Objective: To investigate the bacteriostatic activity of water extracting-alcohol precipitating solution of Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus. Method: Extracting the active compounds by the method of water extracting-alcohol precipitating
with reference culture strains including Escherichia coli
Bacillus subtilis
Staphylococcus aureus
Salmonella and wild E.coli as tested bacteria
the antimicrobial activity variation tendency of the extract of Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus and ciprofloxacin at incubation time 16
32
48
64 h was monitored by the method of cup plate assay method. Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimal bactericidal concentration (MBC) were determined by two-fold dilution method. Result: Extract of Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus had a notable inhibiting microorganism activity to all tested bacteria. Extract of Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus exhibit great superiority compared to ciprofloxacin in inhibiting the ciprofloxacin-resistant strains. The antimicrobial activity variation of Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus and ciprofloxacin showed a gradual decline tendency. Conclusion: The study indicates that extract of Schisandrae Chinese Fructus could be a new antibacterial agent due to its broad-spectrum bacteriostatic activity and the inhibiting activity to resistant bacteria.
