Vibrio spp.from Macrobrachium amazonicum prawn farming are inhibited by Moringa oleifera extracts

Objective:To investigate the in vitro antimicrobial potential of extracts of stem,leaves,flowers,pods and seeds of Moringu okifera(M.okifera) against Vibrio spp.from hatchery water and the prawn Mmrobrachium amazonicum.Methods:The ethanol extracts of stem,leaves,pods and seeds and chloroform extract...

Description
Summary:Objective:To investigate the in vitro antimicrobial potential of extracts of stem,leaves,flowers,pods and seeds of Moringu okifera(M.okifera) against Vibrio spp.from hatchery water and the prawn Mmrobrachium amazonicum.Methods:The ethanol extracts of stem,leaves,pods and seeds and chloroform extract of flowers of M.oleifera were tested against Vibrio cholerue(V.cholerae) serogroups non-O1/non-O139(n=4).Vibrio vulnificus(n=l) and Vibrio mimicus(n=1).Escherichia coli(E.coli)(ATCC(?) 25922) was used as quality control.Vibrio species were obtained from Macmbrachium amazonicum prawns and from hatchery water from prawn farming.The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration(MIC) was determined by broth microdilution method.Results:The best result was obtained with the ethanol extract of pods,which inhibited three strains of the V.choleme,Vibrio vulnificus,Vibrio minimis and E.coli(MIC range 0.312-5.000 mg/mL).The chloroform extract of flowers was effective against all V.chokrae strains and E.coli(MIC range 0.625-1.250 mg/mL).However,the ethanol extracts of stem and seeds showed low effectiveness in inhibiting the bacterial growth.Conclusions:The extracts of pods,flowers and leaves of M.oleifera have potential for the control of Vibrio spp.Further studies are necessary to isolate the bioaetive compounds responsible for this antimicrobial activity.
