Throat infections are common cause for visit to health care centres. This study is aimed at investigating the antibacterial efficacy of G. kola seeds against bacteria involved in throat infections. Twenty clinical and 4 typed bacterial isolates associated with throat infections were obtained. Extraction from G. kola seeds using ethanol, methanol, ethyl acetate, acetone, hot and cold water as ex...

in many parts of the world there is a rich tradition in the use of herbal medicine for the treatment of many infectious diseases. because of the side effects and the resistance that pathogenic microorganisms build against the antibiotics, much recent attention has been paid to extract the biologically active compounds from plant species used in herbal medicine. in this study different parts of ...

Total flavonoids contents and antibacterial activity of the extracts from the aerial parts of two Labiateae species, Nepeta menthoides Boiss. & Buhse and Thymus trautvetteri Klokov & Desj.-Shost. were determined. Quantitative determination of flavonoid contents was calculated in terms of quercetin equivalent in various extracts (50% methanol, chloroform and distilled water) by AlCl3 colorimetri...

Antibacterial activity of the aerial extracts from Xanthium brasilicum prepared in methanol, diethyl ether, petroleum benzene and an equal mixture of the three solvents were studied against bacterial laboratory standards and clinical isolates using the disk diffusion method. The best antibacterial results were obtained when methanol or the solvent mixture was used. The crude extract with the hi...

The in vitro antimicrobial activity of Cassia didymobotrya and Phlogacanthus thyrsiflorus leaf extracts were studied against selected bacteria and fungi following Agar disc diffusion method. Leaves were extracted using distilled water, methanol and ethyl acetate. Three different concentrations were applied to the disc (100μg, 250μg and 500μg/disc) for each extracts. While the aqueous extracts o...
