Synergistic Effect Of Tridax Procumbens Leaf Extracts And Antibiotics Against Vibrio Parahaemolyticus Isolated From Fresh Water Shrimp

Abstract

The main cause of human infections associated with seafood is Vibrio spp. One of the most commonly reported species is Vibrio parahaemolyticus. The antibacterial activity of methanolic extracts of Tridax procumbens against Vibrio parahaemolyticus, which was isolated from freshwater tiger prawns, was examined in this work. Additionally, we assessed the antibacterial activity of methanolic extracts of Tridax procumbens at varying doses against Vibrio parahaemolyticus, as well as their total phenolic and flavonoid contents. The growth of Vibrio parahaemolyticus isolated from prawns is efficiently inhibited by the synergistic impact of methanolic extracts of Tridax procumbens leaves combined with conventional antibiotics, with an inhibition zone ranging from 15 to 29 mm.
