The microbiological quality of Rainwater and air of the market, hospital, and residential area was evaluated. Roof-harvested and direct rainwater samples were collected from the three aforementioned locations. The air quality was investigated using the plate sedimentation method. Culture-based techniques were used for the enumeration and isolation of microorganisms in water samples, while the identities were confirmed using morphological, microscopic, and biochemical tests. The range of the total heterotrophic bacterial counts (THBC) of rainwater was 1.2±7.1x106 to 6.1±1.1 x106 cfu/ml, total coliform count (TCC) ranged between 8.0±0.00 x103 to 30.5 ±2.1 x103 cfu/ml, faecal coliform counts (FCC) ranged between 1.0±0.00×103 to 6.0±0.00×103 cfu/ml, fungal counts ranged from 2.0±0.00x103 to 11.0±0.00x103 cfu/ml.  The THB, TCC, and FCC of the air samples, ranged between 0.04±0.02 to 0.13±0.04 cfu/min-m2, 0.01±0.00to 0.03±0.00 cfu/min-m2, and 0.01±0.00 to 0.02±0.00 cfu/min-m2, respectively. There was a significant difference (P≤ 0.05) in the total heterotrophic bacterial load of the roof-harvested rainwater and the direct rainwater of the residential area, roof-harvested and direct rainwater of the hospital. Statistically, there was a significant difference (P≤ 0.05) in the total coliform counts of the water with the coliform counts of the roof-harvested rainwater of the market being significantly higher than the coliform counts recorded in other locations. Seven bacterial genera belonging to Micrococcus sp, Staphylococcus, Escherichia coli, Proteus sp, Pseudomonas sp, Enterobacter sp, and Bacillus sp were isolated. The fungal isolates were Candida sp, Mucor sp, Rhizopus sp, Penicillium sp, Aspergillus niger, and Aspergillus flavus. The results showed that rainwater is not fit for consumption due to its components and can cause harm to individuals if consumed without treatment. proper treatment is recommended before consumption. The results also showed that the microbiological quality of the air samples was influenced by their environment.
对雨水和市场、医院、居民区空气微生物质量进行了评价。从上述三个地点收集屋顶收集的雨水和直接雨水样本。采用平板沉降法对空气质量进行了研究。以培养为基础的技术用于枚举和分离水样中的微生物,同时通过形态学,显微镜和生化测试确认其身份。雨水异养细菌总数(THBC)为1.2±7.1x106 ~ 6.1±1.1 x106 cfu/ml,总大肠菌群计数(TCC)为8.0±0.00 x103 ~ 30.5±2.1 x103 cfu/ml,粪大肠菌群计数(FCC)为1.0±0.00×103 ~ 6.0±0.00×103 cfu/ml,真菌计数为2.0±0.00x103 ~ 11.0±0.00x103 cfu/ml。空气样品的THB、TCC和FCC值分别为0.04±0.02 ~ 0.13±0.04 cfu/min-m2、0.01±0.003 ~ 0.03±0.00 cfu/min-m2和0.01±0.00 ~ 0.02±0.00 cfu/min-m2。住宅小区屋面雨水与直接雨水、医院屋面雨水与直接雨水的总异养菌负荷差异有统计学意义(P≤0.05)。水体总大肠菌群数量差异有统计学意义(P≤0.05),其中市场屋顶收集的雨水大肠菌群数量显著高于其他地点。分离到微球菌、葡萄球菌、大肠杆菌、变形杆菌、假单胞菌、肠杆菌和芽孢杆菌7属。分离到的真菌有念珠菌、毛霉、根霉、青霉、黑曲霉和黄曲霉。结果表明,由于雨水的成分,雨水不适合饮用,如果不进行处理,可能会对个人造成伤害。建议在食用前进行适当的处理。结果还表明,空气样品的微生物质量受环境的影响。

Sigatoka Disease (SD) represents the major pre-harvest fungal disease of banana and also appear as the major constraint of banana production. This diseaseis caused by two major pathogenic fungi, Pseudocercospora fijiensis and P. musicola. It provokes necrotic lesions on leaves and serious infestations leads to a substantial reduction in the green leaf area of infected plants and thus the photosynthetic area of the plant and consequently leads to yield loss. In the present work, three plantations were surveyed and experiments conducted in Southwest Cameroon to assess the prevalence and severity of sigatoaka disease in the banana plantations. Our results revealed a 100 % prevalence of Sigatoka in the field with an incidence of 59 %. In a severe manner, the severity in all the plantations was seen to have a constant increase with the highest severity at 23.83 % observed in plantation 1. In a nutshell, the incidence and severity of the disease was seen to increase with respect to time and season.
