Abstract

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of fruit juices on Multi-Drug Resistant (MDR) bacterial pathogens involved in Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) among tribal women in the district Anuppur, Madhya Pradesh, India.

Methods: Fresh juices of lemon (Citrus limon), amla/Indian gooseberry (Phyllanthus emblica), pineapple (Ananas comosus), mosambi/sweet lime (Citrus limetta), orange (Citrus sinensis), kiwi (Actinidia deliciosa), and pomegranate (Punica granatum) fruits were evaluated for in vitro antibacterial activity against bacterial pathogens involved in UITs and STIs among tribal women. Physico-chemical analysis of fresh fruits was also carried out by measuring the pH, moisture, protein, fat, crude fibre, carbohydrate, and ascorbic acid content.

Results: Lemon and amla juice showed better antibacterial activity against the pathogens as compared to other juices. MIC results fruit juices against UTIs and STIs pathogens vary depending on the specific pathogen and juice chemical constituents. The physico-chemical analysis showed that the moisture content was highest in mosambi (90%), followed by orange (87%). Ascorbic acid content was found highest in amla (540 mg/100 g), followed by kiwi (90.3 mg/100 g). Pomegranate showed highest concentration of carbohydrate (15.28 g/100 g), fat (1.28 g/100 g), and protein (1.65 g/100 g). Lemon juice had lowest pH of 2.20, followed by amla 2.67.

Conclusion: The lemon juice showed highest antibacterial activity against MDR bacterial pathogens involved in UTIs and STIs among tribal women in district Anuppur, Madhya Pradesh, India. The low pH of lemon may be responsible for its high antibacterial activity as compared to other juices.

印度中央邦部落妇女尿路和性传播感染中多种耐药细菌病原体的精选果汁抗菌活性。

目的：本研究旨在评估果汁对印度中央邦阿努布尔地区部落妇女尿路感染（UTIs）和性传播感染（STIs）中涉及的耐多药（MDR）细菌病原体的影响，在部落妇女中评估了mosambi/甜酸橙（Citrus limetta）、橙子（Citru sinensis）、猕猴桃（Actinidia deliciosa）和石榴（Punica granatum）果实对涉及UITs和STIs的细菌病原体的体外抗菌活性。通过测量pH、水分、蛋白质、脂肪、粗纤维、碳水化合物和抗坏血酸含量，对新鲜水果进行了理化分析。结果：与其他果汁相比，柠檬汁和amla汁对病原体具有更好的抗菌活性。果汁对UTIs和STIs病原体的MIC结果因特定病原体和果汁化学成分而异。理化分析表明，莫桑比的水分含量最高（90%），其次是橙子（87%）。抗坏血酸含量在amla中最高（540mg/100g），其次是猕猴桃（90.3mg/100g）。石榴显示出最高浓度的碳水化合物（15.28g/100g）、脂肪（1.28g/100 g）和蛋白质（1.65g/100g）。柠檬汁的pH值最低，为2.20，其次是amla 2.67。结论：在印度中央邦阿努布尔地区的部落妇女中，柠檬汁对涉及尿路感染和性传播感染的MDR细菌病原体表现出最高的抗菌活性。与其他果汁相比，柠檬的低pH可能是其高抗菌活性的原因。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Pharmacopuncture covers a wide range of basic and clinical science research relevant to all aspects of the biotechnology of integrated approaches using both pharmacology and acupuncture therapeutics, including research involving pharmacology, acupuncture studies and pharmacopuncture studies. The subjects are mainly divided into three categories: pharmacology (applied phytomedicine, plant sciences, pharmacology, toxicology, medicinal plants, traditional medicines, herbal medicine, Sasang constitutional medicine, herbal formulae, foods, agricultural technologies, naturopathy, etc.), acupuncture (acupressure, electroacupuncture, laser acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, etc.), and pharmacopuncture (aqua-acupuncture, meridian pharmacopuncture, eight-principles pharmacopuncture, animal-based pharmacopuncture, mountain ginseng pharmacopuncture, bee venom therapy, needle embedding therapy, implant therapy, etc.). Other categories include chuna treatment, veterinary acupuncture and related animal studies, alternative medicines for treating cancer and cancer-related symptoms, etc. Broader topical coverage on the effects of acupuncture, the medical plants used in traditional and alternative medicine, pharmacological action and other related modalities, such as anthroposophy, homeopathy, ayurveda, bioelectromagnetic therapy, chiropractic, neural therapy and meditation, can be considered to be within the journal’s scope if based on acupoints and meridians. Submissions of original articles, review articles, systematic reviews, case reports, brief reports, opinions, commentaries, medical lectures, letters to the editor, photo-essays, technical notes, and book reviews are encouraged. Providing free access to the full text of all current and archived articles on its website (www.journal.ac), also searchable through a Google Scholar search.
