Open-access Evaluation of antimicrobial activity of the Tradescantia pallida Munt plant (Taboquinha Roxa).

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to investigate the in vitro antimicrobial effect of the hydroalcoholic extract of the Tradescantia pallida Munt leaves,known as Taboquinha roxa. The tests were both conducted on solid mean, where it was not observed any zone of inhibition, and by the micro dilution method, in which the results of the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and the Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) were significant and related with the different concentrations. Standard strains of bacteria type Gram positive and Gram negative were employed. According to the results, this plant has an antimicrobial potential.

Keywords Tradescantia pallida Munt; Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC)
