Homeopathic medicine activity on the growth of Gram-negative bacteria

Introduction: Homeopathy is a therapy that uses medications prepared with infinitesimal and dynamized dilutions. Current studies demonstrate in vitro activity of homeopathy on gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus Streptococcus pyogenes. Among bacterial infections, urinary tract infection (UTI) frequent, leads to later consequences the main causal agent Escherichia coli (E. coli). In other publications, it has been reported inactivity E. cultures. Due divergence literature, objective this study was evaluate gram-negative growth under treatment. Methods: The medicines Atropa belladona, Cantharis, Staphysagria, Colibacillinum were tested at 6CH, 12CH 30CH ATCC 25922 EPEC (Enteropathogenic coli) 43887. Two hundred fifty microliters alcohol 30% incubated 37ºC 3 mL Müller Hinton broth (MH), 10 μL cultures 0.5 Macfarland subsequent dilution 1/10. Bacterial evaluated spectrophotometer 600nm, periods 6, 12, 20 hours incubation. Results Discussion: results showed no inhibition studied conditions. These data corroborate already published indicate absence action Considering studies, can be suggested homeopathic have direct Gram-positive not Gram-negative bacteria. Evaluating two groups, possible assume difference could linked differences wall structure. This hypothesis should by tests same strains. Conclusion:
