GC-MS Analysis with Antimicrobial Activity Study of Cymbopogon Citratus Leaves Essential Oil Towards the Multi-Drug Resistant Nosocomial Clinical Isolates of Proteus Vulgaris |Biomedgrid

The Cymbopogon citratus leaves were popularly known as the Lemon grass leaves in the form of its aromatic tea as an ancient tradition providing soothing flavor aiding in the treatment of many ailments especially the respiratory tract infections due to the release of essential oils in the tea while boiling. The fresh Lemon grass leaves of Cymbopogon citratus were procured from the local hypermarket from Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the essential oils were extracted by the European Pharmacopoeia methodology of employing Clevenger-type apparatus. The Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry analysis for the Cymbopogon citratus leaves essential oil was performed by the creating the compound creation examination of qualitative and quantitative analysis of the extracted essential oil from the leaves were by deploying a Hewlett Packard 5890 Series II gas chromatograph outfitted with a flame Ionization Finder (FID) and a slim HP-5 section. The multi-drug resistant clinical isolates Proteus vulgaris were procured from the nosocomial patients by following the standard microbiological isolation and purification technique protocol.
