The Antibacterial Activity Of Leaf Extracts Of Ocimum Gratissimum And Sida Acuta
ABSTRACT
The antibacterial activities of
ethanolic and aqueous extracts of Sida acuta and Ocimum gratissimum on
Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus faecalis and Pseudomonas
aeruginosa were detennined using disc diffusion assays. All the extracts exhibited
moderate to high level of inhibition against the four microorganisms. The
antibacterial activities were measured by the diameter zone of inhibition, in
which ethanolic extracts or Sida acuta exhibit the highest yield which is 18mm
and the lowest yield in aqueous (cold) is 10mm. Also on Ocimum gratissimum
ethanol extract is 15mm while the lowest on aqueous (cold) extract 7mm. The
minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) is 0.125mg/ml on both plant extracts
using the ethanol extracts by Staphylococcus aureus. The antibacterial effect
of aqueous (cold) and ethanolic extracts of Sida acuta I ' and Ocimum
gratissimum were positive on both the four microorganism and the minimum
inhibitory concentration (MIC) were also positive on gram positive and gram negative
organisms. This research is discussed in relation to the acceptable herbal
medicines as a means of disease control.
