“…Thes authors obtained significant antimicrobial activity on Candida albicans and Escherichia coli among others. Rahmoun et al [18] showed that extracts of the same plant inhibit the in vitro growth of several germs including Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Candida albicans, and Escherichia coli ATCC25922 with MICs ranging from 175 to 0.35 mg/mL.…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial potential and perform the phytochemical screening of ethanolic (70%) leaf extracts of Bauhinia rufescens and Ocimum basilicum and root extracts of Salvadora persica, three plants used for the treatment of numerous diseases in Chad. The extraction of the plants was made in a ratio of 70% volume of ethanol against 30% volume of distilled water. The yields obtained in the extraction of the leaves of Bauhinia rufescens, Ocimum basilicum, and Salvadora persica roots were respectively 20, 17, and 8.8%. With the disc diffusion method, the results of the antimicrobial assessment revealed that Bauhinia rufescens leaf extracts were active against Escherichia coli, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Salmonella typhi, Salmonella typhi ATCC 35723, and Shigella dysenteriae with inhibition zones ranging between 20.500.2 and 100.14. Ocimum basilicum leaf extracts and Salvarora persica root extracts showed activities against Escherichia coli, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, and Salmonella typhi with inhibition diameters ranging from 18.650.32 to 10.550.1 mm at 100 mg/mL. With the broth microdilution method, all the extracts of the three plants showed effectiveness against all the bacteria and fungi tested in this study with Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations ranging from 100 to 6.25 mg/mL and Minimum Bactericidal Concentrations also ranging from 100 to 6.25 mg/mL. A time-kill assay was also carried out in order to follow the activities of Bauhinia rufescens, the most active plant as function of time. After 45 min, the extracts completely inhibeted the growth of Salmonella typhi and after an h, bactericidal effects were observed against Escherichia coli and Shigella dysenteriae. The phytochemical screening on the hydro-ethanol extracts of three plants identified polyphenols, alkaloids, saponins, flavonoids and terpenes/steroids in all three plants. These chemical compounds may be endowed with antimicrobial properties.

Carob is botanically called as Ceratonia siliqua and belongs to the Legumes family. The fruit is derived from hermaphrodite trees and hard in shape. The carob contains high sugar contents in pulp, fat in seed and minerals like potassium, calcium, and phosphorus are present in pods. Polyphenols and antioxidants are abundant in leaves and pods. It can be used for enhancing human health due to its high nutritional profile. Carob gum is used in the pharmaceutical industry in the form of pomades, anti‐celiac ingredients, pills, and dental paste. The clinical carob can aid as an anti‐cancer, anti‐reflux, anti‐diabetic, anti‐diarrheal, anti‐hyperlipidemia, anti‐bacterial, anti‐microbial, and anti‐fungal. Nowadays, carob seeds are being used as an alternative to cocoa powder in food items whereas the leaves, pods, and seeds of carob are also historically used as food for animal feed. However, these parts of carob are available in markets with reasonable prices. Carob production, though with a rising contribution, contributes to the local economy. In this sense, we can incorporate knowledge on the chemical properties and the biological effect of carob fruits on human health. In this study, the supportive and health‐promoting impacts of carob are discussed along with the clinical testing obtained from natural constituents of carob. In addition, further studies can be performed to extract and separate polyphenols and antioxidant potential for the development of functional that play a valuable role in pharmaceutical and food sectors.
