Abstract:
Mangroves are a promising source of antimicrobials owing to the bioavailability of genes, plant metabolites and biological diversity. Mangroves are known for their many biological properties, such as antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral and anti-cancer activities etc. Besides mangroves, the microbes associated with mangroves are called endophytes, which are proven effective antimicrobials and are also well-known for their many other pharmacological properties. Mangrove extracts coated with nanoparticles exhibit better antimicrobial activity due to their easy absorption and distribution properties. The antimicrobial activity of mangroves is due to the presence of abundant phenolic and flavonoid compounds, especially tannins, and to the antioxidant property of the bioactive substances present in the mangroves. Thus, mangroves have a great bioprospecting potential for developing the most potent antimicrobials to treat pathogenic bacteria, viruses and fungi. This chapter deals with the antibacterial, anti-viral, anti-mycotic, anti-virulence and anti-biofilm properties of mangrove extracts and mangrove endophytes against various pathogenic and multidrug-resistant microbes. In addition, patenting of natural compounds from mangroves and their endophytes, as well as metabolomics and proteomics, are also discussed in this chapter.<br>

Abstract:
Antimicrobial activity is defined as the ability to destroy or inhibit the growth of microorganisms. Antimicrobial compounds are naturally occurring or synthetic organic compounds having antimicrobial activity. Recently, scientists have discovered many pharmaceutically active compounds that have antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral and antiprotozoal activities in seaweeds. To thrive in various environmental stresses, seaweed produces different metabolites such as polyphenols, polysaccharides, proteins, fatty acids, and pigments. These bioactive compounds are responsible for the antimicrobial activity exerted by seaweed. The antimicrobial activity of seaweed is influenced by various factors, such as the type of seaweed extract used, the target microorganisms, and the environmental conditions. The composition of the bioactive compounds from seaweed may depend on the extraction method and the solvent. It also depends on the seaweed sample, such as fresh or dried sample. Different mechanisms are followed by seaweed extract to acquire antimicrobial activities. Seaweed extracts exhibit various inhibition mechanisms, including disruption of the cell membrane, inhibition of target microorganism enzymes, and prevention of microorganism association with cellular receptors of the host cell. The location, salinity, temperature, etc. of the marine environment may affect the chemical composition of the bioactive compounds present in the seaweeds. The antimicrobial activity of seaweed can be evaluated in both in vitro and in vivo assays. Antimicrobial susceptibility tests and antimicrobial resistance tests are carried out by in vitro methods. The antimicrobial activity of seaweed can be a promising source in many applications, such as therapeutic applications, food industries, aquaculture, and biofouling.

Abstract:
There is an urgent need to search for effective novel antibiotics due to the evolution of pathogen resistance towards the existing anti-microbial drugs. To fulfill the demand of pharmaceutical industries for novel drugs against pathogenic microbes, the potential source is nature, which is the largest repertoire for discovering biologically active drugs. Among the natural products, mushrooms are primary sources of diverse low and high-molecular-weight compounds that demonstrate anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-parasitic and anti-viral activities. Mushrooms belonging to basidiomycetes or ascomycetes were classified into edible and non-edible and had high nutritive and medicinal properties due to the presence of bioactive compounds. The most common edible mushrooms comprise Agaricus bisporus, Lentinus, Auricularia. Hericium, Grifola, Flammulina, Pleurotus, and Tremella are potent sources of vitamins (thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, biotin and ascorbic acid, Vitamin A and D), lipids (mono, di, and triglycerides, sterols, phospholipids) and polysaccharides whereas non-edible mushrooms Ganoderma lucidum (Reishi), Lentinus edodes (Shiitake), Inonotus obliquus (Chaga), Ganoderma, Trametes, Cordyceps spp., etc., are potent sources of alkaloids, terpenoids, steroids, anthraquinones, benzoic acid derivatives, and quinolines. The literature review suggests that mushrooms showed high anti-microbial activities against Gram-positive bacteria (Bacillus spp., Listeria monocytogenes, Micrococcus spp., Staphylococcus spp. etc.) and Gram-negative bacterial species (Escherichia coli,Klebsiella spp. or Salmonella sp) as well as anti-fungal (Candida spp., Aspergillus spp., Penicillium spp. etc.) and anti-viral (HIV-I, influenza) activities. The present chapter highlighted the mushrooms showing anti-microbial activity, techniques for appraisal of anti-microbial activity, anti-microbial bioactive compounds and last but not least, the downstream process of some selected compounds originally isolated from mushrooms.

