In vitro Efficacy of Flavonoids from Eugenia jambolana Seeds Against ESβL-Producing Multidrug-Resistant Enteric Bacteria

R. Jamine , P. Daisy and B.N. Selvakumarb

Abstract: Methanol extracts of Eugenia jambolana seeds (Myrtaceae), used as a traditional folklore medicine, showed inhibitory effects against the growth of a few multidrug-resistant extended spectrum beta lactamase (ESβL) producing gram-negative bacteria. Bioactivity guided fractionation yielded several fractions. One active flavonoid-containing fraction had a Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of 7.9 to 1000 μg mL^-1. The strong in vitro antibacterial activity of flavonoid derivatives against ESβL producing gram-negative bacteria suggests the compounds might find wide pharmaceutical use.
