| Abstract:
|
Typhoid fever is a disease caused by Salmonella Typhi and commonly treated by an antimicrobial agent such as cotrimoxazole. Natural product and some plant extract usage have risen as an adjunctive therapy to treat many diseases.
Aim of the study
• To increase anti-salmonella efficacy of cotrimoxazole by combing with aqueous seed extract of Punicgranatum.
• To prevent salmonella Typhi resistant by combination of antibiotic which is proved to treat this microorganism with aqueous extract of Punicagranatum?
Material and method
S.Typhi had been isolated and spp. Identified to be prepared as a module of anti-salmonella, isolation microorganisms cultivated for MIC determination of cotrimoxazole and aqueous Punic extract each one alone and their combination index.
Result
The minimum inhibitory concentration assay of the test combination between cotrimoxazole and the aqueous extract of Punicgranatum in micro/ml showed a noticeable increase in potency by combining the two test agents from 125 microgram /ml, 250 microgram/ml to 62.5 microgram/ml in cotrimoxazole, aqueous extract of Punicgranatum and the combination respectively P-value <0.05.
Conclusion
There was a strong synergism between cotrimoxazole and p. granatum aqueous extract against Salmonella Typhi in culture.
