Antibacterial activity of phoenix dactylifera L. leaf extracts against several isolates of bacteria

الملخص EN

The objective of this research is to find a natural chemical compounds alternative available and free of side effects and high-impact effective against many bacterial species.

The crude ethanol extracts of Phoenix dactylifera leaves were tested for antibacterial action against bacterial isolates, the ethanol extracts showed good antibacterial activity against all isolates Enterobacter sp., Salmonella sp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsella pneumonia, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Protus sp.

bacterial isolates which had shown zone of inhibition against all plant extracts concentration with exceptions at 25 mg/ml concentration related with Salmonella sp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and Protus sp., also the largest inhibition zone were revealed at 100 mg / ml concentration especially with Escherichia coli and Streptococcus pneumoniae isolate while Salmonella sp.

isolate exhibited the smallest inhibition zone under 50mg / ml concentration.
