| Abstract: | Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) andethanol are frequently usedassolvent for natural as well assynthetic antibacterialcompounds, inorder to determine their MICs. Effect of thesesolventsonbacterialgrowthisanimportantfactortobeconsidered, while considering reproducibility f experimentsfor MIC determination.Present study imed at determiningtheeffect ofdifferent concentrations(1% to 6%) ofDMSO, ethanol, and methanol onthe growth offivedifferentbacteria.DMSO scoredbetterfollowedbymethanol andethanol, intermsof their compatibility withMICdetermination. Lowerconcentrationsofsolvents,whichapparently donot affectthebacterial growthsignificantly,maystillpotentiate the effectof antibacterialcompoundundertest. |
