Abstract

Due to the widespread spread of bacterial resistance to antibiotics, it has become necessary to search for other alternatives that have antibacterial action in order to control the bacteria. Medicinal plants, including the aloe vera plant, are considered one of the most important of these alternatives. Given that Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria are among the most important bacteria that infect humans, causing intestinal or urinary tract infections, and which have recently shown widespread resistance to antibiotics around the world, this study aimed to determine the antibacterial action of aloe vera gel (AVG) against Escherichia coli bacteria, using the disk diffusion method on Muller-Hinton agar (MHA). The results confirmed that this gel has a significant antibacterial effect compared to reference antibiotics, and thus the possibility of using it to control the infection.
