Antimicrobial effects of pterocarpus santalinoides and senna alata on some human pathogens.
ABSTRACT
Antimicrobial effects of Pterocarpus
santalinoides and Senna alata on some pathogens (Escherchia coli, Staphylococccus
aureus and Micros porum audouinii) were carried out. Different solvents used
for the extraction of the plant were Aqueous (cold) and ethanol. The minimium
inhibitory concentration (MIC) of Aqueous (cold) of Senna alata extract showed
inhibition on Staphylococcus aureus and Microsporum audouinii were 0.025mg/ml
and 0.625mg/ml respectively and none on Escherichia coli.The aqueous ·(cold)
extract of Pterocarpus santalinoides showed inhibition . on Staphylococcus
aureus and Escherichia coli at the MIC of 0.25mg/ml and none on Microsporum
audouinii while the MIC of its ethanol extract on Staphylococcus aureus and
Escherichia coli was-0.25mg/ml and 0.125mg/ml respectively. The MIC of aqueous
(cold) extract of Pterocarpus santalinoides on Staphylococcus aureus and
Escherichia coli was 0.25mg/ml while no ' inhibition was shown on Microsporum
audouinii. This justifies· therapeutic uses of Pterocarpus santalinoides and
Senna alata. Further investigations can combine the plant extracts for possible
synergetic effects
