Punicalagin, a pomegranate polyphenol sensitizes the activity of antibiotics against three MDR pathogens of the Enterobacteriaceae

Table 3 MIC of pomegranate peel methanol extract and punicalagin for MDR clinical strains of Enterobacteriaceae

Sr. No.	Clinical Strains	Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (mg/mL)
		Pomegranate peel methanol extract	Punicalagin
1	E. coli	7.8	> 10
2	S. typhi	3.9	> 10
3	S. typhimurium	7.8	> 10

Vehicle control: Methanol (HPLC grade); Sterility control/blank: LB broth
The optical density of the ‘vehicle control’ lane indicated the maximum growth of the test bacteria, while the ‘blank’ lane showing no growth served as a ‘sterility control’ for the procedure
