ABSTRACT

 

Zangeneh MM, Zangeneh A, Moradi R, Hajialiani M, Sadeghi S, Khaef S, Nazari M, Malaki H., 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
