The antibacterial effects of hylocereus polyrhizus fruit extracts against selected bacteria / Nur Dayana Hassan Cheong, Abdul Fatah Hasan Kashfi and Hartini Yusof

In recent years, the growing number and active spread of antibiotic resistance have become a major concern globally. This forces the need to discover, analyse and develop new kinds of antibiotics, especially among plants. There are still limited data on the extracts from Hylocereus polyrhizus fruit...

In this study, the disc diffusion and broth-microdilution methods are used to investigate the antimicrobial activity of methanol and ethanol extracts of Hylocereus polyrhizus flesh towards selected bacteria (Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus aureus, Proteus mirabilis, Bacillus cereus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli).
