Through this work entitled “Effect of Extracts from the leaves of Clinopodium taxifolium” “Chinininga” against strains of Escherichia Coli y Salmonella Typhimurium in vitro was performed in order to determine their antibacterial effects on strains of Escherichia Coli y Salmonella Typhimurium to verify the traditional use of the plant against acute gastrointestinal disease. To obtain the extracts were used extracts using solvents of increasing polarity: hexane, ethanol and aqueous extracts of wich were used to determine its effect on Escherichia Coli y Salmonella Typhimurium. According to Bauer kirbi diffusion method modified by diffusion of a sample through a layer of agar solidified, to an extent, the growth of sensitive organisms is inhibited around the area containing a known concentration of the hexane extract, ethanolic and aqueous Clinopodium taxifolium the “chinininga”...
