The biological activity of eucalyptus rostrata leaves extraction against E. coli and staphylococcus aureus isolated from Iraqi patients

Abstract EN

-The inhibitory effect of Eucalyptus rostrata leaves extraction was investigated on multiple-antibiotic-resistant pathogenic bacteria (E.coli and S.

aureus), isolated from Iraqi patients.

The minimum inhibitory concentrations in a final concentration of 10 mg/ml.

Tow fold dilutions was done from (12.5- 100) mg/ ml to examine the antibacterial effect of different concentrations of the plant extract on both bacteria.

The study results revealed that Eucalyptus rostrata extract has a potential inhibitory effect on both gram negative and gram positive species.

The current study supports the traditional approach of using Eucalyptus rostrata leaves extraction in treatment trails against bacterial infections.
