REACTIVE OXYGEN SPECIES AS POSSIBLE MEDIATOR OF ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY OF PARKIA JAVANICA, AGAINST BACTERIAL SPECIES PREDOMINANTLY FOUND IN CHRONIC WOUND.

Kumar, Sil Samir; Susmita, Saha; Parimal, Karmakar

The crude methanol extract of Parkia javanica was screened for antibacterial activity. against bacterial species predominantly found in chronic wound, by serial dilution technique. Growth kinetics study was performed and percentage of ROS production was measured by NBT reduction assay. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) were obtained with a range of IC100 5-40 mg/ml in case of standard bacterial strains. The lag phase of all extract treated bacteria is extended compared to untreated cells. The normalized % of ROS is increased in presence of crude extract. This study suggests that the crude methanol extract of Parkia javanica possesses promising antimicrobial substances which are having activity against Standard ATCC bacterial species and ROS induced DNA damage could be the possible mediator of its antimicrobial activity.
