Description

Download An in Vitro Study of the Antibacterial Properties of Selected Plant Species Found in Adamawa State, Nigeria. Natural And Environmental Sciences students who are writing their projects can get this material to aid their research work.

Abstract

The antibacterial activity of plant extracts compared to a known antibiotic (ampicillin) was evaluated against ten gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria which can infect humans.

In addition, the efficacies of different extraction methods were studied. Soxhlet, cold aqueous, and hot aqueous extractions were used in this study.

Moreover, extracts from the following plants were utilized: Zingiber officinale (ginger); and the leaves of Agave americana (agave), Musa acuminata (banana), Mangifera indica (mango), Azadirachta indica (neem), and Eucalyptus sp. (Eucalyptus).

The most antibacterial activities were observed for the extracts of Eucalyptus sp. and Mangifera indica, which inhibited 60% and 50% of the tested bacterial species, respectively.

There was significant activity against gram-positive bacteria. Agave and banana extracts, on the other hand, did not demonstrate any antibacterial activity.

Introduction

There has been a rise in antibiotic resistant bacteria over the last decade. This is mainly due to the mainstream misuse of them.What’s more is that these strains of bacteria are found where the most vulnerable people in communities are, hospitals (Wilson, et al. 2011).

The combination of weak host defenses and drug-resistant bacteria has led scientists to explore new options in antimicrobial therapy.One of these options is the plant kingdom. For millennia, plants have been used and marketed in one way or the other for a perceived ability to cure diseases.

In fact, 60,000 years ago, a plant called hollyhock was used for medicine by Neanderthals living in present-day Iraq (Cowan 1999).
