Even during the early times, Filipinos prepare medicines to treat some illnesses out of the plants available in their backyards. An example of these plants is Gliricidia sepiumH. B. Kakawate as it is commonly known has many folkloric uses in the Philippines such as wound healing, skin itching or dermatitis. The antibacterial activity of the ethanol extracts of Gliricidia sepium (Jacq.) Walp. was evaluated against four bacterial wound pathogens (Staphylococcus aureus, Straptococci B hemolytic, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Escherichia coli). This study was conducted so as to test te antibacterial activity of kakawate leaf to bacteria that cause wound infection. Specifically, this study aimed to determined the antibacterial activity of kakawate leaves against the wound pathogens; compare the effectivity of kakawate leaf extract to gram positive and gram negative bacteria that cause wound infection; and compare the effectivity of kakawate leaf extract to commercially available antibacterial agent. Mature kakawate leaves were collected in Gerona, Tarlac. The kakawate ethanol extract was obtained by standard method. The antibacterial activity was found by using modified disc diffusion method. The bacteria were obtained from the Nueva Ecija Doctors' Hospital and Central Luzon Doctors' Hospital. Chloramphenicol (30 µg) was used as positive control and distilled water as negative control. The ethanol extract of Gliricidia sepium (Jacq.) Walp. was active against Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococci B hemolytic and did not show antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli. The antimicrobial activity of the kakawate extract is not comparable with that of the antimicrobial activity of the chloramhenicol. This in vitro study substantiated the antimicrobial activity of kakawate plants used in folkloric medicine. The plant extract was effective against the two grain positive bacteria. However, they were ineffective against Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Their medicinal use in infections associated with these two species is not recommended. The antibacterial activity of the plant extract is not as good as that of the positive control. This study also showed that Gliricidia sepium (Jacq.) Walp. could be potential sources of new antimicrobial agents. Type Thesis or Dissertation The antibacterial activity was found by using modified disc diffusion method.
