Abstract
This study was investigated to determine the antimicrobial activity of ethanol extract of green tea, and of solvent fractionated ethanol extract on Escherichia coli O157:H7. MIC value of ethanol extracts and solvent fractionated ethanol extract (hexane, ethyl-acetate, chloroform and water) were $2000{\mu}g/ml,\;0,\;500{\mu}g/ml,\;2000{\mu}g/ml,\;1000{\mu}g/ml$, respectively. The antimicrobial activity of ethyl acetate fraction against E. coli O157 :H7 ranged from $250-2000{\mu}g/disk$. The antimicrobial activity was significantly increased as concentration dependent. When E. coli O157:H7 was pH-adjusted TSB containing $1000{\mu}g/ml$ ethyl acetate, E. coli O157:H7 was significantly inhibited at initial pH of 10, whereas the pathogen grew well in the presence of pH 4.5-pH 9. The inhibitory effect of the ethyl acetate fraction on the growth of E. coli O157 :H7 was investigated. Growth of both strain in the tested conditions were rapidly occurred up to 12 h, but no growth was occurred in the presence of $250-1000{\mu}g/mL$ of ethyl acetate fraction for 72 h.
