Determination of Antimicrobial Susceptibility Pattern of Bacteria Isolated from Herbal Drugs Hawked

This study proposed at the determination of antimicrobial susceptibleness pattern of bacteria isolated from herbaceous drugs hawked in Onitsha Anambra State. The microbiological innocence and antibacterial characteristics of six Nigerian traditional medicine with the established efficiency of restorative all manners of microbial infections were judged. The herbal remedies were found to be contaminated accompanying the following microorganisms: Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus sp, Salmonella spp and E. coli. Qualitative phytochemical screening of the traditional medicine revealed the presence of saponin, tannins, alkaloids, anthraquinone and cardiac glycosides that suggest attainable antimicrobial effect. The maximum activity of the traditional medicine in the test isolates was observed on Staphylococcus aureus, which accompanied clear zones of inhibition accompanying diameters ranging from 7.00 to 13mm for the six herbal drugs individually while it had low endeavor on E coli, with clear zones of hindrance of 6.00mm, to 14.00mm. The herbal extracts have shown considerable antimicrobial activities corresponding to the currently prescribed up-to-date drugs tested. As a result, supplementary investigations on clinical productiveness trials, security, toxicity, and affordability analyses must be begun as soon as possible in consideration of proceed to the last step of synthesizing precursor particles for novel effective antimicrobials.
