Comparative Study of Antibacterial Activity of Plant Ex-Tracts From Several Regions of Asia

Abstract: This study was designed to investigate the antibacterial activities of alcohol extracts of Phoenix dactylifera (date palm 'type Ajwa'), Nigella sativa (black cumin), Elettaria cardamomum (cardamom), Tinospora crispa (Akar patawali) and Panax ginseng (ginseng). The plant extracts were prepared with methanol and assayed for antibacterial activity against Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) and S. aureus. Extracts of N. sativa, E. cardamomum and P. ginseng produced maximum inhibition activities in … Show more