Abstract:
The natural environment acts as the largest ‘bio-laboratory” of yeast, algae, fungi, plants etc., which are used as an abundant source of biomolecules. These different biomolecules play vital roles in the formation of different biogenic metals or metalloid nanoparticles. Recently, the overburden from the different microbial diseases has increased rapidly in different application sectors, viz., drug delivery, DNA analysis, cancer treatment, antimicrobial agents, water treatment and biosensor and catalysts, as a result of multipurpose work occurrence globally. The indiscriminate and arbitrary use of antibiotics in clinical practice has spurred the emergence of potentially life.threatening multidrug-resistant pathogens. In the quest for novel antimicrobial agents, the current interest is to develop potent antimicrobial agents which exhibit broad.spectrum bactericidal activity and possess a mechanism of action that does not readily favor the development of resistance. The use of nanoscale materials as bactericidal agents represents a novel paradigm in antibacterial therapeutics. Actually, eco-friendly, sustainable modern approaches, such as green syntheses of different biogenic metals or metalloid nanoparticles, are cost-effective and environment-friendly, and they are used as strong antimicrobial agents. This chapter focuses on synthesizing biogenic metal or metalloid nanoparticles with special emphasis on microbial synthesis, particularly from yeast, bacteria, algae, fungi, plants extract, etc. Finally, a detailed description of the biosynthesis mechanism using different green sources, along with their antimicrobial activity and mode of action, has been presented.

Semecarpus anacardium is classified in Ayurveda under the category of toxic plants. However, this toxic plant is reported to possess anti-inflammatory activity, anti-arthritic effect, antioxidant activity, antimicrobial activity, anti- carcinogenic activity, hypoglycemic activity, cardioprotective, hepatoprotective, neuroprotective, and hypolipidemic activity etc. All these activities are attributed to its various constituents like phenolic compounds, flavonoids, carbohydrates, alkaloids, steroids, etc. In Ayurveda, a series of pharmaceutical procedures which converts a poisonous drug into a safe and therapeutically effective medicine is termed as Shodhana. Shodhana improves the yield, decreases the phenolic and flavonoid content; and converts toxic urushiol into nontoxic anacardol derivative thereby reducing toxicity of nuts of Semecarpus anacardium. There are reports of alteration in pharmacology and phytochemistry of nuts of Semecarpus anacardium due to Shodhana.

Abstract:
Treatment of microbial infections has become more challenging with the evolution of antibiotic resistant microbes and indiscriminate use of antibiotics. Several phytochemicals have shown potential inhibitory action against such microbes. These antimicrobials have shown their efficacy in treating such infections. These natural products also played significant role in restoration of activity of less effective antibiotics, when used in combination with antibiotics. But still, scientists are facing some major challenges in using such metabolites for medicines- there is urgent need to explore more plants showing microbial inhibition activity, plant products from field grown plants are not sufficient to meet the growing demand and purification of antimicrobial compounds, so that dosage for patients can be finalized. Tissue culture has emerged as great technology not only in the conservation of such medicinal plants but it provides major application for the production of secondary metabolites. Various micropropagules such as calli, in vitro cultures, and cell suspensions have shown their potential for the production of pharmaceutically active compounds similar to mature plants. Production of such phytochemicals can be enhanced by manipulating media supplements, culture conditions and elicitations. As, in nature production of antimicrobials is the result of interaction between the plants and microbes, therefore, such interaction can be provided to in vitro cultures by biotic elicitation. In vitro production of antimicrobial compounds has been reported in many plants such as Ricinus communis, Calendula officinalis, Abrus precatorius, etc. Thus, plant tissue culture paves an efficient and feasible method of production of such natural compounds as an alternative of antibiotics.

Abstract:
Quinoline-sulfonamide-complexes with variously metals, especially M2+, are a relatively new class of compounds with potential practical interest as fluorescent materials (having fotoluminiscent properties) and also as drugs (having a large variety of biological activities such as antibacterial, antifungal, antiprotozoals, etc.). The emphasis of this work was to obtain hybrid quinoline – sulfonamide - complexes with antimicrobial activity. The synthesis of the hybrid derivatives is direct and efficient, in two steps: acylation of variously amino-quinoline followed by metal complexation with dif

Abstract:
Chitosan (poly[β-(1-4)-2-amino-2-deoxy-d-glucopyranose]) is a non-toxic and biocompatible cationic polysaccharide produced by partial deacetylation of chitin isolated from naturally occurring crustacean shells. Its low solubility limits its application, improving the solubility by reducing the molecular weight, increases its wide application in food, agriculture, pharmaceutical and other technical applications. Low molecular weight chitosan, acts as a potent biotic elicitor, induce plant defense responses, activating different pathways that increase the crop resistance to diseases. Antimicrobi

Abstract:
Wound healing is a multiphase and multifactorial physiological process. The complexity of this phenomenon makes the healing process very difficult and painful due to several abnormalities. Apart from cellular and biochemical components, a number of external pathways also become active during repair and help the tissue to heal. Wound dressing is one of the main external effectors during the healing process of wounds. Wound is the disruption of the integrity of anatomical tissues caused by exposure to any factor [1-2]. The following characteristics are required for ideal modern wound dressings:
