   • According to Remon-Rodriguez H (2012)

     Excerpt The dried extracts showed antibacterial activity in vitro against Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 29737). the yellow mammee (Mammea americana L.) is widely used to cure different diseases caused by parasites and insects.

   • According to Lemus C (2021)

     Excerpt Mammea americana is a tropical tree belonging to the Calophyllaceae family that bears edible fruits & is known locally as “Mamey”, “Mammee apple” or “Abricot-pays”. The antitumor & antimicrobial activities have often been described as well.

   • According to Mosquera-Chaverra L (2022)

     Excerpt The results showed remarkable antibacterial activity of the ethanolic extract (20 mg/ml) against Staphylococcus aureus (22.6 mm) & Escherichia coli (19.6 mm) & of the crude water extract (20 mg/ml) against Staphylococcus aureus (18.5 mm) & E coli (12.4 mm). Antibacterial activity & minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) were carried out by agar diffusion & dilution methods, respectively, using ethanolic & aqueous extracts.

   • According to Pajaro-Gonzalez Y (2022)

     Excerpt aureus strains that are sensitive and resistant to methicillin, led to the isolation of four coumarins identified as Mammea B/BA, Mammea B/BC, Mammea A/AA cyclo D & Mammea A/AA cyclo F, and a mixture of Mammea B/BA cyclo F plus Mammea B/BD cyclo F. aureus with MIC values of 2–4 μg/ml & Mammea B/BA (MaBBA) presented MIC values in a range between 0.5 & 1.0 μg/ml in six methicillin-sensitive strains & eight Methicillin-Resistant strains evaluated.

   • According to Herrera-Herrera Ale (2014)

     Excerpt Mammea Americana extracts have reported antimicrobial effects against several microorganisms. The development of periodontal disease a dental caries is influenced by several factors, such as microorganisms of bacterial biofilm or commensal bacteria in the mouth.

   • According to Remon-Rodriguez H (2012)

     Excerpt the yellow mammee (Mammea americana L.) is widely used to cure different diseases caused by parasites and insects. Objective: to perform a phytochemical screening and to determine antibacterial activity of dry extracts of 20 % tincture from the leaves & the bark of this plant.

   • According to Gómez-Calderón C (2017)

     Excerpt The objective of this study was to identify some of the compounds that are present in Mammea Americana & Tabernaemontana cymosa plants & subsequently, to evaluate their cytotoxicity in VERO cells & their potential antiviral effects on DENV & CHIKV infections in those same cells. Pre- & post-treatment antiviral assays were performed at non-toxic concentrations; the resulting DENV inhibition was evaluated by Real-Time PCR & the CHIKV inhibition was tested by the plating method.

   • According to FRAME AD (1998)

     Excerpt Mammea americana showed the greatest inhibitory activity suggesting that certain plant species yield valuable anti-Mycobacterium tuberculosis substances. Evidence is provided suggesting that: (1) Six crude plant extracts (12%) tested possessed inhibitory capacity at the amount of 500 micrograms per disc; (2) Mammea americana extract yielded the strongest inhibitory effect at 50 micrograms per disc, followed by M polymorpha, Mangifera indica, Callistemon citrinus, Syzygium jambos & Momordica charantia; (3) the bactericidal inhibitory pattern of MTB growth, exposed to M americana extract, was comparable to Streptomycin & (4) the transitory reduction pattern of MTB growth, produced by Callistemon citrinus, M polymorpha extracts at 100 micrograms & 250 micrograms, was similar to that of Bacteriostatic agents.
