Abstract

In this study, we investigated the antimicrobial activity of herbs related with treatments of intestinal diseases against intestinal pathogens under anaerobic broth system. The water extract of Saussurea lappa Clarke and Myristica fragrans Houtt. showed no growth inhibition against tested pathogens(Eubacterium limonsum ATCC 10825, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Bacteroides fragilis KCTC 5013, Clostridium perfringens STCC 3627, Staphylococcus aureus KFCC 11764 및 Salmonella typhimurium ATCC 14028). All tested pathogens were not inhibited in broth containing 100$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ of Areca catachu L. Water extract but its extract strongly inhibited the growth of Eubacterium limonsum STCC 10825, Bacteroides fragilis KCTC 5013, Clostridium perfringens ATCC 3627 and Salmonella typhimurium ATCC 14028 at 1,000 to 2,000$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ of concentration. Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 and Staphylococcus aureus KFCC 11764 hardly grew in broth containing 2,000$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$ of Terminalia chebula Retz. water extract.
