Antimicrobial activity of lentinula edodes mushroom extracts against pathogenic bacteria

Abstract:

The resistance of pathogenic bacteria to multiple antimicrobials has become a global threat to health and food security. This research determined the antimicrobial activity of Lentinula edodes mushroom extracts, setting as study factors: parts of the mushroom (pileus, stem), type of solvent (chloroform, ethanol, ethyl acetate, ethanol-water (50-50)) and type of bacteria (Salmonella spp, Listeria spp, E-coli), isolated from meat. The best results for antimicrobial efficacy were obtained from the ethanolic stem extract that inhibited 83% of the maximum reached by Penicillin, which makes it a promising product in regards to the continuing of this study.
