Abstract |
|
The crude ethanolic extracts of twenty two wild
plants growing in the Iraqi south regions was
evaluated for antibacterial activities against five
bacterial species: Gram positive (Staphylococcus
aureus ATCC25923) and Gram negative (
Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC27853, Escherichia
coli ATCC25922) (Klebsiella pneumonia
and Proteus vulgaris) bacteria by agar well
diffusion method . The results showed that the
Arnebia decumbens exhibit broad spectrum
activity against all bacterial species. Of 22 plants
tested, 10 showed encouraging antibacterial results
against one or more species of bacteria .On
the other hand 11 plants species have no activity.
Keywords:
Antibacterial activity, Agar well diffusion assay,
Wild plants.
