Abstract

A test was done to see if the medicinal herbs ginger and cinnamon would stop Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli from growing when their water and alcohol extracts were applied, additionally examined the bacterial isolates’ susceptibility to the medicines ampicillin and amoxicillin. To identify the concentrations in which the bacteria displayed their development, gradient concentrations of each plant extract were utilised, which yielded vitality almost equivalent to the control group. The alcoholic extracts had less activity in comparison with aqueous extracts of both plants improved activity in reducing bacterial growth at concentrations of (15, 25, 35) and (5, 15, 25%), respectively. Amoxicillin also demonstrated a clear inhibitory effect on E. coli at a concentration of 0.05 ml, while P. aeruginosa demonstrated a wide antibody resistance. Two bacterial isolates did not respond to ampicillin in any way.

肉桂和生姜水、醇提取物对某些微生物生长的抑制作用及抑菌效果

研究人员进行了一项试验，以观察生姜和肉桂的水和酒精提取物是否能阻止铜绿假单胞菌和大肠杆菌的生长，此外还检测了分离出的细菌对氨苄西林和阿莫西林的敏感性。为了确定细菌生长的浓度，使用了每种植物提取物的梯度浓度，其产生的活力几乎与对照组相当。两种植物在浓度分别为(15、25、35)和(5、15、25%)时，酒精提取物的抑制细菌生长的活性低于水提取物。阿莫西林在0.05 ml浓度下对大肠杆菌也有明显的抑制作用，而铜绿假单胞菌则表现出广泛的抗体耐药性。两种分离的细菌对氨苄西林没有任何反应。

期刊介绍： Asia, as a whole region, faces severe stress on water availability, primarily due to high population density. Many regions of the continent face severe problems of water pollution on local as well as regional scale and these have to be tackled with a pan-Asian approach. However, the available literature on the subject is generally based on research done in Europe and North America. Therefore, there is an urgent and strong need for an Asian journal with its focus on the region and wherein the region specific problems are addressed in an intelligent manner. In Asia, besides water, there are several other issues related to environment, such as; global warming and its impact; intense land/use and shifting pattern of agriculture; issues related to fertilizer applications and pesticide residues in soil and water; and solid and liquid waste management particularly in industrial and urban areas. Asia is also a region with intense mining activities whereby serious environmental problems related to land/use, loss of top soil, water pollution and acid mine drainage are faced by various communities. Essentially, Asians are confronted with environmental problems on many fronts. Many pressing issues in the region interlink various aspects of environmental problems faced by population in this densely habited region in the world. Pollution is one such serious issue for many countries since there are many transnational water bodies that spread the pollutants across the entire region. Water, environment and pollution together constitute a three axial problem that all concerned people in the region would like to focus on.
