antimicrobial sensitivity, minimum inhibitory concentration, minimal bactericidal concentration, hydrodistillationAbstract
The objective of the research was to evaluate the antimicrobial efficacy of the essential oil of ruda (Ruta graveolens) onStaphylococcus aureus subp aureus strain ATCC ®25904. the plant was collected from the Inapisí sector of Constantino Fernández, the oil was obtained with the hydrodistillation technician, 10 concentrations were evaluated (10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 100% ) in dilution with double distilled water, each dilution was handled a total of 5 ml and tween 80 was added as 0,1% as emulsifier, the results showed that the determined minimum inhibitory concentration of the essential oil was defined at 30%; with respect to the Bactericidal minimum concentration evidenced by the zero growth of colonies on the plate, which was established at 40% concentration; the antimicrobial sensitivity study statistically show significant differences between treatments with the 0,5% Tukey test, the best being at 90% concentration with 25,25 mm of inhibition halo formation, however the treatments starting at 30% and showed significant halos formation, concluding that Ruta graveolens oil has antimicrobial efficacy on the strain evaluate.
