In-Vitro Evaluation of Antimicrobial Activities of Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Salmonella typhi, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and Candida albicans Nosodes.

BACKGROUND

This study presents the results of the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) assay of a series of nosodes: namely , , , , and . Each was tested against its corresponding infection as well as cross infections.

METHODS

efficacy of polyvalent nosodes was tested using the MIC assay technique. The nosodes, namely polyvalent nosode (35c, 100c), (35c), (35c, 100c) polyvalent nosode (35c, 100c) and polyvalent nosode (30c, 100c), were tested along with positive and negative controls. Nosodes were studied in different potencies and at 1:1 dilution.

RESULTS

polyvalent nosode 35c, 100c, 35c, and positive control amphotericin B showed inhibition of the growth of species. 35c, polyvalent nosode 100c, and meropenem (positive control) showed inhibition of the growth of ; this effect was not seen with ceftriaxone, ofloxacin and amoxicillin antibiotics. polyvalent nosode 30c in 10% alcohol (direct and dilution 1:1) and the positive controls ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, and amoxicillin showed inhibition of the growth of . The polyvalent nosode 30c in 10% alcohol showed inhibition of growth of .

CONCLUSION

This study reveals that the tested nosodes exhibited antibacterial potential against the corresponding micro-organisms and against other selected organisms studied using this assay.