香蕉Sigatoka Disease (SD)是香蕉主要的采前真菌病害,也是香蕉生产的主要制约因素。这种疾病是由两种主要的致病真菌,斐济伪cercospora fijiensis和p.a musola引起的。它引起叶片坏死,严重的侵染导致受感染植物的绿叶面积大幅减少,从而导致植物的光合面积大幅减少,从而导致产量损失。在本工作中,对喀麦隆西南部的三个种植园进行了调查和试验,以评估香蕉种植园中sigatoaka病的流行程度和严重程度。我们的结果显示,斑疹病在田间的流行率为100%,发病率为59%。在严重程度上,所有人工林的严重程度都在不断增加,人工林1的严重程度最高,达到23.83%。简而言之,这种疾病的发病率和严重程度随着时间和季节的增加而增加。

The study was aimed at evaluating metal tolerant and antibiotic resistant bacteria isolated from underground water around aged crude oil polluted site. Samples were collected from different locations around aged crude oil polluted site and control sample from an uncontaminated site of Bodo community, Gokana Local Government, Rivers state, Nigeria. The samples were cultured on nutrient agar, Bushnell Hass and MacConkay agar using standard microbial technique. Antibiogram of the isolated and identified bacteria were determined by Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method. The bacterial tolerance of different concentrations of the heavy metals, Chromium, Vanadium, Arsenic, Cadmium and Lead was determined. The total heterotrophic bacterial count (THBC) of the samples ranged from 1.26×104 CFU/ml to 3.6×105 CFU/ml. Count of hydrocarbon utilizing bacteria (HUB) ranged from 1.02×103 to 3.2×103 CFU/ml and the coliform count of the sample ranged from 4.2×103 CFU/ml to 4.0×103ml. The predominant bacteria identified were Bacillus sp, Micrococcus sp, and Staphylococcus sp, Enterobacter sp and Proteus sp. All (100%) the Gram-positive bacteria were resistant to the antibiotic, Ceftazidime, Cefprozil and Cloxacin, 92% were resistant to Gentamycin and Erythromycin while 80% were resistant to Augmentin. All (100%) of the Gram-negative bacteria isolates were resistant to cefluroxime, 66% were resistant to Augmentin and Ceftazidim, and 33% were observed to be resistant to Nitrofurantin and Gentamicin. It was observed that all the isolates were tolerant to 50 µg/ml concentration, 70 to 100% of the isolates were tolerant to 100 µg/ml concentration, 17 to 100% were tolerant to 200 µg/ml concentration while 11 to 41% were tolerant to 300 µg/ml concentration of all the heavy metals studied. From this study, it was revealed that petroleum aged contamination could be a source of heavy-metal tolerance and antibiotic resistance in bacteria.

Background: Multidrug-resistant bacteria (MDR) represent a global health scourge. Their emergence in hospital services complicates the clinical management of infections caused in particular in immunocompromised persons. The objective of our work was to evaluate the prevalence of MDR in the neonatal services of the University Hospitals Centers of Abidjan. Materials and Methods: The present study took place from September to November 2020 and from January to June 2021. The samples collected consisted of venous blood samples for blood cultures, rectal swabs from newborns, nasal and hand swabs from health care workers, and swabs from inert surfaces and neonatal care equipment. Bacterial identification methods, antibiotic susceptibility testing, and Chi-square testing were performed. Results: A total of 513 samples were obtained from which 215 organisms were isolated and identified. These bacteria consisted of 52.1% Gram-negative bacilli, of which 77.7% were Enterobacteriaceae and 47.9% Gram-positive cocci. Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) (25.6%), coagulase-Negative Staphylococcus (CoNS) (24.6%), and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) (23.2%) were the most isolated bacteria. The overall prevalence of MDR was 73.9%. The main antibiotic resistance phenotypes described were the production of Broad Spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL) in 71.9% of Enterobacteriaceae and methicillin resistance (Meti-R) in 75.6% of Staphylococcus. ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae (E-ESBL) were mainly observed in rectal carriage and Meti-R strains in blood cultures in newborns in the respective proportions of 45.6% and 56.4%. Conclusion: In our work, the results obtained showed a high prevalence of MDR in neonatal services and newborns are the most affected subjects. Improving hygiene rules and control and rationalizing the use of antibiotics are highly recommended control strategies to reduce the hospital dissemination of MDR.

