Antibacterial properties of <i>Solenostemma argel</i> (Del.) Hayne against <i>Salmonella</i> strains from chicken meat: integrated GC-MS phytochemical profiling and molecular docking analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Salmonella enterica is a leading cause of foodborne illness worldwide and poultry products, particularly chicken meat and there is growing interest in using plant extracts to protect chicken meat from Salmonella contamination during refrigeration. Solenostemma argel is a medicinal plant traditionally used to treat gastrointestinal disorders and quantitative data on its activity against Salmonella enterica are limited.

Methods

Methanolic leaf extract was profiled by GC-MS to document major phytochemical classes. Antibacterial activity against clinical/retail S. enterica isolates was evaluated by disc diffusion and broth microdilution to determine inhibition zones, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentrat
