| Abstract: | The present study is
on antibacterial activity of lyophilized ethanolic extract of unripe fresh
fruit pulp (mesocarp part) of Terminalia
catappa Linn. on two subgingival pathogenic bacteria (Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans and Porphyromonas gingivalis) isolated from the outpatients reporting
to a Government-aided hospital, at Chennai,
India. These
bacteria were isolated from a pooled blood sample collected from infected
gingival, using a sterile paper point. The sample was inoculated into a test
tube containing transport media (Brain Heart Infusion Broth) and kept at 4oC.
Tryptic Soy Serum Broth (TSBV) was used to cultivate A. actinomycetemcomitans and blood agar supplemented with haemin
and vitamin was the enriched-cum-selective medium used to cultivate P. gingivalis.
Sensitivity of the isolated bacteria to standard antibiotic namely Amoxicillin,
Penicillin, Gentamycin, Norfloxacin, Metranidazole, Novobiocin, Nalidixic acid
and Vancomycin was estimated. The MIC of Seitz-filtered lyophilized ethanolic
extract for both the anaerobic bacteria was estimated as
500 µg/ml. |
