In vitro antibacterial effect of formulated feathered mosquito fern (azolla pinnata) tropical hydrogel on staphylococcus aureus / by Nilz B. Madali, Daniela Marie O. Luching, Christine Lyden S. Pamonag, & Trace Lawrence S. Marbebe.
Publisher: [Iloilo City] : [Ateneo de Iloilo], c2024Description: 36 p.DDC classification: Ref 373.07 V834 2024 Summary: Bacterial infections from skin injuries are one of the most common vulnerabilities in public health which is a hazard especially to lower-class Filipinos. Thus, there is a need for alternative antibacterials that can be formulated with accessible resources such as the Feathered Mosquito Fern (Azolla pinnata), a common aquatic fern with previous literature backing its antibacterial properties. This study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of Feathered Mosquito Fern (Azolla pinnata) glycerinated topical hydrogels as an antibacterial on cultured Staphylococcus aureus. Plant samples collected from fish ponds were macerated using Acetone, formulated into hydrogels using commercial gelatin, and divided into three treatment groups (5%, 10%, 15%), a Positive Control (Mupirocin), and a Negative Control (Hydrogel Base). The treatments were subjected to the Mueller-Hinton Agar Well Method, and their zones of inhibitions were measured. The results showed that none of the treatments, aside from the Positive Control, had zones of inhibitions, which voided the need for quantitative data analysis, and opened up the possibility of a procedural error during the conduct of the study. The discussion of this paper reexamined related literature to verify the validity of the data and to explore any possible deviations in the study's methodology which may have led to these results. Comprehensive recommendations were provided for future researchers looking to reinvestigate this study.| Item type | Current location | Home library | Collection | Call number | Copy number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item holds |
