ABSTRACT

The emergency of bacterial resistance has generated new interests in searching medications with antibacterial power, evidence of that is the increase, in the latest years, of publications related to physiotherapeutic natural products with antibacterial effects. Sechium edule, known as squash, is one of the plant species promising ethnopharmacological use with great potential to counteract the damage which bacteria may cause to the human organism. The aim of this work is to deepen on the knowledge of its ethnobotanical characteristics and its antibacterial effect, to generate new expectations of additional therapy in the treatment of bacterial infections. A search in the main database on scientific biomedical bibliography available (BVS-BIREME, PubMed, LILACS, SciELO, EBSCO) so as in Academic GOOGLE with the key words Bacterial resistance, medicinal plants, Ethnobotanics, etnopharmacology, bacterial infections. The information was analyzed in order to determine the objectives of this work. It was corroborated that infectious disease caused by pathogenic bacterial strains is a health problem that may be fought through alternative medicine, fundamentally phytotherapy because plants are a main source of new chemotherapeutic drugs and Sechium edule one of the most significant alternative to the solution.
