Abstract Brazil has to possess the greatest biodiversity in the world, becomes the target of several studies.Trials have been conducted with the aim of discovering new plant extracts, which obtain the active principle bactericidal or bacteriostatic against the bacteria Escherichia coli.E. coli is found naturally in the intestinal tract of man and warm-blooded animals, but if there is an imbalance in the homeostasis of its host, this opportunistic microorganism may cause irreversible damage.Given these facts, veterinary medicine is facing challenges to minimize economic losses that E. coli back to the farm animals as mastitis-causing devaluation of laticíneos and household expenses such as pyometra resulting in disease treatment.The relevance of this research takes the measure to discover extracts capable of inactivating the bacteria, can develop new antibiotics eventually made the basis of natural products. | |
