Keywords:
plant extracts, antibacterial activity, enteric pathogens, skin pathogensAbstract
This research aimed to study antibacterial activity of 12 plant extracts consisting of Musa (ABB Group) Thepanom fruit, M. (ABB group) Kluai Som fruit, M. (ABB group) Kluai Hak Muk fruit, M. acuminata Colla fruit, Punica granatum L. peel, Sandoricum koetjape (Burm.f.) Merr. peel, Dimocarpus longan Lour. peel and seed, Coffea arabica L. leaf, Hevea brasiliensis Müll.Arg. leaf, Terminalia catappa L. leaf, and Psidium guajava L. leaf using 95% ethanol, 70% ethanol, and distilled water. These were examined against enteric and skin pathogens (Aeromonas hydrophila TISTR 1321, Escherichia coli TISTR 117, Salmonella Typhimurium TISTR 2519, Vibrio parahaemolyticus TISTR 1596, Pseudomonas aeruginosa TISTR 2370, Staphylococcus aureus TISTR 518, and S. aureus TISTR 2329) by disc diffusion method. The results showed that all of the pathogens were inhibited by the extracts of M. (ABB Group) “Thepanom” fruit, M. (ABB group) “Kluai Hak Muk” fruit, P. granatum L. peel, S. koetjape (Burm.f.) Merr. peel, and D. longan Lour. peel and seed. The A. hydrophila TISTR 1321 showed the largest inhibition zone by P. granatum L. peel extracted by 70% ethanol (18.3±1.6 mm). The E. coli TISTR 117 showed the largest inhibition zone by M. (ABB group) “Kluai Hak Muk” fruit extracted by 95% ethanol (21.9±1.0 mm). The S. Typhimurium TISTR 2519 showed the largest inhibition zone by M. acuminata Colla fruit extracted by 70% ethanol (15.3±0.4 mm). The V. parahaemolyticus TISTR 1596 showed the largest inhibition zone by S. koetjape (Burm.f.) Merr. peel extracted by 70% ethanol (24.1±0.6 mm). The P. aeruginosa TISTR 2370 showed the largest inhibition zone by D. longan Lour. seed extracted by water (24.9±3.2 mm). The S. aureus TISTR 518 and S. aureus TISTR 2329 showed the largest inhibition zone by M. (ABB group) “Kluai Hak Muk” fruit extracted by 95% ethanol (21.3±2.1 mm and 31.6±0.6 mm, respectively). In conclusion, these plant extracts were proven to inhibit enteric and skin pathogens.
