Antibacterial. Activities Of Sida Acuta Leaf Plant Extract On Some Pathogenic Organisms
ABSTRACT
Many human pathogens require serious
attention in developing countries like Nigeria. The antibacterial activity of
leaf extract of Sica acuta were evaluated using five clinical isolate namely
Escherichia co/i, Staph /ococc us atireus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella
typhi and Kiebsie//ci pneumonicl. The solvents used for the extraction of
active ingredients of' the plant leaf were ethanol, methanol and water. The
antibacterial effect of the leaf extract showed that the organic and aqueous
solvents were resistant to Pseua'omonas ael'uginosa and Kiebsiella pneun/onia.
l'he Minimum Inhibitory Concentration value of the extracts on the organism
ranged between 12.5 and 25mg1ni1 for S. aureus. 50 and 25mg1m1 for S. Iijhi and
1 2.5 and 25mg1m1 for F. coli. Phytochemical screening of' the extract revealed
the presence of phenol, tannins. Saponis. fiavonoids. steroids. Alkaloid and
the absence of Cyanogenic glycosides. 'Ihe strong activity of the extract
against known etiologic agent of diseases traditionally treated with Sida acuta
leaf' provides scientific justifications for the use of the herb in
ethnomedical practice in Nigeria.
