Antimicrobial and Wound Healing Activity of Gardenia aqualla Stem Bark Methanol Extract

Aim: This study was aimed at examining the antimicrobial and wound healing activities of Gardenia aqualla stem bark methanol extract (GASBME) in order to provide scientific basis for its properties.
 Methodology: Preliminary phytochemical screening done activity determined using some pathogenic micro-organisms were evaluated following effectiveness Wistar rats model superficial skin excision wound. Data analysed one-way analysis variance (ANOVA) followed by Dunnet’s t-test.
 Results: The results preliminary revealed presence carbohydrate, cardiac glycosides, saponins, flavonoids, triterpenes, tannins, alkaloids with anthraquinones being absent. showed on Staphylococcus aureus, Corynebacterium ulcerans, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia Salmonella typhi significant (p< 0.05, p< 0.001) decrease measurement 11th day.
 Conclusion: demonstrated that GASBME possesses properties justifies ethno-medicinal use plant wound/ulcer healings.