Aim: To evaluate the bioremediation potential of algae (Chlorella vulgaris) in crude oil contaminated sediment. Study Design: The study employs three (3) experimental designs using flat rubber, statistical analysis of the data and interpretation makes up the study design. Place and Duration of Study: New Calabar River, Choba, Obio Akpor Local Government Area, Rivers State, Nigeria, was used for this study. New Calabar River lies between longitude 6°53.13E and latitude 4°53.52N in Choba. Bioremediation monitoring process lasted for 56 days; analyses were carried out at 14 days’ interval. Methodology: Three (3) experimental set up were employed using a using flat rubber basin, each set up contained 2500g of sediment and was contaminated with 250ml of Crude Oil except Control 1 uncontaminated sediment (Us). The set up was augmented with the Chlorella vulgaris (CHL) except the control 1 and 2 (Us and Cs). Sediment profile like Temperature, pH, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium, electrical conductivity, moisture content, total organic carbon, soil organic matter and total hydrocarbon content (THC) before contamination was determined using standard analytical methods while parameters like Temperature, pH, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium and Total Hydrocarbon Contents (THC) were monitored throughout the experimental period. Microalgae and Hydrocarbon utilizing algae (HUA) were monitored throughout the experimental period using standard microbiological methods. Percentage Bioremediation was estimated from amount of THC reduction from day 1 (initial) of monitoring. Statistical analysis was carried out for microbiological and physicochemical parameters when treated using Statistical ANOVA to ascertain significant difference of mean values between various treatments. Results: Results revealed the amount of hydrocarbon removed and % bioremediation efficiency after 56 days of monitoring with different treatment on the set up is given in a decreasing order as follows: (initial contamination value of 10525mg/kg) Cs+Chl (7700mg/kg; 73.15%) > control (Cs) contaminated without amendment of organisms (6345mg/kg 60.28%) >  and Us uncontaminated sediment 1969.96 mg/kg. The total hydrocarbon content (THC) of the treated setup decreased from (10525mg/kg initial contamination value) at the start of bioremediation to Cs+Chl (7700mg/kg: 73.15%) at the end of bioremediation. The highest count of microalgae (log10cfu/g) for each set up during the monitoring were as follows; day 0 Us (7.65) day14 Cs (7.63) day28 Us (7.70) day42 Cs+Chl (7.60) day56 Cs (7.30). It was observed that peak count was on day28 (7.70) and a decline was on day56 (7.30).

Salmonella contamination in ready-to-eat food is seen as a health risk, and improper food processing puts customers at risk. This study therefore was carried out to investigate the prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of Salmonella isolated from food vendor’s hands and work bench in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. Ninety (90) samples were collected for a period of three months from three different location in Port Harcourt with five sampling points in each locations. Samples were analyzed for the presence of Salmonella organism using standard microbiological procedure for enumeration and identification. Salmonella-Shigella (SSC) counts ranged from 1.9+4.9x103cfu/g to 3.8+1.4x103cfu/g for choba and Aggrey road respectively in cooked rice, 0.2+0.3x103cfu/g to 0.9+0.4x103cfu/g for Mile 3 and Aggrey road respectively in Moi Moi, 0.6+0.5x103cfu/g to 1.5+1.5x103cfu/g for Aggrey road and Mile 3 in Salad, and 1.6+0.7x103cfu/ml to 2.6+1.7x103cfu/ml for Choba and Aggrey road in Egusi soup. Six (6) Salmonella spp were isolated in Salad and workbench from Mile 3 and Choba respectively. Salmonella showed a decreasing trend of resistance in the order: Ceporex, Gentamycin and Augmentin (100%) > Nalidixic acid (83.3%) > Septrin and Streptomycin (66.7%) > Tarivid, Pefloxacin and Ampicilin (33.3%). The molecular identification of the Six (6) isolates using polymerase chain reaction confirmed 100% Salmonella spp isolates. The six (6) Salmonella isolates were identified with blaTEM and blaSHV gene 6(100%). Out of the Six (6) isolates, 100% had multidrug resistance index ≥ 0.2 while 0.00% had <0.2 as their Multidrug Resistance Index. Conclusively, this study revealed prevalence of Salmonella spp in food and food vendors in Rivers State, posing a serious threat to consumers. Indiscriminate use of antibiotics should be discouraged to reduce the prevalence of resistant strains of Salmonella.

