Antimicrobial Activity Of Psidium Guajava And Cymbopogon Citratus Leaves Extracts Against Staphylococcus Aureus And Escherichia Coil.
ABSTRACT
The antimicrobial activity of aqueous
and ethanolic extracts of Psidium guajava (guava) and Cymbopogon citratus
(lemon grass) was evaluated against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli
using disc diffusion and broth dilution methods to determine the diameter of
zone of inhibition and minimum inhibitory concentration of the extracts. The
ethanolic extracts of Cymbopogon citratus showed a diameter zone of inhibition
of 20mm against Escherichia coli at 100jg/ml while the diameter zone inhibition
of the aqueous extracts of Psidium guajava against Staphylococcus aureus was
12mm. The minimum inhibitory concentration of the ethanolic extracts of
Cymbopogon citratus against Staphylococcus aureus was 6.5 jig/mi.
