Study of the Biological Effects of the Aqueous Extract of the Flower of Target Taraxacum officinale on Escherichia coli AB1157

Abstract

The present study shows the results obtained by the disc-diffusion test, where the actions of the aqueous extract of the flower of Taraxacum officinale on the strain Escherichia coli AB1157 was evaluated and compared with the results of the aqueous extract of Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi. It can be observed that the extract of Taraxacum officinale presented greater significance in relation to inhibition of bacterial growth than the extract of Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi, suggesting to the extract of Taraxacum officinale a greater and better clinical relevance.
