Tropidurus hispidus and Tropidurus semitaeniatus are two lizard species utilized in traditional medicine in Northeast Brazil.
Their medicinal use includes diseases related with bacterial infections such as tonsillitis and pharyngitis.
They are used in the form of teas (decoctions) for the treatment of illnesses.
In this work, we evaluated the antimicrobial activity of the decoctions of T.
hispidus (DTH) and T.
semitaeniatus (DTS) against bacterial strains, namely, standard and multiresistant Escherichia coli, Staphylococus aureus, and Pseudomonas aureuginosa, alone and in combination with aminoglycoside antibiotics.
The decoctions were prepared using the whole body of the dried lizards, and the filtrate was frozen and lyophilized.
When tested alone, the samples did not demonstrate any substantial inhibition of bacterial growth.
However, in combination with antibiotics as aminoglycosides, decoctions reduced the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of the assayed antibiotics against multiresistant strains of S.
aureus and P.
aureuginosa.
Chemical prospecting tests revealed the presence of alkaloids in DTS.
This is the first study evaluating the medicinal efficacy of T.
hispidus and T.
semitaeniatus and contributes to the list of new sources of medicines from natural products of animal origin.
