-lupulone showed a selectivity index of 3.2 for M. luteus, indicating favorable antibacterial selectivity.
