Abstract |
Use of medicinal plant
extract against bacteria could reduce the use of antibiotics. One of
these herbs is Zingiber
officinale rose and the other one is
Myrtus
communis
that
have been reported in this paper.
In this study, we tried to show application of
Myrtus communis L
and
dry and
fresh
Zingiber officinale rose (alcoholic extracts) on growth inhibition of some
bacteria. Microorganisms used in this study were selected according to
their pathogenicity including
Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923), Bacillus cereus (ATCC
10876 & NCTC 7464) and Listeria
monocytogenes. Alcoholic extract of
Myrtus
communis
and
Zingiber
officinale rose were
prepared and concentrated up to 70% of initial weight. The fresh
Zingiber
officinale rose
extract had the most restrains effect (attended to
minimal restrain) for 42.6 milligrams of
Listeria with the percentage
of 9.1 millimeters of corona. There is no any restraining effect of
fresh
Zingiber officinale rose
on
these bacteria. For Staphylococcus
aureus and Listeria
monocytogenes, the
Myrtus
communis
herb
had a more restraining effect than fresh
Zingiber officinale rose. In conclusion, ginger extract can effectively kill
pathogenic bacteria.
