Abstract
This study was carried out to determine the phytochemical constituents of garlic and the antimicrobial activities of fresh and fermented garlic extracts on six clinical gram negative bacterial isolates: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhii, Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, Klebsiella pneumonia and Pseudomonas species using standard extraction and microbiological procedure. The extracts were tested on the bacterial isolates at different concentrations of 12.5mg/ml, 25mg/ml, 50mg/ml and 100mg/ml. The results obtained showed that extract of dried garlic at 24 hours was more potent than that of fresh 24 hours and that both fresh and dried extracts fermented had similar inhibitory effects on the clinical isolates. The zones of inhibitions (mm) of dried Allium sativuum ranged from 9.0 mm-25.0 mm at 12.5mg/ml-100mg/ml and that of fresh Allium sativuum ranged from 9.6 mm-19.5 mm and at 25mg/ml-100mg/ml. Greater antimicrobial activity was also produced when garlic extract was combined with Erythromycin, ciprofloxacin and septrim. The qualitative phytochemical screening of Allium sativuum (garlic) revealed the presence of these eight phyto-metabolites: alkaloid, anthraquinone glycosides, flavonnoid, saponin, protein, reducing sugar, carbohydrate and hydroxable saponin. The antimicrobial potential of the extract of garlic (Allium sativuum) as observed in this study is subjected to the presence of the aforementioned secondary metabolites and as such can be an alternative to conventional antibiotics in fighting agents of infection.
