Abstract
A series of 28 hydrazide-hydrazones of 3-methoxybenzoic and 4-tert-butylbenzoic acid were synthesized and screened in vitro against the panel of reference strains of bacteria and fungi with the use of the broth microdilution method according to EUCAST and CLSI guidelines. Five of the synthesized compounds were found to exhibit high bacteriostatic or bactericidal activity against Gram-positive bacteria. The antimicrobial activity of compounds 13, 14, and 16 against Bacillus spp. was higher than that of commonly used antibiotics, like cefuroxime or ampicillin.
