EVALUATING THE EFFICIENCY OF FICUS CARICA FRUITS AGAINST A FEW DRUG RESISTANT BACTERIAL PATHOGENS
*Jasmine R, Manikandan K, Brinda, Niveditha, Kalaivani, Thirupathi, Manikandan G
ABSTRACT The emergence of antibiotic resistance of clinically important pathogens has led the scientists to screen for plants as alternate therapeutic sources. In this study, we have evaluated two different extracts of Ficus carica against drug resistant human pathogens. The ethanol extracts was found to be more effective than methanol extract. The MIC values fell in the range of 0.94 to 30 μg/ml and hence it can be concluded that Ficus carica can be a potential source of therapeutic drugs. Further investigations to discover natural compounds that may serve as lead compounds for drug development are underprogress. Keywords: Ficus carica, Antibacterial, MIC, Drug resistant.
