Determinación in vitro de la actividad antimicrobiana de los extractos elaborados con hierba luisa (Cymbopogon citratus) frente a las bacterias Escherichia coli y Staphylococcus aureus

Abstract

The study analyzed three different types of Cymbopogon citratus extracts for antimicrobial properties against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. The efficacy of ethanol usage was highlighted. Furthermore, potential secondary metabolites responsible for inhibition were identified using bioautography. These findings suggest alternative applications in medicine, industry, and cosmetics against pathogenic bacteria.
