| Summary: | <b>Aim:</b> The aim of the current study was to determine the antimicrobial
effect of Nerium oleander distillate.<p>
<b>Material and Method:</b> Collected Nerium oleander plant was
identified and authenticated. Nerium oleander was washed
and chopped, later sufficient distilled water was added. The
mixture was distillated by distillatory device. After the plantdistillated
water mixture was started to evaporate, vapor was
separated to other clean glass containers. Obtained Nerium
oleander distillate was lyophilized in small glass bottle, and
dry material was collected. Lyophilized dry material was dissolved
at concentration of 5 mg/mL with distillated water,
and its antimicrobial effect was investigated against to Escherichia
coli, Salmonella Typhimurium, Salmonella Enteritidis,
Staphylococcus aureus, Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus
aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Streptococcus pneumonia,
Listeria monocytogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and
Candida ssp. by agar well-diffusion method.<p>
<b>Result:</b> Nerium oleander distillate did no show any antimicrobial
effect against to tested microorganism.<p>
<b>Conclusion:</b> It may be stated that Nerium oleander distillate
has no antimicrobial effect contrary to its chemical extracts. |
