摘要

In southwestern Nigeria, ethnobotanical investigation confirmed that?Afzelia africana, Alstonia boonei, Azadirachta indica,?Ficus exasperata,?Senna alata,?Tetrapleura tetraptera?and?Xylopia aethiopica?are commonly used in the treatment of skin infections. Therefore, this study examined the?in vitro?antimicrobial activity of crude methanol extracts of the ethnobotanicals against clinical isolates of?Candida albicans, Staphylococcus?aureus?and?Streptococcus pyogenes?associated with skin infections. The isolates (1×10-1 _?1×10-6?cfu/ml) were tested against plant extracts (500 mg/ml) using agar-well diffusion method. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) was determined using broth dilution method. At 10-4?cfu/ml inoculum concentration,?C. albicans?was significantly susceptible (P≤0.05) to methanol extracts of?S. alata?and?X. aethiopica?with 25.0 mm zone of inhibition, while?T. tetraptera?was the most active onS. aureus?with 21.5 mm and?S. pyogenes?was significantly susceptible to?A. africana,A. boonei,?S. alata?and?T. tetraptera?with 25.0 mm zone of inhibition. The significant antimicrobial activities exhibited by the methanol extracts of the ethnobotanicals confirmed their therapeutic potentials in the treatment of skin infections. Also soap, cream and ointment could be prepared from these ethnobotanicals for topical application in the treatment of skin infections. However, their toxicity tests will ascertain safety in administration.
