The increase in resistance that bacteria develop against antibiotics is making it increasingly difficult to control them. Therefore, further development of studies focused on the use of natural antimicrobials is necessary. This study aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial activity in extracts of Piper marginatum and Piper peltatum species on Klebsiella spp., Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella spp., Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis. By means of microdilutions, the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) and the Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) of the extracts were evaluated. Subsequently, the bacteria were treated with the extract at the Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MICs) found and analyzed under a scanning electron microscope. The Piper peltatum extract showed activity against Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus species, MIC of 31.25 and 125 µl/ml. On the other hand, the extract of Piper marginatum did not show antibacterial activity, MIC above 16,000 µl/ml. The activity of the extract of P. peltatum was considered good against S. aureus and B. subtilis.
