Abstract: RESUMO:Staphylococus aureus apresenta-se como microrganismo patogênico clássico sendo comumente reconhecido como agente etiológico de infecções hospitalares e comunitárias. Através do conhecimento das propriedades biológicas da Lippia sidoides Cham., conhecida como alecrimpimenta, esta pesquisa teve como objetivo avaliar a atividade antimicrobiana in vitro do extrato metanólico desta planta em inibir o crescimento de isolados biológicos de S. aureus de origem humana hospitalar. Utilizou-se o método de difusão … Show more

“…The methanolic extracts of L. sidoides leaves were used to inhibit growth of S. aureus of hospital origin in vitro; the inhibition zones of growth ranged between 9 and 27 mm with all samples showing sensitiveness until the dilution of 1:16 (0.053 g mL -1 ) [62]. The ethanolic extract also showed inhibitory activity against S. aureus and other Gram-positive bacteria, such as E. coli, B. subtilis and M. smegmatis, being as effective as fluconazole [56].…”

“…Recently, many studies have been performed to verify the antimicrobial activities of plant extracts and many extracts have demonstrated good potential applications against diverse groups of microorganisms (Costa et al, 2008;Silva et al, 2010;Gonçalves et al, 2013). Natural products are available alternative to discover new substances.…”

“…The natural products can be an alternative to the bacterial resistance to usual antibacterial therapy, once they are important source of new drugs (Silva et al, 2010). The Staphylococus aureus can cause endocarditis, gastroenteritis, pneumonia and skin infections, and the Staphylococcus epidermides is a skin normal habitant, that can cause endocarditis and it can be an opportunist pathogen of urinary tract (Medline, 2009).…”
