摘      要：Objective:To search for antimicrobial agents among natural ***:Ethanolic extracts of 4 plant species,including Beta vulgaris L.(Chenopodiaceae),Amaranthus graecizans (***) L.(Amaranthaceae),Rumex obtusifolius(***) *** Polygonum patulum(***) M.B.(Polygonaceae),were evaluated for antibacterial activity using agar disc diffusion method against some gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria[Pseudomonas aeruginosa(***),Listeria monocytogenes(***).Staphylococcus epidermidis(***),Staphylococcus aureus(***),Klebsiella pneumoniae(K. pneumoniae),Salmonella typhi(***),Bacillus cereus(***).Bacillus anthracis(B. anthracis),Escherichia coli(***) and Streptococcus pyogenes(***)].These extracts were obtained from aerial parts of the used ***:The majority of these extracts had inhibitory effect at different concentrations(0.05 g/mL,0.10 g/mL,0.20 g/mL and 0.40 g/mL) against above mentioned *** was the most resistant *** highest inhibitory zone was showed by ethanolic extract of *** against ***(28 mm) and followed by ethanolic extract of *** against ***(23 mm).The extract of *** didn’t show inhibitory activity except at 0.40 g/mL against *** minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration(MBC) values of *** extract that was measured against *** were equal(MIC=MBC=5.00mg/mL).Conclusion: The findings of this study could also be as new source for antibiotics discovery and infection treatment.
