主 题:Antibacterial activity Antifungal activity Ethnopharmacology Screening
摘 要:Objective:To describe the ethnopharmacology study and screening of the antimicrobial activity of hydroalcoholic and chloroform extracts of the four plants Ceratonia siliqua(***),Salvadora persica,Aloe vera and Anastatica ***:The antimicrobial activity was determined using diffusion disk and solid agar dilution methods against 12 bacteria,according to the recommendations of the Clinical and Laboratory Standards ***:The ethnopharmacology study provided useful information about how the parts used for the preparation of *** extracts obtained by maceration reveal variable yields depending on the polarity of the solvent *** higher yields were those extracts obtained by the hydroalcoholic *** Anastatica hierochuntica and *** extracts were by far the most interesting and exerted significant antibacterial activity(minimum inhibitory concentration of 0.07 to 0.13 mg/mL).Conclusions:These results suggest that *** could serve as an alternative source of antibacterial agents for human protection against infectious diseases.
