| Abstract | ||
| Background : Infections with Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci could result in significant morbidity and mortality particularly in immunocompromised patients .The purpose of present study was to evaluate the antibacterial activity of the Albizia lebbeck leaves on Vancomycin Resistant Enterococcus faecalis (VREfs) . Materials and methods: Absolute ethanol and absolute methanol were used to extract the active compounds of the plant leaves .The antibacterial activity against (VREfs) and E.coli (used as a control) was then assessed . Results : Both ethanolic and methanolic extracts exhibited antibacterial activity on VREfs but not on E.coli . Ethanolic extracts showed greater antibacterial activity on VREfs with an inhibition zone of 24 mm at concentration of 200 mg/ml than the mthanolic extracts (inhibition zone of 21 mm) at same concentration. Conclusion : Albizia lebbeck possesses an important antibacterial effect that might be considered in the fight against infectious diseases . | ||
