In vitro antimicrobial activity of <i>Harungana madagascriensis</i> and <i>Euphorbia prostrata</i> extracts against some pathogenic <i>Salmonella</i> sp.

Abstract: Harungana madagascariensis Lam (Hypericaceae) and Euphorbia prostrata Ait (Euphorbiaceae) are commonly used in Cameroon as traditional medicines for the treatment of typhoid fevers. Aqueous extracts were prepared from the leaves of H. madagascariensis and the whole plant of E. prostrata and tested in vitro for antibacterial activity against Salmonella Typhi, Salmonella Paratyphi A, Salmonella Paratyphi B and Salmonella Typhimurium, using broth dilution technique. Phytochemical screening was performed using sta… Show more

“…It is in this perspective that the hydro-ethanolic extract of Canarium schweinfurthii has been explored for its antisalmonellal activity and its bioactive compounds. Several plants are traditionally used against human salmonellosis [41][42][43][44][45][46] and avian salmonellosis [24][25][26]47]. Plants with high anti-salmonellal potential that show promise for the control of avian salmonellosis include Aloe secundiflora [47], Thymus vulgaris [48], Curcuma longa and Scutellaria baicalensis [25] and Erica mannii [27].…”

“…The extract S. barteri is therefore relatively harmless based on Hodge and Sterner Scale [17]. However, the reduction in mice activity and reaction to noise may be due to depressant and sedative effect on the central nervous system [18]. The reduction of reaction to pinch and reactivity may be due to its inhibitory action on nocireptors or inhibition of the production of algogenic substances (prostaglandins, histamines), or inhibition of the pain signal transmission at the central level [19].…”
