Antimicrobial Activity Of Combretum Erythrophylum And Nauclea Latifolia On Some Clinical Isolates
ABSTRACT
The comparative studies of extracts of leaves,
of Combretum erythrophylum and Nauc/ea latifolia with respect to their
phytochemical and antimicrobial properties was carried out. Preliminary
screening for phytochemical components showed that both plants had similar
constituents, namely tannins, alkaloids, saponins and phenols, but variable
proportions of flavonoids. The antimicrobial screening of the water and
ethanolic extracts of the various plants materials were carried out against
clinical isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumonias, Escherichia
coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumonia and Candida •
albicans. Ethanolic extracts were more potent than aqueous extracts showing
inhibition zone diameters of 9-10mm and activity were concentration dependent
Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumonia were more sensitive to the
ethanolic extracts of both plants as indicated by zone diameters of 9mm and I
Omm,respectively.
