Abstract:

To assess the antibacterial potency of Solanum alatum Moench. fruits, the water and ethanol extracts from Solanum alatum Moench. fruits were examined for their antibacterial activity against five common bacteria. It was found that both extracts had a notable inhibitory effect against the growth of all the bacteria tested. The minimum inhibitory concentrations of the water extract against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus pumilus and Enterobacter aerogenes were 2, 1, 0.5, 3 mg/mL and 0.5 mg/mL, and those of the ethanol extract were 2, 2, 1, 5 mg/mL and 1 mg/mL, respectively.

Key words: Solanum alatum Moench., water and ethanol extracts, antimicrobial activity
