Preliminary Studies on Antibacterial and Antiviral Activities of Five Medicinal Plants
Author(s): Abdel-Shafi SAbdel-Shafi S
It is of interest to inhibit the pathogenic bacteria and virus by medicinal plants. This method is safe and cheap. The antimicrobial activities of aqueous infusion and decoction of five medicinal plants: Nigella sativa (NS), Zingiber officinale, Thymus vulgaris, Syzygium aromaticum, Mentha piperita were investigated. The screening of antibacterial activity was against Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Lactococcus lactis and Bacillus cereus. The aqueous infusion of ginger exhibited maximum activity against E. coli with 15.00 mm inhibition zone (IZ). Also, the infusion of black seeds showed highest antibacterial activity against Lactococcus lactis, P. aeruginosa, L. monocytogenes, and Staphylococcus aureus with 22.30, 9.60, 9.50 and 9.00 mm IZ, respectively. The decoction of peppermint exhibited significant inhibition against E. col.. View More»
