Phytochemical Analyses, Antimicrobial Activities and Possible Antimicrobial Mechanism of Adansonia Digitata: An Animal Model

Abstract

Development of resistance to reference antibiotics leading to increased mortality have caused critical concern in the management of infectious diseases. Continuous search for alternative therapies have shown good candidates in medicinal plants, although without thorough examination of possible mechanism of action. This study assessed the phytochemical constituents, antimicrobial activities and possible antimicrobial mechanism of Adansonia digitata, against Shigella flexneri, Escerichia Coli and Salmonella enteritis.
