Resumo: The use of natural substances from animals and plants has always been the subject of research, because it is made in a rustic way and through popular knowledge, built by everyday experiences and without scientific approval. The oil from the body fat of the snake - or better known as lard of anaconda, extracted from the anaconda snake (Eunectes murinus) is a product widely used in traditional communities and is marketed in markets for therapeutic purposes in several diseases. Because of the low cost and popular beliefs, many people use zootherapeutic means to treat themselves. Hence the importance of therapeutic proof of these products. Thus, the aim of this study was to verify whether the lard of anaconda made in the traditional way has antimicrobial potential in certain strains of pathogenic bacteria and fungi. For that, the evaluation of the lard’s antimicrobial potential was carried out using the disk diffusion method, adapted from the manual M7-A6 standardized by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute, against the strains of S. aureus, E. coli, Ç. albicans and C. krusei. The observed results showed that there was no presence of bacterial or yeast growth inhibition halos, indicating that the anaconda lard oil did not inhibit the growth of fungi and bacteria in any of the strains used. Therefore, the present study allows us to conclude that the anaconda lard oil (Eunectes murinus), did not present any inhibitory antimicrobial potential, against the tested bacterial and fungal strains.

O óleo da gordura corporal da serpente– ou mais conhecida como banha de sucuriju, extraída da serpente sucuri (Eunectes murinus) é um produto muito utilizado em comunidades tradicionais e é comercializada em mercados com finalidade terapêutica em diversas moléstias. Por conta do baixo custo e de crenças populares, muitas pessoas utilizam de meios zooterápicos para se tratar por si mesmo. Daí a importância da comprovação terapêutica desses produtos. Assim, o objetivo neste estudo foi verificar se a banha de sucuriju confeccionada de modo tradicional possui potencial antimicrobiano, em determinadas cepas de bactérias e fungos patogênicos. Para isso a avaliação do potencial antimicrobiano da banha, foi realizada através do método de difusão em disco, adaptado do manual M7-A6 padronizado pelo Clinicaland Laboratory Standards Institute, frente às cepas de S. aureus, E. coli, C. albicans e C. krusei. Os resultados observados demonstraram que não houve a presença de halos de inibição de crescimento bacteriano ou leveduriformes, indicando que o óleo da banha de sucuriju não inibiu o crescimento de fungos e bactérias em nenhuma das cepas utilizadas. Portanto, o presente estudo permite concluir que o óleo da banha de sucuriju (Eunectes murinus), não apresentou nenhum potencial antimicrobiano inibitório, frente às cepas bacterianas e fúngicas testadas.    Sociedade de Medicina Veterinária do Estado do Rio de Janeiro.2021-05-13info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionpeer reviewedAvaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttps://rbmv.org/BJVM/article/view/112910.29374/2527-2179.bjvm112920Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Medicine; Vol. 42 No. 1 (2020); e112920Revista Brasileira de Medicina Veterinária; v. 42 n. 1 (2020); e1129202527-21790100-2430reponame:Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Medicineinstname:Sociedade de Medicina Veterinária do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (SOMVERJ)instacron:SBMVenghttps://rbmv.org/BJVM/article/view/1129/1023Copyright (c) 2020 Lidiane Nascimento Araújo, Christian Hermes Ribeiro Batista, Osvaldo Gato Nunes Neto, Hipócrates de Menezes Chalkidis, Welligton Conceição da Silvahttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessNascimento Araújo, LidianeRibeiro Batista, Christian Hermes Gato Nunes Neto, Osvaldo de Menezes Chalkidis, Hipócrates Conceição da Silva, Welligton 2021-05-13T13:46:40Zoai:ojs.rbmv.org:article/1129Revistahttps://rbmv.org/BJVMONGhttps://rbmv.org/BJVM/oaicontato.rbmv@gmail.com2527-21790100-2430opendoar:2021-05-13T13:46:40Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Medicine - Sociedade de Medicina Veterinária do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (SOMVERJ)false
