Antibacterial effect of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)‎

Abstract EN

Effect of five concentrations of five non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) included (acetyl salicylic acid, ibuprofen, sodium diclofenate, mefenamic acid, and piroxicam) against five bacterial species (E.

coli, Pseudomonas, Klebsiella, Staphylococcus, Bacillus) via measuring the inhibition zone of drug.

All drugs were effected on all bacterial species except (mefenamic acid, piroxicam) which inhibited only Gramm positive bacteria.

Statistical analysis results showed that the most effected drug was acetyl salicylic acid and the less effective one was mefenamic acid.
