Screening of plants with antimicrobial activity against enterobacteria, Pseudomonas spp. and Staphylococcus spp

Aim: This study screened plants for antibacterial properties against bacteria of medical importance. Materials & methods: 60 extracts were obtained from the leaves of ten plants ( Jatropha weddelliana, Attalea phalerata, Buchenavia tomentosa, Croton doctoris, Mouriri elliptica, Mascagnia benthamiana, Senna aculeata, Unonopis guatterioides, Allagoptera leucocalyx and Bactris glaucescens ) using different extraction methods: A) Ethanol 70°C/72 h; B) Water/5 min/100°C; C) Water/1 h/55°C; D) Water/72 h; E) Hexane/72 h and F) Ethanol 99°C/72 h. Enterobacteria/ Pseudomonas and staphylococci reference strains and 201 clinical isolates were used. Primary screening was done using agar well-diffusion assay. MIC/minimum bactericidal concentration and chemical characterization were determined. Results: Extracts 5F and 3A showed the best MIC/minimum bactericidal concentration against clinical isolates and showed the presence of phenols. Conclusion: The present study demonstrated that Mouriri elliptica and Buchenavia tomentosa were the most active plants against the studied bacteria..
