چکیده
|
Antibacterial activity of extracts of momordica charantia and several antibiotics were studied against enterococcus faecalis and enterococcus faecium isolated from water receiving fertilizers of animal origin by filter disc diffusion method. e. faecalis and e. faecium were found sensitive to gentamycin,ciprofloxacin and tetracycline,and resistant to penicillin g,trimethoprim and sulfometho-xyzol. m. charantia showed significant zone of inhibition in the case of n-hexane,ethanol and methanol extracts of green parts against a and c strains of e. faecium,while ethyl acetate and methanol extracts of seed parts of m. charantia indicated considerable inhibitory effect against both b and a strains of e. faecium. this study showed that fruit part of m. charantia could be a potential source of new antimicrobial agents. copyright 2013 zoological society of pakistan.
