Article Synopsis
- Bacterial vaginosis is a common bacterial infection in women, often treated with synthetic antimicrobials, and this study explores Bixa orellana L. as a potential natural treatment.
- In vitro tests showed that the methanolic extract of Bixa orellana L. leaves effectively inhibited bacteria associated with bacterial vaginosis, particularly Gardnerella vaginalis.
- The findings suggest the need for further research into non-synthetic antimicrobial options, highlighting the efficacy of Bixa orellana L. against problem bacteria while noting variations in susceptibility among different strains.
