چکیده
This study was carried out to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of methanolic extract and different fractions (nbutanol, ethyl acetate, chloroform and n-hexane) of Glycyrrhiza glabra root. The antimicrobial activity was determined by the disc diffusion method and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against a panel of microorganisms (four bacterial strains, i.e P. multocida, E. coli, B. subtilis and S. aureus and three fungal strains, i.e. A. flavus, A. niger and R. solani). The results indicated that plant extract and fractions mildly potent as antimicrobial agent.
