There is an alternative approach to control the
infectious diseases caused by pathogenic
bacteria especially resistant bacteria. The
present study was design to determine the
antimicrobial activities of
Kalanchoe blossfeldiana
and
Paederia foetida
plants extracts against some selected bacterial
strains as well as their bacterial potency.
K. blossfeldiana
and
P. foetida
leaves were extracted in methanol. In vitro
antibacterial activities were evaluated against
twelve bacterial strains viz.,
Streptococcus constellatus,
Staphylococcus gallinarum,
Staphylococcus sciuri,
Streptococcus iniae,
Aeromonas diversa,
Xanthomonas campestris,
Xanthomonas axonopodis,
Siccibacter colletis,
Edwardsiella anguillarum,
Aeromonas cavernicala,
Enterobacter xiangfangensis
and
Vibrio rotiferianus.
Antimicrobial activities were screened using
disc diffusion method. In addition, minimum
inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined
using serial dilution method. In antimicrobial
screening, both the plant extracts showed
highest 15 mm zone of inhibition against
Staphylococcus gallinarum
at the concentration of 20 and 15 μg/disc,
respectively. In the MIC test, both
K. blossfeldiana
and
P. foetida
leaves extracts showed the lowest MIC value of
100 μg/ml on
V. rotiferianus
and
Strept. iniae,
respectively. From the above findings, it can be
concluded that the present research information
may be helpful in the use of natural
antibacterial agent for the treatment of some
bacterial diseases.
