English Abstract
Introduction The antimicrobial effect of the medicinal plants is well documented may different studies provide evidence that some medicinal plants might indeed be potential sources of new antibacterial agents even against some antibiotic-resistant strain Objective.
Aim of this work was to select some herbal plants to study their medicinal uses as antimicrobial agent.
The plants selected were : a) Helichrysum stoechas.
b) Thymus vulgaris.
c) Artimisia herba.
d) Erodium glauchophyllum.
e) Peganum haramala.
f) ginrer.
Their antimicrobial activity were used against Serratia spp., Bacillus cereus, E.coli, Micrococcus roseus, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptomyces spp.
and Micrococcus luteaus.
The method of extraction applied in this thesis was the Soxhlet-hot extraction using petroleum ether and alcoholic solvents.
Results and.conclution, the bacterial inhibition by the extract was as follows : Serratia spp was found moderately sensitive to Peganum haramala with failure to produce pigment.
B.
cereus was found highly sensitive to Artimisia herba-alba and Thymus vulgaris and only moderately so to Peganum haramala, while it showed low response to Peganum haramala.
Escherchia coli showed moderate inhibition to Ginger, Peganum and Artimisia.
Micrococcus roseus responded well to Artimisia and Thymus and only moderately to Ginger.
Staphylococcus aureus responded well only to Artimisia and moderately to Peganum.
Sterptomyces spp.
responded well only to Peganum and Artimisia, while showed moderate response to Ginger and Thymus.
Micrococcus luteaus showed high response to Peganum and Artimisia and only moderate response to others.
With the exception of Erodium in high concentrations, none of the tested plants showed any signs of toxicity in rats tested.
The former produced liver fatty changes and haemorrhages in the kidneys.
