Antimicrobial Properties Of Elaies Guineensis (Palm Oil Tree) Bark Against Microbes Isolated From Patients With Dental Problem
ABSTRACT
Antimicrobial properties of
Elaies guineensis bark against microbes isolated from patients with dental
problem was investigated. The ethanolic and aqueous (hot and cold) extracts of
the bark of E. guineensis were after extraction tested on three organisms (S.
mutans, S. aureus, E. colz) isolated from dental swabs of dental problem
patients alter culturing the ethanolic extract showed the highest potency against
all the isolates within the range of 14.5mm17mm followed by the hot water
extract within the range of 10.2mm- 14.1mm, while the cold water extract showed
the least activity within the range of 8mm-1O.2mm. This study revealed that
there are some bioactive compounds in the bark of E. guineensis capable of
inhibiting the growth of organisms, hence can be recommended for therapeutic
purpose.
