This could be explained by the low concentration of the active ingredients in the solvents used and therefore the extracts were less likely to exert an effective inhibitory activity on the growth of antibiotic resistant strains of staphylococcus.

Caractérisation phénotypique des souches de staphylocoques antibiorésistantes isolées des voies Uro-génitales et sensibilité aux alicaments (Brassica oleracea; Allium cepa; Allium schoenoprasum; Allium sativum et le Miel) à Kisangani (RD. Congo). Cette étude a eu comme objectif de caractériser phénotypiquement des souches de staphylocoques antibiorésistantes isolées des voies uro-génitales et de tester in vitro leurs sensibilités aux extraits d’alicaments (Brassica oleracea; Allium cepa; Allium schoenoprasum, Alluim sativum et Miel). Les extraits bruts concentrés ont été obtenus par la méthode de reflux dans laquelle le jus était obtenu après pressage et filtrage. Les extraits éthanoliques et éthérés ont été obtenus par la méthode d’extraction respectivement à l’aide de l’éthanol à 95% et de l’éther de pétrole. La sensibilité des souches aux extraits a été étudiée par la méthode de diffusion en gélose spécifique (Müller Hinton) sur boîte de Pétri. A l’issu des expériences menées, les résultats suivants ont été obtenus: Il ressort de la caractérisation phénotypique (morphologique et biochimique) que toutes les souches de staphylocoques étudiées sont de forme coque en amas et gram positif. Elles ont toutes produits de la coagulase et de la catalase. De ce fait, elles appartiennent toutes à l’espèce Staphylococcus aureus. L’étude de la sensibilité des souches aux différents extraits d’alicaments révèle que les extraits éthérés sont plus efficaces que les extraits bruts concentrés et éthanoliques. Ils ont montré une activité antibactérienne chez la majorité des souches testées. Le diamètre d’inhibition le plus élevé étant de l’ordre de 30 mm, ceci a été obtenu avec l’extrait éthéré de B. oleracea. Les extraits éthanoliques et bruts concentrés de B. oleracea ont respectivement inhibé la croissance bactérienne avec un diamètre maximum de l’ordre de 17 et de 18 mm. Le Miel a exercé de sa part une activité inhibitrice avec un diamètre maximum de 17 mm. Les souches se sont montrées résistantes aux extraits bruts concentrés éthanoliques des A. cepa, A. schoenoprasum et A. sativum. Ceci pourrait s’expliquer par la faible concentration des principes actifs dans les solvants utilisés et par conséquent, les extraits ont été moins susceptibles d’exercer une activité inhibitrice efficace sur la croissance des souches de staphylocoques antibiorésistantes.