Background: Typhoid fever is one of the most common infectious diseases in developing countries including Nigeria. Globally, typhoid fever is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in many regions of the world. People most at risk for serious complications due to Salmonella infections include older adults, pregnant women, infants, children, and people who have compromised immune systems. Design and Duration: The study involves the collection of blood and stool specimens across all ages and gender between ages 0-70 years who present with fever and diarrhoea among other symptoms of typhoid in selected hospitals within Bauchi from January 2019 to August 2020. Aim: The aim of this research is to phenotypically characterize virulence factors in Multidrug-Resistant Salmonella typhi serovars isolated from clinical specimens in selected hospitals within Bauchi. Materials and Methods: A total of 518 blood and stool specimens were collected from selected health facilities within Bauchi metropolis to determine the presence of Salmonellae pathogens. Phenotypic identification of Salmonella typhi was performed using standard microbiological procedures, virulence factors were investigated and the Kirby Bauer Disk Diffusion method was used for the determination of the antimicrobial susceptibility and Multidrug Resistant pattern of the isolates. Results and Discussion: Highest number of specimens collected was among patients with fever. Age groups 31-40 and 0-10 had the highest frequencies of occurrence respectively while age group 61-70 had the least. There was no significant difference between the age group and the number of isolates as p>0. 05. Highest frequency of S. typhi was found within the Female gender while Males recorded the lowest. The stool had the highest number of positive samples 31(21.6%) and blood had the least 17(4. 5%). Flagella was present in 18(37.5%) of 48 virulence isolates and was the most prevalent. Haemolysin was the least prevalent 4(8.3%) in all the isolates in our study. In the present study, 37(77.0%) of S. typhi isolates were resistant to 2 or more antimicrobial agents (Multidrug resistance). The highest resistance was observed in Oxacillin 46(95.8%). The isolates were sensitive to Ciprofloxacin 31(64.5%), Colistin Sulphate 29(60.4%), and Ceftriaxone 28(58.3%). All isolates 48(100%) were Multidrug-resistant and sensitive to Ciprofloxacin, Colistin Sulphate, Ceftriaxone, and Amikacin. Conclusion: This study established that Salmonella typhi was more prevalent in the middle age group, female out-patient with most cases of fever, diarrhoea, and sometimes both. Most of the Salmonella typhi recovered from this study were more from stool than blood. Of all of the isolates in this study 48(9.2%) produced two or more virulent factors, with flagella as the commonest across all the MDR isolates; which is indicative of a significant relationship between virulence factors and multidrug resistance.

Background: Antimicrobial stewardship programmes are interventions which have been developed to address irrational and inappropriate use particularly in health care centers. Antimicrobial stewardship programmes involve a set of activities which promote appropriate use of antimicrobials in terms of selection, dosing, route and duration of antimicrobial therapy. Methods: A Point-prevalence survey (PPS) was organized in line with Global point prevalence patient-based protocol for PPS and antimicrobial use was carried out in the paediatrics department of a tertiary healthcare institution in southern Nigeria. A total of 66 inpatients on admission for at least 24hours and still on admission at 8am on the day of the survey were included in the study. Results: The results show that 34 (51.50%) patients were on at least one antimicrobial drug and this included 19 (55.80%) males and 15 (44.20%) females. The highest proportion (n=15; 44%) of these patients were admitted in the children emergency ward while the least number (n=5; 14.7%) were found in children medical ward 1. The average age of patients on antimicrobials was 53 months. Thirty-four (51.50%) patients were on at least one antimicrobial drug and this included 19 (55.8%) males and 15 (44.2%) females. The three most prescribed antimicrobials were, ceftriaxone (23.88%), aminoglycoside gentamicin (20.90%), cefuroxime (16.42%) and Ceftazidime was the least common antibiotic prescribed (1.49%). Only 10.45 % were targeted therapy (based on microbiological results) while there was missing information for 10.45% of prescriptions. Conclusion: The findings of the study shows that it is important to initiate antimicrobial stewardship programmes within our hospital to optimize antimicrobial use to improve patient care in the hospital.
