The Identification of Anti-infective Properties of Pangium edule Seeds Extract Against Salmonella typhimurium Infection in BALB/c Mice
Diarrhea is considered as a major global problem with a mortality number of 1.6 million
globally, and a third-leading cause of children mortality in the world. One of the causes of
diarrhea is Salmonella typhi infection and is one of the leading causes of death worldwide,
causing more than a hundred thousand mortality each year. The presence of antibioticresistant
strains makes it even hard to control the disease. As a consequence, finding
alternative compounds to cure typhoid infection is promising nowadays. In this experiment,
the antibacterial compounds extracted from Pangium edule were extracted and tested
toward typhoid-infected mice. However, from the observation of colonies formed on the
mice stool and the observation of mice’s weight during the infection and treatment period, it
indicates that the alkaloid and phenolic acid are not potent toward the infection of
Salmonella typhi in BALB/c mice
