Abstract

Pneumonia is one of the leading causes of death in children under five and, a major cause of infant mortality in all regions of the world, most deaths occur in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. The main agent with the highest prevalence in severe pneumonia is, as the name suggests the bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae. The general objective of this study is to evaluate the antibacterial activity of the decoction of the leaves of Mitragyna stipulosa on the bacterium S. pneumoniae by the antibiogram test, to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration and, to compare the antibacterial effect of the decoction compared to infusion and maceration, as well as the reference antibiotic used. This work is part of the promotion and enhancement of the African pharmacopoeia in general and the Congolese pharmacopoeia in particular, to overcome a proven and significant public health problem.
