THE ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY OF ETHANOLIC EXTRACT OBTAINED FROM LEAVES OF COELOGYNE BRACHYPTERA RCHB. F. (ORCHIDACEAE)

A number of medicinal orchids have been screened for antimicrobial activity in recent years. As a result, many scientists have reported antimicrobial properties of various orchid species, including Coelogyne spp. The aim of the present study was to investigate the antibacterial effects of ethanolic extract obtained from Coelogyne brachyptera Rchb.f. leaves against specific Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 and methicillin-resistant S. aureus locally isolated) and Gram-negative bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853, metallo-beta-lactamases (MβL)-positive Pseudomonas aeruginosa locally isolated, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Salmonella enteriditis locally isolated). Our results showed that the ethanolic extract of C. brachyptera leaves showed strong activity against the Gram-positive bacterial strains (20 mm diameter of inhibition zone for S. aureus and 26.5 mm for meticillin-resistant S. aureus), and moderate activity against Gram-negative bacteria (18.2 mm for E. coli, 16.5 mm for P. aeruginosa and 18.3 mm for (MβL) P. aeruginosa, and 14.8 mm for S. enteriditis). The present study revealed the good antimicrobial activities of ethanolic extract obtained from leaves of C. brachyptera. A Gram-positive strains (S. aureus and meticillin-resistant S. aureus) were more susceptible to the ethanolic leaf extracts of C. brachyptera as compared to Gram-negative bacteria. Beside, extract of C. brachyptera leaves has displayed strong inhibitory effect against S. aureus and meticillin-resistant S. aureus. To conclude, further work is required to find out the active substances from C. brachyptera plant extracts and to carry out pharmacological studies.

Key words: Coelogyne brachyptera, leaves, extract, antimicrobial activity, paper disc diffusion method.
