The in vitro antibacterial activity of three hydroalcoholic extracts obtained from the pulp, seed and leaf of Cyrtocarpa procera against bacteria ATCC (American Type Culture Collection) and isolated from clinical cases of importance in veterinary and public health was evaluated. The extracts were obtained by maceration in a hydroalcoholic solution (70:30, water: methanol). The content of total phenolic compounds was determined in the extracts. The antibacterial activity was determined by the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC). The extracts were evaluated at concentrations from 200 to 1.56 mg/mL. The seed extract had a better effect inhibiting bacterial growth on reference strains and those isolated from clinical cases (MIC: 6.25-25 mg/mL), as well as causing bacterial death with MBC of 25-200 mg/mL. The bactericidal effect of the hydroalcoholic extract of C. procera seed was evident over 8/13 bacteria evaluated both ATCC and isolated from clinical cases.
