Abstract

Summary Antimicrobial activities and Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of aloe vera gel and aloe vera juice were evaluated against Escherichia coli (ATCC10418), Staphylococcus epidermididis (ATCC29213), Salmonella typhimurium (ATCC29922), Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC6571), Bacillus subtilis (ATCC6633), Enterocococci faecalis (ATCC29212), Proteus vulgaris (ATCC13315), Psedomonous aeruginosa (ATCC1062). Aloe vera juice showed the inhibitory effect against all the microorganisms. Aloe vera gel was only effective against S. aureus (10.54± 0.43 mm) respectively. MIC was determined only for the aloe vera juice and was found to be more active (89.9%) against Proteus vulgaris. This in vitro study demonstrated that folk medicine could be as effective as modern medicine to combat pathogenic microorganisms.
