Abstract
Aiouea trinervis is a Brazilian shrub species of the Lauraceae family. In this study, the antifungal and antibacterial activity of the hydroethanolic extract 70% of the fruit of A. trinervis on the genus Candida, Staphylococcus and Salmonella sp. was evaluated using the paper disk diffusion method. Antifungal activity was observed for C. albicans (7-4 mm) and C. tropicalis (11-3 mm), and in the antibacterial test for S. aureus (9-2 mm) and S. serovar Enteritidis (14-4 mm) in concentrations greater than 50 mg mL-1 of the hydroethanolic extract of the fruit. The results confirm the potential antifungal and antibacterial activity of the hydroethanolic extract of the fruit of A. trinervis.
