Antimicrobial activity of roselle (hibiscus sabdariffa) calyx extract against pathogenic bacteria / Adeline Alui Peterik

Hibiscus sabdariffa is a flowering plant species of Malvaceae family which known as Roselle. It is used traditionally for many purposes such as hot and cold beverage that consumed by African, India, Mexico, Brazil, China, Iran and Malaysia. The H. sabdariffa is reported traditionally used as antisep...

Ornamental plants Hibiscus sabdariffa is a flowering plant species of Malvaceae family which known as Roselle. It is used traditionally for many purposes such as hot and cold beverage that consumed by African, India, Mexico, Brazil, China, Iran and Malaysia.

The preliminary phytochemical screening was done using different types of reagent for each bioactive compounds. The result for AST shows that the Staphylococcus epidermidis was most sensitive with the largest mean of inhibition zone (19.67 mm).

All tested pathogenic bacteria had the same value of MIC, 7.82 mg/ml. the preliminary phytochemical screening revealed that H. sabdariffa contains alkaloids, glycosides, flavonoids and tannins.
