| Abstract | ||
| This study aimed to compare inhibitory activity of Ginger (Zingiber officinale) and selected antibiotics (Amikiacin, Cefoxitin, Streptomycin, Chloramphenicol and Ampicillin) against local virulent bacteria obtained from Al-Ramadi teaching hospital (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Proteus spp., Bacillus subtilis). The results showed that approved previous studies as ginger having antibacterial potency able to establish valuable inhibition zones in vitro. Ginger demonstrated varied inhibitory zones on all the test bacterial organisms while bacterial test organisms resistant to two of five antibiotics. Ginger Extract at concentration (50 mg/ml) showed an inhibition zone against Staph. aureus (37 mm) exceeded the used antibiotics in these study. | ||
