“…However, several previous findings Branter A et al [27], Nostro et al [28], Ojala et al [29] and Velu and Baskaran, [24] reported that Gramnegative bacteria were susceptible to plant extracts when compared to Gram-positive bacteria. The resistance of Gram-negative bacteria towards antibacterial substances is related to lipopolysaccharides in their outer membrane [30] and [31].…”

“…Previous studies demonstrated high prevalence of active antibacterial substances in plants. Worldwide, plants and herbs are used differently as remedy for certain diseases (Brantner et al, 1996). In the present study, M. peregrina ethanolic extracts exhibited antibacterial activity against broad spectrum of gram negative and gram positive bacteria.…”

The antibacterial effect of Moringa peregrina (leaves, roots and seeds) ethanolic extracts were investigated. The effect of plant extracts were tested against three bacterial species: Escherichia coli (E. coli ATCC25922), Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus ATCC 43300) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae ATCC 13883). M. peregrina ethanolic extracts showed significant antibacterial effect on the three tested bacterial strains using the disc diffusion method. The inhibition zones caused by leaf ethanolic extracts were 14 to 30, 8 to 19 and 9 to 22 mm in diameter against E. coli, K. pneumonia, and S. aureus, respectively. Root ethanolic extracts showed inhibition zones as 18 to 42, 44 to 59 and 34 to 45 mm in diameter against E. coli, K. pneumonia, and S. aureus, respectively. Seed extract caused inhibitory zones of 16 to 38, 6 to 32 and 6 to 18 mm in diameter against E. coli, K. pneumonia and S. aureus, respectively. The results showed that the zones of inhibition for the three bacterial species increased in a dose dependant manner and that the M.peregrina root ethanolic extract exhibited more potent inhibition. The other test done to assess the antibacterial effect of M. peregrina ethanolic extracts was the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC). Such test was conducted on the same three bacterial species, where the MIC for the M. peregrina leaf extract for E. coli, K. pneumoniae, and S. aureus were 12.0, 15.0 and 18 mg/ml, respectively. The MIC for seed ethanolic extract was 13.0 and 7.0 mg/ml against E. coli, K. pneumoniae and S. aureus respectively. Also, the MIC for root ethanolic extract of M. peregrine against E. coli, K. pneumoniae and S. aureus was 9.0, 3, 2, and 5 mg/ml, respectively. Such low MIC values especially for the root extract represent strong potential for M. peregrina as an antibacterial agent.

“…It is therefore possible that they can act as effective antimicrobial substances against a wide array of microorganisms (17). The biologically active constituents of some plant extracts are considered to be antimicrobial agents because of their ability to bind to bacterial adhesions and thus disturb the availability of receptors on the surface (18). Several studies have demonstrated a correlation between antimicrobial activity and chemical compounds in medicinal plants such as alkaloids, anthocyanins, flavonoids, and phenols (15).…”

Background: Bacterial and fungal infections are an emerging public health concern, especially in the context of nosocomial infections. This study discusses the use of peppermint (Mentha piperita L.) methanolic extract against bacterial strains such as Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis, and Staphylococcus aureus and fungal species such as Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Trichophyton verrucosum, and Candida albicans. Objectives: This research aimed to investigate the inhibitory potential of M. piperita methanolic extract against some bacteria and fungi isolated from humans. Materials and Methods: The methanolic extract was prepared by standard procedure, and total phenol, total flavonoid, and total anthocyanin content were determined using a spectrophotometer. Antimicrobial activity against the aforementioned bacteria and fungi strains was evaluated using the disc diffusion method. Results: The contents of total phenol, flavonoid, and anthocyanin as well as antimicrobial activities and antifungal properties were enhanced by the increase of extract concentration. The results showed that the antimicrobial activity of leaf extract was more powerful against Bacillus subtilis (1.39 mm) than Staphylococcus aureus (1.29 mm), Escherichia coli (1.20 mm), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (1.10 mm) based on the growth inhabitation zone. The most powerful antifungal activity of peppermint extract was observed against Trichophyton verrucosum and Trichophyton mentagrophytes (1.49 and 1.48 mm, respectively). Conclusions: Due to phenolic content, methanolic extract of M. piperita has moderate antibacterial and antifungal properties against the aforementioned gram positive and gram negative bacteria and fungi strains.
