Antibacterial Activity of Ethanolic Extracts of Aglaonema commutatum Schott and its Cultivars against Enterococcus faecalis Strains

The application of plants coming from tropical and subtropical regions in the management bacterial infections can be considered a positive occurrence most traditional medicine practices. Consequently, having antimicrobial activity against various pathogens great assets. Moreover, increased problems associated with side effects resistance to chemical drugs have prompted us focus on antibacterial potentials some belonging Aglaonema genus. purpose current study was examine ethanolic extracts derived commutatum Schott its cultivars (Malay Beauty, Silver Queen, King) two Enterococcus faecalis strains, i.e. (Andrewes Horder) Schleifer Kilpper-Balz 51299™ (resistant vancomycin; sensitive teicoplanin) 29212™. These were cultivated under glasshouse conditions at M.M. Gryshko National Botanical Garden, Academy Science Ukraine. testing plant carried out vitro by Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion technique. Results this revealed that leaves A. cv. Queen exhibited higher inhibitory growth E. than Melay Beauty King. Maximum inhibition scored cultivar followed commutatum, Malay On other hand, 29212™ King commutatum. King, Therefore, used treat diseases caused strains. There is lot for these bacteria. may helpful faecalis, especially However, further research required understand mechanisms involved activity.
