| Abstract: | Based on its traditional uses in folk medicine, the whole flower extract of Mesua ferrea Linn. was tested for its in vitro antimicrobial efficacy against five different strains of Salmonella spp. All the strains were found to be highly sensitive to the extract. MIC of the extract against each organism being 50 μg/ml. The extract was tested in vitro for its mode of antibacterial activity against S. Typhimurium NCTC 74 and it was found to be bactericidal in action. In vivo studies of this extract offered significant protection to Swiss albino mice at doses ≈ 2 and 4 mg/mouse when challenged with 50 median lethal dose of S. Typhimurium NCTC 74. Further, the ex tract caused statistically significant reduction in viable count of the strain in liver, spleen and heart blood of challenged mice. |
