Abstract

Antimicrobial resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium bovis remains a major challenge in human and veterinary medicine, emphasizing the importance of identifying novel therapeutic compounds. This study aimed to predict the most promising secondary metabolite of Physalis angulata as a quinol–cytochrome c reductase subunit B (QcrB) inhibitor using an in silico approach. Sequence alignment of QcrB proteins from M. tuberculosis and M. bovis demonstrated complete sequence identity, indicating that compounds targeting QcrB in M. tuberculosis may exhibit comparable binding behavior toward QcrB in M. bovis. Among 51 identified metabolites, nine satisfied drug-likeness and safety criteria and underwent molecular docking analysis. Docking simulations predicted that four metabolites occupied the QcrB binding pocket, with withaphysanolide A exhibiting the most favorable interaction profile based on predicted binding free energy and correspondence with reference residues. Absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) analysis predicted favorable pharmacokinetic and safety-related characteristics for withaphysanolide A. However, these findings should be interpreted in light of several limitations, including the use of rigid docking and the absence of molecular dynamics simulations. Collectively, the results suggest that withaphysanolide A may represent a promising QcrB inhibitor candidate for further investigation, although in vitro and in vivo validation remains necessary.

Abstract

Antimicrobial resistance has become a major global health concern affecting humans, animals, and the environment. The increasing occurrence of antibiotic resistant bacteria threatens the effectiveness of antimicrobial therapy and poses serious public health risks. This review aims to describe the occurrence and distribution of antimicrobial resistant Escherichia coli across humans, animals, wildlife, and environmental sources using a One Health perspective. A literature review approach was conducted by collecting scientific articles published between 2015 and 2025 from international and national databases including PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar. Articles were selected based on relevance to antimicrobial resistance in Escherichia coli within human, animal, and environmental contexts. The reviewed studies indicate that Escherichia coli isolates frequently show resistance to commonly used antibiotics such as ampicillin, tetracycline, fluoroquinolones, and third generation cephalosporins. Multidrug resistant strains and extended spectrum beta lactamase producing bacteria have been reported in clinical samples, livestock, companion animals, wildlife, and environmental samples including wastewater and river water. These findings highlight the interconnected nature of antimicrobial resistance transmission between humans, animals, and the environment. Integrated surveillance and responsible antibiotic use are essential to control the spread of antimicrobial resistance through the One Health approach
