Many studies around the world demonstrate the increase in antibiotic resistance of Campylobacter spp., which is associated with gastrointestinal problems in humans. Faced with the imminent growth of antibiotic resistance, it is important to evaluate alternative products with antimicrobial properties. Tocosh is a product used by Andean populations for its antibiotic capacity, so extracts of tocosh flour were analyzed to evaluate its antimicrobial effect against strains of Campylobacter coli. Antimicrobial effect of Tocosh flour (Solanum tuberosum L.) in 56 cryopreserved strains of Campylobacter coli isolated from chicken meat sold in Metropolitan Lima was evaluated. Aqueous and ethanolic extracts of three brands of tocosh flour (T1, T2 and T3) were obtained by partial evaporation method and their antimicrobial activity against Campylobacter coli strains was evaluated using the agar diffus...
