In Vitro Antimicrobial Activity Screening of Maclura pomifera Fruits Against Wide Range of Microorganisms
Journal Title: International Journal of Pharmaceutical Science Invention - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 8
Abstract
The use of plants as medicine has been practiced from ancient time in World. In developing country, traditional herbs have critical significance for disease treatment and they aid to detect novel antibiotics.Maclurapomifera(Raf.) C.K.Schneid, commonly known as the Osage orange, is a tree of the Moraceae or mulberry family. There are antimicrobial researches about M. pomifera in the literature and results are promising.Therefore fruits of this medical plant investigated against 21 microorganisms by using disk diffusion method according to show its antimicrobial potential more clearly. A wide range of Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria and yeast were selected to test the antimicrobial effect of M. pomifera. Most of these strains are standard, some of the strains are food isolated and the rest are clinic isolated. These microbial species are Bacillus subtilis DSMZ 1971, Enterecoccusfaecalis ATCC 29212, Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 7644, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Staphylococcus epidermidis DSMZ 20044, Enterobacter aerogenes ATCC 13048, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Pseudomonas aeruginosa DSMZ 50071, Pseudomonas fluorescens P1, Salmonella enteritidis ATCC 13075, Salmonella typhimurium SL1344, Candida albicans DSMZ 1386, Enterococcus durans, Enterecoccusfaecium, Listeria innocua, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Salmonella infantis, Salmonella kentucky, Staphylococcus aureus (CI), Escherichia coli (CI) and Proteus vulgaris (CI). The results were presented that M. pomiferafruits ethanol extract has antimicrobial activity against all tested microbial strains.
