Abstract

Objectives: To produce broad-spectrum antimicrobial compounds, it is still important to assess the antibacterial potential of medicinal plants. Traditional medicine is one of the most generally available types of treatment in disadvantaged countries. The current study's goal was to assess the antibacterial activity of Punica granatum peel extract against MDR salmonella typhimurium.

Methods: This study tested Punica granatum's antibacterial efficacy using the disk diffusion method. Amoxicillin and Punica granatum peel extract are effective against MDR Salmonella typhimurium.

Results: It was discovered that Punica granatum crude extract worked well against MDR salmonella typhimurium. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and zone of inhibition values for the crude Punica granatum Peel Extract were found to be 1 mg/ml and 09 ± 0.50 mm to 19.50 ± 0.00 mm, respectively.

Conclusions: According to the study's findings, Punica granatum crude Peel Extract has in-vitro antibacterial activity, providing early evidence that the plant may be used to treat MDR infections.

Keywords: Salmonella Typhimurium; Multidrug Resistance; Punica granatum; Zones of Inhibition; Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC)