背景:抗菌剂管理规划是为解决特别是在卫生保健中心不合理和不适当使用而制定的干预措施。抗菌药物管理规划涉及一系列活动,这些活动在抗菌药物治疗的选择、剂量、途径和持续时间方面促进适当使用抗菌药物。方法:在尼日利亚南部的一家三级医疗机构的儿科进行了一次点流行调查(PPS),该调查是根据全球点流行患者为基础的PPS协议组织的。共纳入66例入院时间至少24小时且在调查当天上午8点仍入院的住院患者。结果:34例(51.50%)患者至少使用一种抗菌药物,其中男性19例(55.80%),女性15例(44.20%)。比例最高(n=15;44%)的患者入住儿童急诊科,而入院人数最少(n=5;14.7%)发生在儿童内科病房1。接受抗微生物药物治疗的患者平均年龄为53个月。34例(51.50%)患者至少使用一种抗菌药物,其中男性19例(55.8%),女性15例(44.2%)。使用最多的3种抗菌药分别是头孢曲松(23.88%)、氨基糖苷庆大霉素(20.90%)、头孢呋辛(16.42%)和头孢他啶(1.49%)。只有10.45%的处方是靶向治疗(基于微生物结果),而10.45%的处方信息缺失。结论:研究结果表明,重要的是启动抗菌药物管理方案在我们的医院优化抗菌药物的使用,以改善医院的病人护理。

The average age of patients on antimicrobials was 53 months. Thirty-four (51.50%) patients were on at least one antimicrobial drug and this included 19 (55.8%) males and 15 (44.2%) females. The three most prescribed antimicrobials were, ceftriaxone (23.88%), aminoglycoside gentamicin (20.90%), cefuroxime (16.42%) and Ceftazidime was the least common antibiotic prescribed (1.49%). Only 10.45 % were targeted therapy (based on microbiological results) while there was missing information for 10.45% of prescriptions. \u0000Conclusion: The findings of the study shows that it is important to initiate antimicrobial stewardship programmes within our hospital to optimize antimicrobial use to improve patient care in the hospital.","PeriodicalId":21776,"journal":{"name":"South Asian Journal of Research in Microbiology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81056381","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aim: To review recent findings in the context of the relation between intestinal parasitic infection (IPI) induce the host’s chronic immune activation and systemic inflammation that contributes to stunting. Discussion: To some extent, based on the parasite species (with the account of the condition of co-infections), combined with its timing (when was the initial infection took place), the duration of the disease, its intensity, and also must be considered the patho-physiology effects, can cause serious effect to their host. Prolonged IPI contributes to the formation of stunting. Active IPI can cause direct dysregulation of growth factors which are important for prenatal and postnatal growth. Furthermore, IPI opens the door for the entry of secondary infections, bacterial and viral, and allowed them to established definite co-infection which can cause prolonged inflammation, locally and systematically. Several potential interrelated mechanistic routes also could be connected through the host’s imbalanced nutritional status, possible environmental enteric dysfunction (EED) due to persistent IPI and prolonged inflammation, hormonal derangement and perhaps also due to metabolic disturbances, immune dynamics, the consequences of  definite anaemia, changed microbiota composition, and also changes in epigenetic signature. Conclusion:  Persistent and prolonged IPI induced both chronic immune activation and systemic inflammation that contributes to the formation of stunting, directly and indirectly.
