Abstract

Background:The aim of this study was to determine the antibacterial activity of the juice obtained by squeezing fresh ginger roots (Zingiber officinale) against the standard strains Staphylococcus aureus(ATCC® 25923) and Escherichia coli(ATCC® 25922), as well as Acinetobacter baumanniiand Klebsiella pneumoniaeisolated from patients hospitalized in intensive care units. Methods:For this purpose, the antibacterial effect of the fresh ginger juice was tested against antibiotics such as ampicillin, cefazolin, cefuroxime, meropenem, colistin, ofloxacin, sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim, tetracycline, and gentamicin. The antibacterial effects against the tested bacteria were determined by the disc diffusion method using 5 μL, 10 μL, 15 μL and 20 μL amounts of ginger juice impregnated on sterile discs. Results:As a result of the study, it was detected that the antibacterial effect increased in parallel with the increasing amounts of fresh ginger juice in all tested bacteria. Conclusion:Consequently, fresh Zingiber officinalecan provide protection to a certain extent against bacterial pathogens due to its antibacterial action.
