Helicobacter pylori Diagnosis, Virulence Genes, Resistance to Conventional antibiotics and Antimicrobial activity of selected Medicinal plants
Background
Ethnobotanical Survey Plant Identification Drying and & Soaking in Solvents Agar Diffusion Method Minimum Inhibitory Concentration & Minimum Bactericidal Concentration Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry
Results
Determination of Minimum Inhibitory concentration (MIC) of Methanol Extracts of B. micrantha against clinical isolates of H. pylori
Discussion
Recommendations Need for the MOH to mainstream Pronto dry rapid ureaseĀ® in the diagnosis of H. pylori infection MOH should review the combination therapy for H. pylori Routine testing to identify the severity and administer antibiotics appropriately for eradication Study results suggest that the plants are a good source of active antibacterial agent Further studies on medicinal plants as a source of new anti- H. pylori agent
