| Abstract | Many of Zingiberaceous plants play important roles in Thai society more than hundred years ago. For example, they are used as herbal medicines for disorders related to digestive tract. Even though the pharmacology and chemical compositions of these plants were reported, but there are only a few reports on antibacterial activities. This study intend to screen for antibacterial property of the ethanolic extracts from some Zingiberaceae species i.e. Zingiber montanum, Z. ottensii, Z. officinale, Z. zerumbet, Zingiber 'Phlai Chomphu', Alpinia galanga, Boesenbergia rotunda, and Kaempferia parviflora. The ethanolic extracts were tested with bacteria which are the common causes of diarrhea and food poisoning in humans, Salmonella typhimurium, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Listeria monocytogenes, and Mycobacterium smegmatis. The test, OD was measured under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions. It found that under aerobic condition the extracts of Z. officinale and Zingiber 'Phlai Chomphu' showed the effect against L. monocytogenes while the extracts from Zingiber 'Phlai Chomphu', B. rotunda and K. parviflora showed the effect against M. smegmatis. For anaerobic condition, the extracts of Z. officinale, Zingiber 'Phlai Chomphu' and A. galanga showed the effect against S. typhimurium whereas the extracts of K. parviflora showed the effect against S. aureus. The extracts of Z. montanum, Z. ottensii and Z. zerumbet showed no antibacterial property while those of Zingiber 'Phlai Chomphu' and A. galanga showed the strongest antimicrobial property. |
