Antimicrobial Bioactivity and GC-MS Analysis of Different Extracts of Corchorus olitorius L Leaves

Abstract: Background and Aim. Plants have been used for the treatment of infectious diseases among various communities worldwide with undeniable success. Corchorus olitorius L is used to treat various ailments including infections. However, there are limited data regarding its antimicrobial spectrum in Uganda. In the bid to bridge this gap, we investigated the antimicrobial bioactivity of Corchorus olitorius L against Candida albicans, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, and Mycobacteria t… Show more

“…Furthermore, hexadecanoic acid methyl ester and oleic acid (both detected in this work) were among the organic fatty acids also detected in the works of Ghareeb et al (2022) and Nakaziba et al (2022). They assayed the extracts of Paratapes undulatus clam (a marine mollusc) and Corchorus olitorius L leaves (Egyptian spinach) respectively for bacterial inhibition of Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae and Escherichia coli with success.…”

“…The plant extract did not reveal any bioactivity against Candida albicans nor Mycobacterium tuberculosis. 36 The antibacterial activity of C. olitorius leaves was assessed against the Gram-negative bacteria E. coli, using the agar well diffusion method. As a result, the aqueous extract exhibited stronger antibacterial activity (16.3 ± 1.7) against the studied bacteria E. coli, compared to the ethanolic extract (8.23 ± 0.7).…”
