Comparison of the Antibacterial Activity of the Ethanol Extract vs Hydroalcoholic Extract of the Leaves of Mangifera indica L. (Mango) in Different Concentrations: An In Vitro Study

Abstract

Aim: To compare the in vitro antibacterial activity of different types of hydroalcoholic extracts of the leaves of the Mangifera indica L. (mango) plant on the strain of Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538™. Materials and methods: This study was experimental in vitro and determined the antibacterial activity of four dilutions: Mangifera indica L. ethanol extract (MEE) and Mangifera indica L. hydroalcoholic extract (MHE) at 50% and 100% on cultures of S. aureus ATCC 6538™ comparing with the positive control (chlorhexidine 0.12%) and negative (alcohol 96°) in Mueller Hinton agar cultures using the Kirby-Bauer diffusion method for each study group and incubating the cultures at 37°C for 24 hours.Results: It was found that the 50% and 100% MEE had a smaller size of the inhibitory halo of 21.3 ± 0.5 and 24.1 ± 0.8 mm, respectively. In addition, with respect to the 50% and 100% MHE, it was found that they had a higher antibacterial activity of 24.6 ± 0.5 and 33.5 ± 1.2 mm, respectively. Conclusion: Mango leaf extracts are potent antibacterial, proving 100% MHE to be more effective, thus confirming the presence of active constituents in medicinal plants. Clinical significance: This research has a great clinical applicability due to the opening of research lines that prove the usefulness of these extracts in the therapeutic control of certain oral diseases.

Aqueous Flower Extract of Mangifera indica: An Investigation into its In Vitro Anti-Diabetic Effects

“…When insulin production is insufficient, either alone or in conjunction with insulin resistance, metabolic abnormalities and inappropriate hyperglycemia manifest as a syndrome. An "iceberg" disease is diabetes (Cardenas et al, 2020). Type 2 diabetes mellitus accounts for 90% of all occurrences worldwide, making it the most common type of diabetes.…”

Synergy of Plant Essential Oils in Antibiotic Therapy to Combat Klebsiella pneumoniae Infections

“…However, the synergy between antimicrobial agents, plant extracts, and EOs is a new concept that has yet to be studied. A positive effect has been observed in using tetracycline and erythromycin with ethanolic mango peel extract ( Mangifera indica ) against S. aureus [ 26 , 27 , 28 ]. The methanolic extract of Damascus rose ( Rosa damascena ) decreases the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of tetracycline against P. aeruginosa [ 29 ].…”

Action of Mangifera indica Leaf Extract on Acne-Prone Skin through Sebum Harmonization and Targeting C. acnes

“…Mangiferin is widely distributed in higher plants where it provides protection against different forms of static and dynamic stresses including pathogenic microorganisms [ 20 ]. Moreover, preclinical in tubo studies have shown that the ethanolic fraction obtained from Mangifera indica leaves and kernel is a potential anti-acne agent due to its inhibition activity against C. acnes , as well as its potent free-radical scavenging and inhibitory effects on acne-related pro-inflammatory cytokines [ 21 , 22 , 23 ].…”
