Avaliação da atividade antimicrobiana de tintura e pomada da Ruta graveolens sobre bactérias isoladas de feridas cutâneas em cães

Abstract

With the objective of evaluating the antimicrobian activity of the Ruta graveolens dye and ointment on isolated bacteria of dogs’ cutaneous wounds, they were provoked by several traumas and considered polluted or infected and proceeding from ambulatorial casuistry of the Veterinary Hospital of DMV of UFRPE. The wounds were submitted to the collecting of bed material of the cruenta area through swab’s for bacterial cultures accomplishment. In the first phase, the isolated bacteria were stocked in Agar Nutrient and submitted to the in vitro evaluation test of the antimicrobian activity by using the Ruta graveolens’ extract with alcoholic content to 65% and their serial dilutions (100, 10-1, 10-2 and 10-3). The isolated bacteria were Staphylococcus sp, Streptococcus sp, Proteus sp, Escherichia coli. It was just observed inhibited effect in the bacterial growth in the concentration 1:1 of Ruta graveolens. In the second phase, the wounds material was collected before the cleaning and 48 hours after the treatment with Ruta graveolens ointment. Before the observed results, it is ended that Ruta graveolens dye presented antimicrobian activity in vitro when it is used in the proportion of 1:1 under the ointment form for the isolated bacteria of dogs’ cutaneous wounds and it could be an option of a phytoterapical to aid in the treatment of polluted or infected cutaneous losses.
