It was determined the antibacterial activity of ethanol extracts of “Huito”, Genipa americana, “Toronja”, Citrus Jambhiri and “Ginger”, Zingiber officinale, against resistant strains. The strains evaluated were Salmonella entérica, Staphylococcus saprophyticus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli, which were isolated and characterized from clinical cases of the Bioservice Laboratory S.R.L. To determine the sensitivity of each strain, an antibiogram was performed using 18 types of antibiotics, each strain reporting resistance to at least 10 antibiotics. The extraction of the ethanolic extracts of the fruits was done by maceration and to concentrate them a fractional distillation system was installed which allowed to separate the solvent at low temperature without destroying the active compounds of the fruits. For the determination of the antimicrobial activity, the diffusion disc method of Kirby & Bauer was applied, using as a positive control the antibiotic corresponding to each bacterial strain. The concentration of extract in each disc prepared was 20 ul. The results showed that the ethanolic extract of Genipa americana is effective against all strains evaluated, with greater antimicrobial action against Staphylococcus saprophyticus. Extracts of Citrus jambhiri and Zingiber officinale did not show any activity. Genipa americana has active compounds that can be extracted and processed by the pharmaceutical industry for the synthesis of new antimicrobials that help in the fight against bacterial resistance.
