Microorganisms resistant to conventional antimicrobial substances are becoming more prevalent. Accordingly, natural alternatives have been sought with the use of extracts from medicinal plants whose purpose is to find new compounds with recognized antimicrobial activity. This work aims to show the efficacy of the cajá (Spondias mombin L.) leaf decoction using the microplate dilution technique against Staphylococcus sp, a bacterial strain isolated from cases of subclinical mastitis in dairy goat matrices. The 5% probability test was used to compare the means among the studied treatments. Leaf extract from the cajá was effective at concentrations of 1:1 and 1:2 against all strains of Staphylococcus coagulase negative, regardless of storage temperatures. All strains were resistant to amoxicillin + clavulanate, ampicillin, cefepime and ceftazidime, being characterized with a multiresistant profile.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
