Antibacterial Synergistic Effect of Extracts of the Organs of Capparis Spinosa and in Combination With Antibiotics.

Abstract: Background:The objective of this study is to test the antibacterial potency and evaluate the possible synergistic effect between aqueous and ethanolic extracts, flower buds and fruits of Capparis spinosa, and between these extracts and antibiotics. Materials and Methods: Antibacterial activity was determined by the plaque microdilution method against seven pathogenic and multiresistant bacteria. Concerning the synergistic effect, between the aqueous and alcoholic extracts of the two organs of this plant, it wa… Show more

“…This observation is in accordance with the findings of Fatma and coworkers, where they discovered that a synergy occurred with Oxacillin antibiotics, a synergistic potential also observed with Ampicillin, Chlorteracycline, Trimethoprim, Augmentine, and Doxicycline. 24 Furthermore, our results agreed with the discovery of Ennacerie et al, 25 who published that the association between extracts and antibiotics showed an increased level of antibacterial potency compared with lone antibiotics. The antibiotics susceptibility test results revealed that S. aureus was the isolate most affected by the test antibiotics, while E. coli showed the highest changes among the test microorganisms.…”

“…For each strain two antibiotics to which they are resistant are tested. The test is carried out on a solid medium according to the protocol described by Ennacerie and his collaborators [9,14,15]. Regarding the negative test, it is presented by a disk impregnated with distilled water or DMSO according to the type of aqueous or ethanolic extract.…”

“…MIC is the minimum concentration of the extract that inhibits the growth of 90% of the bacterial population after incubation for 18 to 24 hours at 37 °C. The determination of the MICs of the plant extracts with respect to the bacterial strains is carried out according to the microtitration technique on microplates described by Ennacerie and his collaborators [7,8,9]. After incubation, the bacterial viability indicator, [2, 3, 5] -triphenyl-2H-tetrazolium chloride (TTC), is added to each well.…”

“…The dry matter is then milled and kept away from moisture until the extracts are prepared. Preparation methods of the extracts of the plant Two types of extracts, decoctat at 10% and ethanolic, were prepared from the powder of flower buds and fruits of Capparis spinosa according to the method described by Ennacerie et al [13] Dosage of total phenolic content Total phenolic content of extracts was determined; it was based on the method of folin ciocalteu method. The acid gallic was used as a standard.…”

“…[6] Capparis spinosa is used also in pharmaceutical industry and modern medicine. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] This plant has also attracted the attention of several researchers, for its many therapeutic virtues such as antimicrobial effect [13] , antiinflammatory [4] and antioxidant activity [14] antiallergic, anti-histamine, and antiviral roles. [11] These criteria allow Capparis spinosa to rank among the plants medicinal and aromatic the most appreciated.…”
