Abstract

Homeopathy is a popular alternative medicine. The mechanism of action of homeopathic drug has not been clarified but it has been found to be effective against various diseases including diarrhea, dysentery, otitis media, eczema and even cancer. After qualifying thorough investigation, it can be used against antibiotic tolerance and multi drug resistant bacteria. In a recent study, bactericidal effect of homeopathic remedies has been investigated. But such an effect is not in accordance with the general principles of homeopathy. To test this paradigm, in vitro antimicrobial effects of four homeopathic drugs Aconite 30, Arsenicum album 30, Mercuric corrosivus 30 and Mercury solution 200 against five common intestinal pathogens, including- Escherichia coli, Klebsiella sp., Salmonella sp. Pseudomonas sp., and Bacillus sp have been observed. Standard agar well diffusion technique and macrodilution technique were followed. But, tested homeopathic drugs did not show any significant effect on any of the five pathogens. Rigorous study against other organism is required to fully understand antimicrobial activity and other mechanism of action. Stamford Journal of Microbiology, Vol.8(1) 2018: 7-9

顺势疗法药物体外抗菌活性的测定
顺势疗法是一种流行的替代疗法。顺势疗法药物的作用机制尚未明确,但已发现它对多种疾病有效,包括腹泻、痢疾、中耳炎、湿疹甚至癌症。经过彻底的研究,它可以用于抗生素耐药和多重耐药细菌。在最近的一项研究中,顺势疗法的杀菌效果已被调查。但这样的效果并不符合顺势疗法的一般原则。为了验证这一模式,我们观察了四种顺势疗法药物乌头30、砷30、汞腐蚀剂30和汞溶液200对大肠杆菌、克雷伯氏菌、沙门氏菌、假单胞菌和芽孢杆菌等五种常见肠道病原体的体外抗菌效果。采用标准琼脂孔扩散法和大量稀释法。但是,经测试的顺势疗法药物并没有显示出对五种病原体中的任何一种有明显的效果。为了充分了解抗菌活性和其他作用机制,需要对其他生物进行严格的研究。微生物学报,Vol.8(1) 2018: 7-9
