Determination of Maximum Inhibitory Dilutions of Bamboo Pyroligneous Acid Against Pathogenic Bacteria from Companion Animals: An in Vitro Study
Journal Title: Journal of Veterinary Advances - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 11
Abstract
We determined the maximum inhibitory dilutions (MID) of bamboo pyroligneous acid (BPA) against 104 Escherichia Coli, 112 Staphylococcus Pseudintermedius and 58 Pseudomonas Aeruginosa strains isolated from dogs and cats. The MID was determined by inoculating each strain on agar containing serial dilutions of BPA. The MIDs for BPA against S. pseudintermedius, E. coli and P. aeruginosa were 103.4 ± 7.41 (100–150), 109.4 ± 3.64 (100–120) and 147.2 ± 8.87 (140–160) -fold, respectively. Our results indicated that BPA have significant effects on inhibiting the growth of representative bacterial pathogens from companion animals, although the inhibition differed among species.
