Abstract:
objective Microbial limit test(MLT)for Dahuang Zhechong pill was established and verified to supply scientific foundation for the establishment of MLT for antibacterial and anti-inflammatory Chinese patent medicine,and to supply principle guidance for the verification of the method issued in Chinese pharmacopoeia(2005 edition);meanwhile the antibiogram of Dahuang Zhechong pill was probed,which can provide evidence for its clinical administration.Methods With centrifugal sedimentation method and culture medium diluted method,the recovery test was done on each tested bacterial strain to validate the accuracy and feasibility of MLT.Results Dahuang Zhechong pill had a stronger inhibitory effect on staphylococcus aureus and bacillus subtilis,had a weak inhibitory effect on escherichia coli,and had no effect on candida albicans and aspergillus niger,indicating that the antimicrobial spectrum of Dahuang Zhechong pill is Gram-positive bacteria.Conclusion Centrifugal sedimentation method combined with culture medium diluted method can eliminate the anti-bacterial effect of Dahuang Zhechong pill during the experiment,thus the microorganisms in the polluted pill can be detected successfully.
