Antibacterial parameters of infused extracts of Mangifera indica cultivars (Kent) leaves on the in vitro growth of urinary tract infections strains

Background: Mangifera indica is a plant belonging to the Anacardiaceae family. It is traditionally used to treat a variety of conditions including diabetes, bronchitis, diarrhea, asthma, scabies, respiratory problems and urinary tract infections. The aim of the present work is to understand the use of Kent leaves in the treatment of urinary tract infections in traditional medicine. Methods: In this study, qualitative phytochemical tests based on detection by staining and tube precipitation of phenolic compounds were carried out. Bacterial susceptibility to infusions was determined by the agar diffusion method from wells. MICs and BMCs were determined by double dilution in liquid medium coupled with spreading on Mueller Hinton agar. Results: This work shows a dominance of sterols, polyterpenes, polyphenols, flavonoids, catechic tannins, alkaloids and quinones in infusions extracts of kent cultivar. The most sensitive strain was the one with the lowest MIC (MIC = 3.125mg/mL) and the largest diameters (19.33 mm). This was S. aureus 9044. All the germs studied were resistant to at least two families of antibiotics. They are therefore multi-resistant. Conclusion: These results could stimulate the use of kent cultivar leaves in traditional environments for the treatment of urinary tract infections.
