ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY OF Dialium cochinchinensis Pierre ETHANOL EXTRACT

Abstract

Bacterial infections are a major cause of pathogens in humans. Additionally, antibiotic resistance has become a growing concern. Two approaches have been proposed to address these issues: investigating the mechanism of resistance transmission and developing new antibiotics. The purpose of this study was to determine the lethality of Dialium cochinchinensis ethanol seed extract against a variety of pathogenic bacteria. The agar diffusion assay was used to determine the bacterial sesitive and then the MIC and MBC were determined. The seed extract demonstrated a high level of resistance to gram-positive microorganisms, with MIC (mg/mL) values of 3,13; 4,17 ± 1,04; 2,60 ± 0,52; 0,59 ± 0,11; 4,17 ± 1,04 for S. aureus 6538; S. aureus 25923; R. equi 6939; B. cereus 46 và L. monocytogenes 13932, respectively.
