“…Therapeutic potential of kolaviron was shown in treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (Kalu et al, 2016). Nwaokorie et al (2010) reported the effect of the extracts on Fusobacterium nucleatum while the methanolic and aqueous extracts of the kola seeds were evaluated by Penduka et al (2011) on Vibrio isolates and reported that both extracts inhibited the activities of the tested organisms.…”

Diameter of inhibitory zone on Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Streptococcus pyogenes were determined by evaluating Ethanol and water extract of bitter kola (Garcinia kola) and garlic (Allium sativum) at concentrations of sample A: (BC 100:0 G), B: (BC 80:20 G), C: (BC 60:40 G), D: (BC 40:60), E: (BC 20:80 G), F: (BC 0:100 G) and all concentrations were treated with 150ml ethanol and water extracts. For this experiment, the bitter kola and garlic were dried and milled and biotic extraction was done at different concentrations or ratios .The results showed that the diameter of inhibition for E.coli and Staphylococcus aureus on ethanol extracts values ranged from (8.20mm -19.22mm) and (8.22mm – 20.16mm) respectively with sample D (40g of Bitter kola + 60g of garlic) has the highest diameter of inhibition with a value of 1.92mm for E.coli and 2.07mm for staphylococcus aureus making it a good antimicrobial agent. While for Streptococcus aureus, the extracted ethanol solvent of sample C (60g of bitter kola + 40g of garlic) has the higher diameter of inhibition value of 1.15mm. Water extract values of diameter of Inhibitory zone were generally lower than the ethanol extract values for all organisms listed. This implies that water extract exhibited lower capacity of microbial inhibition to E.coli, streptococcus and staphylococcus aureus under the condition of study.

BACKGROUND Irrigation solution is needed to lower the number of microorganisms in the root canal. Irrigation solution commonly used have flaws. It required the development of alternative irrigation materials from natural ingredients, one of which is the fruit of noni because it has antibacterial properties and is a biocompatible bonding agent. This research aims to know the antibacterial effect of the ethanol extract of the fruit of nonito on Fusobacterium nucleatum by determining the value of the Minimal Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimal Bactericidal Concentration (MBC). METHODS The research starts with drying noni fruit (3 kg) and obtained 400-gram of simplisia extracted with 5 L of ethanol 70% solvent, then evaporated to 50 grams. Antibacterial test was done using the method of dilution and diffusion. Dilution methoddetermination of turbidity was done by observing the MIC tubes visually and compared with control McFarland after being incubated for 24 hours at a temperature of 37 0 C, then amount of bacteria was calculated to get a value of MBC. Diffusion methodsusing paper discs that absorb extract. Drag zone formed around the disk is measured with a ruler. Data obtained from this study is analysed with the test of Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney. RESULTS In dilution method, the tube starts to look crystal clear at a concentration of 12.5% and the absence of bacteria at a concentration of 25% to 100%. In diffusion method, the smallest zone was seen at concentrations of 12.5%. CONCLUSIONS Ethanol extract of noni fruit has antibacterial effects against Fusobacterium nucleatum MIC 12.5% to the value and the value of the MBC 25%. HOW TO CITE THIS ARTICLE: Boel T, Dennis.
