| Abstract |
Recently, change of Western pattern diet and lifestyle is caused by various metabolic disorders and chronic diseases. These
diseases need to take medicine regularly. Also, many people take health functional food, various vitamins and nutritional supplements in
order to maintain a healthy life. But, there was no study about affects taking medicines against bacteria with gastrointestinal relevance.
This study was performed by antibacterial activity test to evaluate the influence of a long time or commonly used medication. As a result,
medicines of Vitamins & Minerals or Central nervous system show antibacterial activity against beneficial enteric bacteria and harmful
enteric bacteria. Dexibuprofen of the Anti-inflammatory Drugs that acts on the central nervous system has shown high antibacterial
activity at beneficial enteric bacteria strains (Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus rhamnosus) and harmful enteric bacteria (Staphylococcus
aureus). Also, fenofibric acid of the antilipemic agents that acts on the Cardiovascular & Hematopoietic system has shown high
antibacterial activity at beneficial enteric bacteria strains (Lactobacillus casei). Vitamins & Minerals appeared antibacterial activity
against most intestinal bacteria. Vitamin B-Complex/with C and vitamin C were especially high with beneficial enteric bacteria strains
(Bifidobacterium infantis) and harmful enteric bacteria (E. coli, E. aerogenes, S. flexneri, S. Typhimurium, S. aureus). Therefore, these
results indicate that variously taking medicines have generally antibacterial activity against harmful enteric bacteria strains and
beneficial enteric bacteria strains. |
