Resumo
Devido à grande ascensão dos produtos tradicionais fitoterápicos, houve um aumento no número de lojas que as comercializam nas grandes cidades, com o correspondente aumento no número de consumidores finais. Este trabalho teve como objetivo a análise microbiológica de algumas plantas de uso popular da medicina tradicional no Brasil, e que são comercializadas livremente na cidade de São Paulo. As espécies estudadas, foram: boldo (Peumus boldus), camomila (Matricaria chamomilla) e espinheira santa (Maytenus ilicifolia). Foram feitas análises de contagem de bactérias totais, fungos totais e a identificação de patógenos. Os resultados constataram a presença de Escherichia coli em todas as amostras e Staphylococcus aureus apenas nas amostras de espinheira santa. A Salmonella sp não se fez presente em nenhumas das amostras ensaiadas. A contagem total de bactérias se apresentou dentro dos limites especificados pela Farmacopeia Brasileira, entretanto a contagem de fungos totais ultrapassou os limites previstos, o que aliado à presença de Escherichia coli em todas as amostras, não permitiu a aprovação destas amostras dentro dos parâmetros dos ensaios de controle de qualidade.
Due to the great rise of traditional phytotherapeutic products, there was an increase in the number of shops that sell these products in the big cities, following the increase in the interested population. The objective of this study was to perform microbiological analyses of some of the plants from traditional medicine used in Brazil, and that are freely commercialized in the city of São Paulo. The species studied were: boldo (Peumus boldus), chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla), and espinheira santa (Maytenus ilicifolia). Total bacterial and fungal counts were determined, as well as pathogen identification. The results verified the presence of Escherichia coli in all samples and Staphylococcus aureus only in samples of espinheira santa. Salmonella sp was not present in any of the tested samples. The total bacterial count was within the specified limits by the Brazilian Pharmacopoeia; however, the total fungal count exceeded the established limits which, together with the presence of Escherichia coli in all samples, did not allow the approval of the samples within the parameters used for quality control tests.
