Investigates antibacterial activity and vitamin profiles of extracts from Sesamum indicum and Pimpinella anisum against UTI bacteria, highlighting potential natural remedies.
Key Points
Alcoholic extracts from Pimpinella anisum showed the highest antibacterial activity, with inhibition zones of 19.20 mm against Escherichia coli.
Klebsiella pneumoniae was the most susceptible pathogen in the study, suggesting targeted natural treatment strategies.
Analysis employed agar well diffusion for antibacterial testing and high-performance liquid chromatography for vitamin profiling.
Findings indicate the potential for Sesamum indicum and Pimpinella anisum to serve as complementary therapies for managing urinary tract infections.
