Antibacterial Activity of Citrus Aurantifolia Leaves
Extracts Against Some Enteric Bacteria of Public
Health Importance by Muhammad Ali
|
The study was conducted to determine the phytochemical composition and
antibacterial activity of Citrus aurantifolia leaves
extracts against clinical isolates of some enteric bacteria of public
health importance. The result of phytochemical screening of the
leaves extracts shows the presence of alkaloid, glycoside, saponin,
tannin, flavonoid, steroids, terpenoid and phenol. The result
of antibacterial efficacy of the extracts against the isolates indicated
that the extracts were active against the isolates with higher
activity in ethanol extract (with average zone of inhibition of 14.91mm)
when compared to aqueous extract (12.67mm). The result
of susceptibility of the isolates to the extracts showed Shigella was
more sensitive to the extract with average zone of inhibition of
14.90mm, followed by Klebsiella (14.49mm), Escherichia coli (13.77mm)
and Salmonella typhi with average zone of inhibition of
12.01mm.
