Stimulating Antimicrobial Activity in Aspirin with Psidium guajava and Syzygium aromaticum Extracts against Multi-drug Resistant Salmonella Spp: A Comparative Study of Multiple Combinations

Factors such as gene mutation and transfer, some inappropriate uses and diagnostics, and the prescription of 

antibiotics to undiagnosed patients has significantly led to the emergence of drug resistance in bacteria, which is also 

hampering our ability to treat infections. As the declines of new antibiotics, scientists and researchers keep trying to 

develop or propose some synergistic combinations of antibiotics with medicinal plants extracts in an effort to boost their 

antimicrobial activities against drug resistant bacteria. This work aimed to develop a cocktail regimen, which will be 

highly susceptible to confirmed drug resistant clinical isolate of Salmonella spp, using Tetracycline, Co-trimoxazole, 

Aspirin, Psidium guajava and Syzygium aromaticum extract alongside minimizing toxicity potential. Twenty-four (24) 

different combinations were made from 10 µg/mL of Co-trimoxazole, Tetracycline and Aspirin with each clove extract 

and separately again with guava extract. Eighteen (18) of them were combined in three different stages (6 each) using 

concentrated Tetraoxosulphate (vi) acid (H2SO4) and 0.1 Molar sodium hydroxide (NaOH), while 31 antimicrobial 

disks were prepared and tested on Salmonella spp. The antimicrobial susceptibility test revealed that Scl, a stage 1 

combination of Co-trimoxaazole with clove extract; Ac2, a stage 2 combination of Aspirin and clove extract; Ag2,

a stage 2 combination of Aspirin and guava leave extract were all susceptible to the confirmed resistant isolate of 

Salmonella spp. Ag2 had the best zone of inhibition better than Ciprofloxacin inhibition zone at 20 µg/mL. Aspirin was 

the best precursor drug which favourably combines with both clove and guava extract to give a desired cocktail regimen 

with potential antimicrobial characteristics. Hence, it is needed to identify the compounds obtained in this combinations, 

isolates, and purify their active principles, and subjected to other pharmacological test to ascertain if they can be used to 

combat multi-drug resistant bacteria and other pathogenic organisms
