Antimicrobial ation in plant tanifferous anaerobic bacteria isolated of footrot

Abstract

Footrot is a disease that causes economic damage to numerous sheep industry. The conventional treatment is costly and promotes antibiotic resistance, the use of herbal medicine is an alternative to reduce production costs because of its low cost, easy access, and reduce residues in food of animal origin and increase the life of antibiotics. This study aimed to test the antimicrobial sensitivity of plants: Jurema preta (Mimosa tenuiflora), Jurema vermelha (Mimosa arenosa), Cajueiro (Anacardium occidentale), Angico vermelho (Parapiptadenia rigida Benth. Brenan) Quixabeira (Bumelia sertorium Mart) in bacteria anaerobes isolated from lesions of foot pad dermatitis of sheep in the flock of the School of Veterinary Medicine, Federal University of Bahia. Samples were collected from the deepest part of the hull inoculated into cooked meat broth and seeded on agar sangue with cristal violeta e cisteína means by isolating and identifying bacteria: Dichelobacter nodosus, Fusobacterium necrophorum, Bacteroides fragilis, Prevotella Melaninogenica, Bacteroides intermedius, Fusobacterium perfoetens and Bacteroides ovatus. The analysis showed that the hydroalcoholic extracts of the plants studied showed antimicrobial activity with inhibition zone> 6 mm.
