ABSTRACT

Onl J Vet Res., 21(3):106-109, 2017. Effect of Cucurbita moschata oil seed on
growth of Staphylococcus aureus ATCC No. 25923. Authors describe effect
of Cucurbita moschata
(CM) oil on growth of Staphylococcus aureus ATCC No. 25923 (SA) in Mueller-Hinton
broth agar disk and agar well diffusion. Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was used as
negative and cephalexin as positive, controls. By disk diffusion, inhibition zone
was 17 mm and agar well diffusion 10 mm in 0.125g/ml CM with no inhibition on DMSO
control. In agar well, there was no effect on SA in 0.015, 0.007 or 0.003g/ml CM.
Inhibition zone on cephalexin control was 18 mm. Minimum inhibitory concentration
was 0.062 and minimum bactericidal concentration 0.125g/ml CM. Results suggested
different sensitivities to CM which may possess antibacterial properties that should be
confirmed in Vivo. Findings need to
be viewed with caution as no inert oil controls were used. Raw data provided
Keywords: Cucurbita moschata, oil, Staphylococcus
aureus.
