“…Tanis et al (2009) reported that chloroform and methanol extract of N. arvensis and N. unguicularis were the least effective against the microorganisms. These data coincide with those of Okoli and Iroegbu (2004), who reported that water and methanol extracts of some plants displayed a significant antimicrobial activities. Similarly, Basri and Fan (2005) had reported that the aqueous and acetone extracts of galls of Quercus infectoria (Oak) displayed similarities in antimicrobial activity on the bacterial species and as such, it is the potentially source of antimicrobials.…”

The importance to push scientifically the investigations on the organic extracts of the plants aromatic as potential source of new antimicrobial compounds comes from the traditional use of the plants. However, the consumption of these natural products requires à thorough research in this field. The antimicrobial effect of organic and aqueous leaves extracts of Foeniculum vulgare Mill., However, which makes difficult this antimicrobial activity, is the insolubility of organic extracts in water. The standard M27-T technique is basically used to cure this problem. The microorganisms under examination were Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterococcus hirea, Escherichia coli and Candida albicans. The M27-T technique allowed us to determine the Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations (MICs) of different extracts. Therefore, the test's results showed that the all samples were clearly different in terms of antimicrobial activities. All extracts of Foeniculum vulgare showed the most activity on all the microorganisms tested. The most significant and active extract under study were methanol and ethyl acetate on all the bacteria tested in comparaison to the hexane and aqueous extracts. On the other hand, the results of antimicrobial activity of aqueous extract were more compelling than the hexane and dichloromethane extracts when used on Candida albicans (ATCC and CBS) (MIC = 0,78 mg mL −1 ). It then appear that C. albicans ATCC is the least susceptible microorganisms to the ethyl acetate extract. The chloramphenicol, amoxicillin and amphotericin B were used as standard antibiotics to carry this study.

“…Antibacterial activity was tested by the disc diffusion method (Okoli and Iroegbu, 2004). A 0.2 ml of volume of the standard inoculums (106-107 CFU) of the test bacterial strain was spread on Muller Hinton Agar (MHA) with a sterile bent glass rod spreader and allowed to dry.…”

Volatile oils are one of the groups of secondary metabolites produced by some plants. Their probable users against burn microbes have received little attention. Burn swabs obtained from ten burned patients at Government hospital, led to the isolation of bacteria using standard methods, the microorganisms were isolated. Then chloroform, methanol and aqueous extract of volatile of Ixora Cocciniea against S.aureus, E.coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, P.vulgaris and K.pnemoniae exhibited antibacterial were found efficacious respectively.

“…In contrast Nauclea latifolia which is not frequently used by Tem people in the treatment of female sexual disorders and infertility has shown a good in vitro estrogenic activity (Njamen et al, 2008). In addition, Anthocleista djalonensis which is used as single plant in the management of sexual disorders in the present study has been found to exert good antimicrobial activity against non-gonococcal urethritis bacteria (Okoli and Iroegbu, 2004).…”

In Africa, up to 80% of the population relies on herbal concoctions for their primarily health care. In Togo, western Africa, Tem tribe is a population with old knowledge of medicinal plants, however, still very little is known about their medical practices. The present study was conducted to access for the apprehension of adverse effects of traditional remedies by Tem traditional healers (TH). Enquiry was performed by interviews with healers from August to October 2007 in Tchaoudjo prefecture (Togo). The study allowed us to interview 54 TH including 41(75.93%) males and 13(24.07%) females, who cited 102 recipes assumed to have adverse effects. The recipes were used alone to cure several diseases including haemorrhoids (22.55%), female sexual disorders and infertility (21.57%), gastrointestinal disorders (18.63%), and malaria (6.86%). A total of 34 plants belonging to 21 families were cited to be components of the recipes. Euphorbiaceae and Mimosaceae families were the most represented, however, Nauclea latifolia, Khaya senegalensis, Pseudocedrela kotschyi and Xeroderris stuhlmannii were the main components of recipes linked to adverse effects. A total of 20 adverse effects were linked to the administration of theses drugs, and among them; diarrhoea, abdominal pains, polyuria, general weakness and vomiting were the most frequently encountered. These findings were in accordance with several reports of the literature concerning medicinal plants, although they were based on empirical observations. Laboratory screenings are needed to access for the effectiveness as well as the possible toxic effects of the recipes.
