摘要

To test the in vitro antimicrobial efficacy of water and methanol extracts of 23 plant species that are commonly used in Libyan folk medicine. The antimicrobial activity was determined using the well-diffusion method. Four test microorganisms were used namely

Escherichia coli

Salmonella species

Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined for the high biologically active crude plant extracts. Among 23 medicinal plants used in the study

only 5 methanolic extracts [Rosmarinus offcinalis L.

Carduus marianium L.

Lantana camara L.

Rhus tripartite (ueria) Grande

and Thymus capitatus (L.) Hoffm (link)] showed the highest antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus

Bacillus subtilis and Salmonella species

while 22 methanolic and aqueous extracts showed moderate to weak antimicrobial activity on all tested organisms. However 19 of the extracts showed no activity at all against Gram–ve and Gram +ve microorganisms. MIC was found to be 1.25 mg/mL (Thymus capitatus)

3 mg/mL (Rhus tripartite)

4 mg/mL (Carduus marianium)

5 mg/mL (Rosamarinus officinalis) and 5 mg/mL (Lantana camara)

respectively. The present results revealed that

crude methanolic extracts of the investigated Libyan folk medicinal plants exhibited mild to high in vitro antibacterial activities against Gram-positive and Gram-negative microorganisms.
