摘要: Chloroformic extracts of selected Thai medicinal plants commonly employed to treat infections were investigated for their antibacterial activity against important foodborne pathogenic bacteria. These included Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella Typhi and Shigella sp. Among 33 tested, only chloroformic five plant species exhibited properties. Alpinia galanga, Boesenbergia rotunda, Zingiber zerumbet Piper betel active aureus. Barleria lupulina was B. cereus. Only the extract from P. leaves possessed gram-negative As three belonging family Zingiberaceae displayed strong they further tested 17 clinical isolates. Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values A. galanga Z. most isolates 0.01, 0.19 0.79 mg/mL minimum bactericidal (MBC) 0.19, 1.57 12.5 mg/mL, respectively. Significant growth inhibition MRSA observed in cultures incubated presence rotunda extract, zerumbet. greatest among at MIC, 2MIC MBC within 2 h.
