Antimicrobial Activities Of Garcinia Kola (Bitter Kola) And Annona Muricata (Sour Sop Leaves) Extracts On Some Selected Microorganisms:- Ajah, Joy N
ABSTRACT
Medicinal plants are major source of phyto
chemical compounds of beneficial values and are gaining countless significance
in the essential wellbeing of individuals and social clubs in many nations. The
aim of the study was to access the antimicrobial activities Of the ethanol and
aqueous extracts of bitter kola (Garcinia kola) and soursop (Armona muricata)
on Staphylococus aureaus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella
typhii and Aspergillus spp using agar well diffusion method and minimum
inhibitory concentration (MIC). The ethanolic extract was found to show more
activity than the aqueous extracts on the isolates. The MIC of both the
ethanolic extract and aqueous extract was higher on Pseudomonas aeruginosa and
lower on Staphylococcus aureus. The preliminary phyto chemical screening of the
plant extracts showed that Tannins was more present in Garcinia kola while
Saponins was more abundant in Annona muricata. The results obtained showed that
Garcinia kola and Annona muricata have great potentials for the production of
commercial drugs for the management of human pathogens.
