Antibacterial Activity of Some Medicinal Plants against Some Bacteria Species and food spoilage bacteria

In the current study, some plants were selected to screen their potential antibacterial activity. For evaluating activity, both aqueous and organic solvents) methanol acetone (were used. The tested Cymbopogon schoenanthus, Cotula cinerea, Francoeuria crispa. Agar well diffusion method was used test activity against two Gram negative (Brucella spp., Proteus spp.) three positive (Staphylococcus albus, Streptococcus Bacillus subtilis) bacterial species. All extracts effective agents, being capable of inhibiting growth each examined bacteria. Based on findings this methanol, leaves C. cinerea F. crispa showed various efficiency towards Among plant extracts, strongest shown by extract spp, with inhibition zone 27±1mm, subtilis 26.27±4mm, followed Brucella spp. 24±1 mm, 22±1mm respectively. exhibited greatest evaluated bacteria, schoenanthus cinerea. comparison, pronounced inhibitory gram These demonstrate that certain may have properties. This study suggests possibility applying as natural sources provide clues clarify candidates for future development new chemotherapeutic drugs treatment infectious diseases.
