Study of Antimicrobial Activity of Lime Juice against <i>Vibrio cholerae</i>

Abstract: Abstract:The antimicrobial effect of crude extract of lime (Citrus aurantifolia) was assayed against different bacterial species by agar well diffusion method. The highest inhibition zone of 28 mm was observed in Vibrio cholerae followed by Enterobacter species (9mm), Citrobacter species (8mm) and Escherichia coli (8mm). Shigella, Salmonella and Klebsiella species were found resistant. So the study was mainly focused on V. cholerae. Different concentrations of the crude extract such as 75%, 50%, 25% and 5% wer… Show more

“…Among the tested accessions (Valencia orange, Balady mandarin, Eureka and Rough lemon, Balady lime, Balady sour orange, Duncan grapefruit and Egyptian pummelo), that represent different citrus groups, lime and lemon juices exhibited the highest biological activity. Lemons and limes have been known as an important medicinal plants and the potentiality of their juices as antimicrobial agents was previously confirmed (Tomotake et al, 2006;Jayana et al, 2010;Bansode and Chavan, 2012;Hindi and Chabuck, 2013). In general, antimicrobial activity of Citrus may be referred to their rich content of flavonoids.…”

“…Razak et al (2012) menyimpulkan bahwa semakin besar konsentrasi air perasan jeruk nipis yang diberikan, maka daya hambat terhadap bakteri Staphylococcus aureus semakin besar pula [3]. Jayana et al (2010) menguji efek antimikroba air perasan jeruk nipis pada beberapa spesies bakteri yang berbeda dengan metode difusi agar. Zona hambat terbentuk pada bakteri Vibrio cholera, Enterobacter sp, Citrobacter, dan Esherichia coli [4].…”
