Implication

Randomized trial shows antibacterial activity of Citrus aurantium extract in bacteria from wound infections, suggesting a natural treatment option.

Key Points

The central aim is to evaluate the phytochemical composition and antibacterial properties of Citrus aurantium leaf extract against wound infection bacteria.
Leaves were collected, dried, powdered, and extracted with distilled water.
Phytochemical screening was conducted using standard qualitative methods.
Antibacterial activity was assessed using the agar well diffusion method against various bacterial isolates.
The extract showed the highest inhibition against Enterococcus spp. (16 mm at 250 mg/ml).
Antibacterial activity increased with concentration, while tetracycline was more effective overall.
Phytochemical analysis revealed multiple bioactive compounds in the extract, which may contribute to its antibacterial properties.
