Abstract:
Microbes are single-cell organisms. They are so tiny that, millions can fit into the eye of a needle and cannot be seen with the naked eyes. Microbes are the oldest form of life on earth. They are very small living things and are sometimes termed as micro-organisms. Microbes can only be seen using a microscope. Microbe fossils date back more than 3.5 billion years.
A few harmful microbes, for example less than 1% of bacteria, can invade our body (the host) and make us ill. Microbes cause infectious diseases such as flu and measles. There is also strong evidence that microbes may contribute to many non–infectious chronic diseases such as some forms of cancer and coronary heart disease. Different diseases are caused by different types of micro-organisms. First, the infectivity of an organism determines the number of individuals that will be infected compared to the number who are susceptible and exposed. Second, the pathogenicity is a measure of the potential for an infectious organism to cause disease. Acne vulgaris is a chronic inflammatory disease mainly affecting the teenagers. As it is chronic and affects face mainly, it always causes negative psychological impact on human life. In a study conducted in 2015 acne affected 650 million people globally making it the most common skin disease worldwide. In a study of “Global burden of disease” it is revealed that acne was the 8th common prevalent disease worldwide.
The aim of this study is to investigate the antimicrobial properties and in-vivo antiacne activity of the ethanolic extract derived from Sauromatum venosum. This botanical extract has shown promise in traditional medicine, and the primary objective is to scientifically evaluate its potential in combating microbial infections and alleviating acne symptoms.
In conclusion, this research establishes a compelling case for the therapeutic potential of Sauromatum venosum in the treatment of acne. The combined findings regarding the extraction yield, phytochemical profile, antimicrobial activity, and significant in vivo results collectively suggest that this plant may serve as a viable alternative or complementary treatment option for acne.
