| AbstractThe effects of plants aqueous extracts (Myrtle, Harmal, Henna, Thyme and Fenugreek) againstsome clinical species of microorganisms were studied. These isolates included: Pseudomonas sp.,Klebseilla sp., Escherichia coli, Proteus sp., Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans. Thesusceptibility of these isolates was tested against plants aqueous extracts by the agar well diffusionmethod. The results showed that the aqueous extract of Myrtle inhibited the growth of all testedmicroorganisms at concentration 5%, followed by Harmal when all tested bacteria were inhibited atconcentration 10% except C. albicans inhibited at 20%. Compare with Henna when all bacteriawere inhibited at concentration 20% except C. albicans was resistant, followed by Thyme whichonly two bacteria (Klebsiella sp. & Staphylococcus aureus) were inhibited at 20% while theremaining microorganism were resistant. On other hand all tested microorganisms were resistant toFenugreek even at high concentration. | ||
