Phyto-activity of Syzygium aromaticum extract against pathogenic bacteria isolated from chronic tonsilitis patients

Abstract

Because of its antibacterial and antioxidant characteristics, the naturally occurring spice Syzygium aromaticum (Clove) is used as a medicine and a preservative. Although it is said to have originated in Indonesia, clove is now grown in numerous coastal regions at higher altitudes all over the world. Clove has been used for ages for its medicinal properties, which have been shown effective against a wide variety of illnesses. Clove has been found to be effective as an antibiotic, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, stress-reducing, interoceptive, and anesthetic. Clove's larvicidal efficacy against dengue is a novel use. Extraction of clove's volatile oil has found commercial usage in the creation of pharmaceutical, nutritional, and personal care products. Eugenol is a crucial phenolic molecule found in clove oil's various phytoconstituents. With regard to the issues raised, this study carried for detection activity of clove on pathogenic S. aureus and S. pyogen isolated from patients with chronic tonsillitis. The present study noted that the activity of methanolic extract was higher than that of aqueous extract in all concentrations except for the 1% concentration, that had no activity against both bacteria. Also, it was noted that the S. aureus had higher susceptibility than S. pyogen for both extracts.
