Abstract

Most available antimicrobials are now ineffective and the whole world healthcare system is currently under threat of antimicrobial resistant infections. Consequently, study of plant bioactive compounds with potentials infectious diseases therapeutic values is of significant risen interest with biologically synthesized plant extracts derived silver nanoparticles on the greater focus. This research was aimed at determining the in vitro antimicrobial activity of silver nanoparticles synthesized from extracts of Terminalia avicennioides on antibiotic resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates from wounds. Standard phenotypic and genotypic techniques were used for the Isolation and identification of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates. Selected antibiotics, Terminalia avicennioides extracts and the extracts derived silver nanoparticles antimicrobial activities on the antibiotic resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa were determined using standard tests methods. Findings showed the isolates to be resistant to 18.18% - 100% of the antibiotics used, but 100% sensitive to imipenem. Analysis of the plant extracts for bioactive compounds showed the presence of tannins, alkaloids, flavonoids, cardiac glycosides, phenols, saponins and terpenoids. Antimicrobial profile of Terminalia avicennioides extracts on the antibiotic resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates showed zones of growth inhibition ranged from 10.04±9.39 – 18.08±10.62 mm with no significant difference (P > 0.05), minimum inhibitory concentration ranged from 60.000+65.8281 -40.000 + 21.0821 mg/ml with no significant difference (p < 0.05), and minimum bactericidal concentration ranged from 100.00 ± 89.4427 – 63.6364 ± 50.4525 mg/ml with no significant difference (p > 0.05). The antimicrobial activity of the biologically synthesized silver nanoparticles on the antibiotic resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa showed zone of growth inhibition ranged from 28.00 ± 13.51 – 53.00 ± 76.97 mm with no significant difference (p > 0.05). Terminalia avicennioides extracts and silver nanoparticles antimicrobial activity showed significant difference (p > 0.05). In comparison, the silver nanoparticles zones of growth inhibition was larger (28.39 ± 2.98 mm) than that of the extracts (16.83 ± 12.70 mm). This inferred that the synthesized silver nanoparticles possess potential of being used as a good chemotherapeutic agent for wound infections.
