Description
Summary:Here the chloramphenicol is used as a positive control for evaluating the results get from the plant extracts. [...]the results obtained from the present study indicate that the Ethanol stem extracts exhibited the highest inhibitory effect against all selected human pathogenic bacteria meanwhile the ethanol leaf extract also showed the same result as in stem extract except Enterobacter amnigenus and Escherichia coli. Since earlier times plants as a source of pharmaceutical agents have continued to play a leading role in upholding human health11. According to S.R. Kane et al., 2009, the ethanol extract of Euphorbia thymifolia exhibited greater zone of inhibition against Staphylococcus aureus21. According to Parameswari et al., 2012, who reported that the methanol extract of Solanum nigrum exhibits highest antibacterial activity against all the test bacteria29.
