“…According to the World Health Organization (WHO), it is estimated that the more than one million people are reported by acute diarrhoeal cases annually due to Vibrio cholerae infection [4]. Cholera caused by V. cholerae is one of the most notorious enteric pathogens responsible for many cholera outbreaks, which are motile, Gram negative, comma shape belonging to the family Vibrionaceae [5]. There are approximately 200 recognized serogroups, of which serogroup O1 and O139 are associated with cholera epidemics in humans [6].…”
Globally, the gastroenteritis or diarrhoea has become a more significant problem today due to infection caused by water-or foodborne pathogen Vibrio cholera. In this concern, an investigation was carried out to evaluate the vibriocidal potential of the different solvent extracts of leaf and rhizome of Maranta arundinacea under in vitro condition. For this, aqueous, methanolic, ethanolic, and hexane extracts of both leaf and rhizome of M. arundinacea were tested against the pre-isolated strains of V. cholerae, such as SPAB1, SPAB4, and SPAB5 by agar well diffusion and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) method. All the solvent extracts of both leaf and rhizome were found to be active against the tried strains of V. cholera; however, ethanolic extract showed maximum inhibitory effect against SPAB1 strain with an inhibition zone of 26.23 ± 0.53 mm (MIC of 80.00 ± 10.06 µg/ml) and 24.27 ± 0.12 mm (MIC of 100.00 ± 12.82 µg/ ml) in rhizome and leaf samples, respectively. Then, the effectiveness was followed in SPAB4 and SPAB5; however, it was not much more significant to that of SPAB1. Therefore, it was suggested that the rhizome and leaf extracts which proved to be potentially effective can be used as the natural alternative for the treatment of diarrhoea caused by Vibrio infection.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
