The study of the properties of the biomedical activity of different plant species due to
their less aggressive action and the absence of side effects is relevant. Particular
importance is attached to the antimicrobial effects of plants
on different types of
microorganisms. Gentiana (Gentiana) is a fairly common plant, more than 400 species
has medicinal value, mainly the root part is used.
In Uzbekistan, Gentiana Oliveri is
found, which is used in folk medicine for gastrointestinal disorders of various etiologies
in the form of an infusion of dried aerial parts of plants. Purposeful study of the
antimicrobial activity of extracts from the aerial part of Gentiana
oliveri is an urgent
task.
The purpose of the study. To study the bactericidal activity in vitro of aqueous and
alcoholic extracts of the aerial part of Gentiana oliveri.
Material and methods. Aqueous, 30% and 40% alcoholic extracts were prepared
from crushed aerial parts by continuous extraction. The antimicrobial activity of the
extracts was studied on clinical cultures of bacteria isolated
from patients undergoing
treatment in RCH 1.
Results and discussion. An aqueous extract of Gentiana oliveri inhibited the growth
of Stafilococcus aureus by 67% higher than the control, gram-negative rods (
E. coli
,
klebsiella) - by 16%. A 30% alcohol extract showed less bactericidal activity - 33%
higher against St. aureus and 16% against E. coli and klebsiella. A 40% alcohol solution
showed low bactericidal activity against Gram-positive St. aureus, and against gram-
negative bacteria from 16% to 33% relative to the control.
Our results showed a high
bactericidal activity of the aqueous extract of Gentiana oliveri against gram-positive
microbes St. aureus. These data are important, since staphylococci are one of the most
common microorganisms that cause purulent-inflammatory diseases: various tissues of
the human body.
Thus, our studies revealed a significant bactericidal activity of the aqueous extract of
Gentiana oliveri. These data require further immuno-physiological study of the action of
the aerial part of this plant, the mechanisms of its bactericidal activity.
