چکیده

conclusions: with respect to the obtained results and regarding to the daily increase of the resistant microbial strains to the commercial antibiotics, it can be concluded that these extracts can be proper candidates of antibacterial substance against pathogenic bacterial species especially s. aureus, e. coli, k. pneumoniae and s. epidermidis. results: the extract of c. fistula was effective against b. cereus, s. aureus, s. epidermidis, e. coli and k. pneumoniae. the most susceptible microorganisms to ethanolic and methanolic extracts were e. coli and k. pneumoniae, respectively. also b. cereus and s. aureus showed the least sensitivity to ethanolic and methanolic extracts, respectively. the mic (minimum inhibitory concentration) and mbc (minimum bactericidal concentration) of ethanolic extracts against s. aureus, e. coli, s. epidermidis and k. pneumoniae were also determined. materials and methods: the microbial inhibitory effect of methanolic and ethanolic extracts of c. fistula was tested on 3 gram positive: bacillus cereus, staphylococcus aureus and s. epidermidis and 5 gram negative: salmonella typhi, kelebsiella pneumoniae, escherichia coli, pseudomonas aeruginosa, and proteus mirabilis bacterial species using disc diffusion method at various concentrations. the minimum inhibitory and bactericidal concentrations (mic and mbc) were measured by the tube dilution assay. background: cassia fistula, is a flowering plant and a member of fabaceae family. its leaves are compound of 4 - 8 pairs of opposite leaflets. there are many cassia species around the world which are used in herbal medicine. objectives: this study was designed to examine in vitro anti-bacterial activity of methanolic and ethanolic extracts of c. fistula native to khuzestan, iran.