目的:综述近年来关于肠道寄生虫感染(IPI)诱导宿主慢性免疫激活与全身性炎症导致发育迟缓之间关系的研究进展。讨论:在一定程度上,根据寄生虫的种类(与共感染的情况有关),结合其发病时间(初次感染发生的时间),疾病的持续时间,其强度,还必须考虑其病理生理效应,可对其宿主造成严重影响。IPI延长有助于发育迟缓的形成。活跃的IPI可以导致生长因子的直接失调,这对产前和产后生长很重要。此外,IPI为继发性感染(细菌和病毒)的进入打开了大门,并允许它们建立明确的共同感染,这可能导致局部和系统的长期炎症。一些潜在的相互关联的机制途径也可能通过宿主的营养状况不平衡、可能的环境性肠功能障碍(EED)(由于持续的IPI和长期的炎症)、激素紊乱以及可能由于代谢紊乱、免疫动力学、明确贫血的后果、微生物群组成的改变以及表观遗传特征的变化而连接起来。结论:持续和长期的IPI诱导慢性免疫激活和全身性炎症,直接或间接地促进发育迟缓的形成。

Herbals   have been used for decades to treat gastrointestinal infections across the world, including in Tharaka-Nithi County, Kenya. Crude extracts from herbs have long been prescribed by traditional healers for treatment of typhoid, cholera, and shigellosis. However, the effectiveness of extracts obtained using different extraction solvents such as methanol, acetone, and hexane have not fully been evaluated. This study aimed at evaluating the effect of solvents (Ethanol, hexane, and methanol) on the yield of crude extract from plants (Erythrinna abyssinica, Aspilia pluriseta, Vangueria infausta, Ficus sycomorus, and Carissa edulis), assessing the effect of the solvents on extracted active metabolites, and determining the effect of these solvents on extract’s bioactivity against Vibrio cholerae, Shigella flexneri, and Salmonella typhimuriumi and, Escherichia coli that served as a model organism for screening plant extracts against Gram-negative bacteria. Crude extracts were obtained by soaking dried ground plant parts in individual solvents, which were then concentrated by a rotary evaporator. The phytochemical screening to detect plant metabolites was done qualitatively. Bioassays to analyze the efficacy of the plant crude extracts against the microbes were carried out in 4×3×3×5 factorial experiment laid out in a completely randomized design. The determination of bioactivity of herbal extracts was carried out using minimal inhibition concentration and minimum bactericidal concentration methods. Data obtained on the bioactivity assay (Count of the bacteria colony forming units) was analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test at α = 0.05, and medians were compared by the Wilcoxon rank sum test in Scientific Analysis System version 9.4. Methanol solvent produced higher quantities of crude extracts for all the herbal samples used with, Vangueria infausta producing the highest extract (5.06g). Most phytochemicals were present in Methanolic extracts compared to hexane and acetone extracts. There was a significant (p < 0.05) difference in the bioactivity of different herbal plants against bacterial pathogens at different concentrations of crude extract. The efficacy of plant extract increased progressively from 100ppm to 1000ppm concentration.  Methanol is recommended for use in the extraction of medicinal plant extracts as it leads to improved potency as compared to hexane and acetone.
几十年来,草药一直被用于治疗世界各地的胃肠道感染,包括肯尼亚的塔拉卡-尼希县。长期以来,传统治疗师一直用草药的粗提取物来治疗伤寒、霍乱和志贺氏菌病。然而,使用甲醇、丙酮和己烷等不同提取溶剂获得的提取物的有效性尚未得到充分评估。本研究旨在评估溶剂(乙醇、己烷和甲醇)对植物(Erythrinna abyssinica、Aspilia pluriseta、Vangueria infausta、Ficus sycomorus和Carissa edulis)粗提物产量的影响,评估溶剂对提取活性代谢物的影响,并确定这些溶剂对提取物抗霍乱弧菌、福氏志贺氏菌和鼠伤寒沙门氏菌生物活性的影响。大肠杆菌作为筛选植物提取物抗革兰氏阴性菌的模式生物。粗提取物是通过将干燥的磨碎的植物部分浸泡在单独的溶剂中,然后通过旋转蒸发器浓缩得到的。进行植物化学筛选,定性检测植物代谢物。采用完全随机设计的4×3×3×5析因试验对植物粗提物的抑菌效果进行了生物测定。采用最小抑菌浓度法和最小杀菌浓度法测定中药提取物的生物活性。生物活性测定(细菌菌落形成单位计数)数据采用Kruskal-Wallis检验,α = 0.05,中位数采用科学分析系统9.4版的Wilcoxon秩和检验。甲醇溶剂在所有草药样品中产生的粗提取物数量都较高,其中,红凤头草产生的提取物最高(5.06g)。与己烷和丙酮提取物相比,甲醇提取物中存在大多数植物化学物质。不同药材粗提物对病原菌的生物活性差异显著(p < 0.05)。植物提取物的功效从100ppm逐渐增加到1000ppm。甲醇被推荐用于药用植物提取物的提取,因为与己烷和丙酮相比,甲醇的效力更高。
