Abstract :
Objectives This paper aimed to explore the antimicrobial effects
Mentha piperita, Solanum nigrum,
Mentha longifolia, and Withania
somnifera on food pathogens. Methods Plant extracts were
obtained using the rotary system, the minimum inhibitory concentration
and diluting method, and examined against bacteria such as
Staphylococcus aureus ATCC1189, Shigella
dysenteriae ATCC1188, Listeria
monocytogenes ATCC1298, Vibrio cholera
ATCC1611, and Bacillus cereus ATCC101. Results The
results showed that extracts with various inhibitory ppm could inhibit
the growth of antigenic bacteria so that the extract of Solanum
nigrum could strongly inhibit S. aureus,
Listeria, and Vibrio; and the
extract of Mentha longifolia with 6.25 ppm can
inhibit B. cereus. Conclusions The obtained results
revealed that the extracts could strongly inhibit the bacteria in foods
and that Solanum nigrum showed the highest
antibacterial effect.
