Anti-microbial Activity of Aqueous Quercus infectoria Gall Extract against Pathogenic Leptospira

BACKGROUND: and to evaluate the morphological changes of extract-treated cells using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). METHODS: serovar Icterohaemorhagiae was analysed using the SEM. RESULTS: serovar Icterohaemorhagiae are 0.125 mg/mL and 0.250 mg/mL, respectively. The SEM micrograph shows changes in shape and size of the extract-treated cells (at 8× MIC) in comparison to the untreated cells. CONCLUSION: isolates, and thus has the potential for further exploration of its efficacy and use in the treatment of leptospirosis.
