The Antibacterial Activity Of Crude Leaf Extracts Of Citrus Sinensis (Sweet Orange)
ABSTRACT
The antibacterial activity of Citrus
sinensis was evaluated on bacteria strains like Escherichia coil, Pseudornonas
aeruginosa, kiebsielia pneuinoniae, Staphylococcus aureus. Water and ethanol
were used for the extraction. The in vitro antibacterial activity was performed
by agar disc diffusion method. The antibacterial effect of the aqueous extract
shoed a zone of inhibition on Escherichia coil, which was seven millimeter in
diameter, while on the other organisms it showed little or no zones of
inhibition ranging from 0 3mm in diameter. The ethanol extract also showed
little zones of inhibition on the test organisms ranging from I - 3mm in
diameter. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) evaluated on the ethanol
and aqueous extracts using a two fold serial dilution showed no zones of
inhibition. The results obtained in this study suggested that the extracts have
low potential for use in the treatment of diseases caused by these test
organisms
