Isolation of Antibiotic-resistant Bacteria and Evaluation of Antibacterial Activity of Ipomoea spp. Plants Extracts Against Isolates

Abstract

The elevated trouble of drug-resistant bacteria organisms poses a huge menace to a wide range emphasizing the need for alternative therapies. This study evaluates herbal remedies as substitutes for standard antibiotics in treating infections caused by unsusceptible strains. The overuse of conventional antibiotics has intensified resistance highlighting the necessity for innovative pharmacological approaches. Pathogenic bacteria infected samples strains were segregated from specimens collected from hospitals and clinical laboratories including pus, blood and urine, antibiotic susceptibility testing was conducted as per Clinical and Laboratory Standard Institute guidelines and its results showed are markable spectrum of resistance. Herbal efficacy was assessed using extracts from different parts of Ipomoea saggitifolia, Ipomoea carnea, and Ipomoea cairica, prepared with various solvents through maceration. Antibacterial properties were evaluated using the agar diffusion method, measuring the zone of inhibition (ZOI). The findings showed notable antibacterial activity in various parts of the plant, influenced by solvent choice. The water-based stem extract was more effective, while the methanol-based leaf extract also demonstrated efficacy. Some extracts significantly inhibited drug-resistant bacteria, suggesting that these herbal remedies may contain bioactive compounds that could serve as alternatives to conventional antibiotics.
