Evaluación de la eficacia antimicrobiana in vitro de cápsulas de extracto fluido de Vaccinium floribundum kunth (Mortiños); en infecciones agudas del tracto urinario.

Abstract

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common in men and women around the world, in Ecuador, 4 out of 10 inhabitants present them with a higher incidence in women, the main uropathogenic bacteria are Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus saprophyticus. Vaccinium floribundum Kunth (mortiño) has been used in traditional medicine to combat ITU; Therefore, to evaluate its antimicrobial efficacy in vitro, a fluid extract was first made from which 150, 200 and 250 mg granules were formulated in which the quantification of total phenols and anthocyanins was made, finally the minimum concentration was determined inhibitory (MIC) of each granulate against E. coli ATCC 25922TM and S. saprophyticus ATCC 1535D-5TM strains. In the MIC for the 150 mg granulate against E. coli ATCC 25922TM it is 90 μL (65,15 %) and for S. saprophyticus ATCC 1535D-5TM it is 90 μL (50,48 %); in the 200 mg granulate against E. coli ATCC 25922TM it is 70 μL (90,31 %) and for S. saprophyticus ATCC 1535D-5TM is 70 μL (91,17 %), in the 250 mg granule against E. coli ATCC 25922TM is 50 μL, (87,51 %) and for S. saprophyticus ATCC 1535D-5TM is 50 μL (86,56 %). The 200 and 250 mg granules reach 100 % inhibitions, which shows that the death is effective as an alternative for urinary tract infections.
