Abstract:
CTK is one kind of traditional medicine drug for RTIs treatment. The toxicity of CTK was studied and the result of clinical trial has proved its effectiveness in RTI treatment. Objectives: To investigate the antibiotic effects of C.T.K. on some kinds of bacteria caused reproductive tract infections (RTIs). Methods: This experimental study was performed on the group of standardized bacteria and the bacteria isolated from patients with RTIs. The results showed that: C.T.K inhibited absolutely the growth of the standardized S. aureus ATCC 25923 and standardized E.coli ATCC 25922 at the level of CTK diluted strength 1/150 and with at the level of 1/100. With the bacteria isolated from RTI patients: At the level of C.T.K diluted strength 1/50, CTK could inhibit 100% the growth of S. aureus and 90% the growth of E.coli. C.T.K could not inhibit the growth of both bacteria at the level of C.T.K diluted strength 1/150. Conclusion: The results proved that C.T.K has antibiotic effect on S. aureus and E.coli at different levels of drug diluted strength.
