Abstract:
Objective To investigate the antimicrobial activity of berberine against Helicobacterpylori (Hp) in vitro. Methods The drug sensitivity of clinical isolated Hp to berberine was performed with Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion test. The isolated Hp was treated with different dose of berberine (25,50,100, 250 |xg),clarithromycin and amoxicillin standard slip was used as controls. Results There were no significant differences in average diameter inhibition zone and effective rate to Hp between berberine (250 jxg) and clarithromycin, amoxicillin control (P > 0. 05). Clarithromycin and amoxicillin had better average diameter inhibition zone than berberine (100 jxg) (P <0. 05), butno significant difference in effective rate between them (尸 > 0. 05). Clarithromycin and amoxicillin had better inhibition effect than other two berberine groups (25, 50 pg). There were significant differences in average diameter inhibition zone and effective rate to Hp among 4 different dose levels of berberine, especially in high dose group(250 (xg)(尸 <0.05). Conclusion Berberine at 250 |xg level, exhibits antimicrobial effect to isolated Hp comparable to that of clarithromycin and amoxicillin.
