Abstract
Comparative Analysis of Antimicrobial Activity of Herbal Extracts against Pathogenic Microbes
Highlights
The emergence of multi-drug resistant microorganisms with decreased susceptibility to antibiotics due to improper usage of broad spectrum drugs is increasing day by day globally
The present study mainly focused on Aloeveragel,Aloe veraleaf,Spinacia oleracea leaf,Zingiberofficinalerhizome, Coriandrum sativum leaf and on an Allium sativumclove to evaluate their antimicrobial properties which could provide valuable information in order to use them as therapeutic tools for control of microbial growth
The microbial strains considered for the present study are Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Streptococcus mutans, Candida albicans, Mycobacterium smegmatis and Klebsiella pneumonia.All the strains were obtained from the National Collection of Industrial Microorganisms (NCIM), Pune, Maharashtra, India
Summary
The emergence of multi-drug resistant microorganisms with decreased susceptibility to antibiotics due to improper usage of broad spectrum drugs is increasing day by day globally. Possesses synergistic effects used for remedial purposes [4] These secondary bioactive compounds have different structures with different mode of action used to control microbial growth and survival. The importance of natural products obtained from plants remains unchanged even after the developments in the field of synthetic organic chemistry and pharmacology They have been used widely as traditional medicine and when synthetic drugs are inaccessible and unaffordable [6]. Herbs and spices have been used as flavoring agents, food additives and as preservatives They are effective in eradicating the microbial population, used widely in food industries generally considered as safe. The study of bioactive compounds and the development of plant based antimicrobial drugs have gained importance in current research due to increase in demand for safe and effective drugs
