| description | Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is a promising herb utilized all over the world beacuseof its extensive pharmacological properties. This study aims to evaluate the physicochemical, phytochemicals and anti-bacterial potential of Zingiber officinale. The extracts showed the existence of phytochemicals, although the chloroform and n-hexane extracts showed absence of steroids and cardiac glycosides. At 50, 100, and 200 mg/mL doses, extracts from Zingiber officinale inhibited the pathogens (Porphyromonas gingivalis, Proteus mirabilis, Streptococcus pyogenes, Salmonella, Mycobacterium, and Enterobacterium) that were being tested. The antibacterial potentials of Zingiber officinale were thus revealed in this study and are supported by biological processes. The ethanolic extracts showed superior inhibition at 200 mg/mL against Porphyromonas gingivalis, Proteus mirabilis, Streptococcus pyogenes, Salmonella, Mycobacterium, and Enterobacterium. The findings in this current research show that ginger contains phytochemicals that exert antibacterial properties. |
