The Arrabidae chica, popularly known in the Amazon as crajirú, is a plant in sheets long and green, quite consumed in form in tea, this one it presents an color red strong and what in Agreement with The knowledge popular, treat several diseases, but its anti-inflammatory and healing properties are what call Warning. At researches aiming prove scientifically The Benefits of this plant, as well as the investigation of new biological applications, among them the activity against fungus and bacteria, he has increased and obtained results promising. The World Health Organization (W.H.O.), so as several specialists in the field of health comes warning about you dangers of emergence in each turn more strains in microorganisms resistant to the antibiotics used currently, emphasizing the need to seek new ways to combat these strains, one of the alternatives being explored is the extracts produced from natural components, such as plants, that can alone or in conjunction with other chemical components exert greater effect on combating these microorganisms. This research aims to evaluate the inhibitory potential of ethanolic extracts, obtained the leave of the process static, ultrasound and soxleht, of Arrabidae leaves _ chica against the growth of pathogenic microorganisms: Staphylococcus aureus, escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumonia e. In the petri dishes _ containing Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa microorganisms grew freely, indicating what not there was inhibition, However, in the plates containing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae showed halos, indicating a result positive inhibitor. The observations followed for three consecutive days and the tests were executed in quadruplicates.
