Abstract

Aim: Aqueous and methanol extracts of Allium sativum (clove and peel) were investigated for their antibacterial properties in in-vitro assay against four marine pathogens, Aeromonas hydrophila, Vibrio anguillarum, Vibrio alginolyticus? and Vibrio harveyi. ????

 

Methodology: Different concentrations of methanol and aqueous garlic extracts were used in different methods including the disc-diffusion, minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC) assay. ????

 

Results: The aqueous extract of A. sativum (clove and peel) had no antibacterial effect against the pathogenic bacteria tested, while the clove extract of methanol showed a strong inhibition activity against pathogens tested. The largest inhibition zone was observed against A. hydrophila (15.3?0.3) and the least were detected against V. anguillarum (11.0?0.6) and V. harveyi (11.0?0.6). The MIC and MBC values revealed that A. hydrophila was inhibited by a supernatant extract of clove at the lowest concentration of 0.6 mg ml-1, while other pathogens were inhibited at the concentration of 0.8 and 1.0 mg ml-1.

 

Interpretation: This study suggests that clove extract of A. sativum has the potential to be used as a phytobiotics in controlling the growth of marine pathogens.
