Antibacterial effect (in vitro) of Moringa oleifera and Annona muricata against Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria

Abstract

SUMMARYAntibacterial effects of aqueous and ethanolic extracts of seeds of moringa (Moringa oleifera) and pods of soursop (Annona muricata) in the concentration of 1:5 and 1:10 in volumes 50, 100, 150 and 200 μL were examined against Staphylococcus aureus, Vibrio cholerae, Escherichia coli (isolated from the organism and the aquatic environment) and Salmonella Enteritidis. Antibacterial activity (inhibition halo > 13 mm) against S. aureus, V. cholerae and E. coli isolated from the whiteleg shrimp, Litopenaeus vannmaei, was detected in aqueous and ethanolic extracts of moringa. E. coli isolated from tilapiafish, Oreochromis niloticus, was sensitive to the ethanolic extract of moringa. The aqueous extracts of soursop showed an antibacterial effect against S. aureus and V. cholerae, but the antibacterial activity by the ethanol extracts of this plant was not demonstrated.

Anti-Inflammatory Effects of The Chloroform Extract of Annona muricata Leaves on Phospholipase A2 and Prostaglandin Synthase Activities

“…All parts of Annona muricata are extensively used as traditional medicines against an array of human ailments and diseases. Previous reports on Annona muricata reveal it possesses anti-oxidant effect Baskar [10] anti-proliferative effect [11,12] and anti-trypanosomal effects [13], anti-bacterial effect [14,15], anti-hepatotoxic activity [16,17], wound healing activity [18]. The antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory effect of the ethanol extract of the plant in animal models has also been reported [19][20][21].…”

Mini Review on Antimicrobial Activity and Bioactive Compounds of Moringa oleifera

“…Moringa oleifera was also shown to inhibit pathogenic bacteriathatcan affect marine aquaculture products [27]. Brihanteet al [28] showed that the ethanol extract of Moringa oleifera pods and chloroform extract of flowers could effectively inhibit three strains of Vibrio cholera, Vibrio vulnificus and Vibrio mimicus isolated from Macrobrchium amazonicum prawns.…”
