| Abstract | ||
| The results indicate that the aqueous and ethanolic extracts of Myrtus communis L are better than Cyperus rotundus L. The ethanolic extract was found to be the most effective antimicrobial agent as compared to the aqueous extract. The ethanolic extract of Myrtus communis L. was active against all microorganisms investigated while its aqueous extract, hot water extract showed adjusting activities against tested organisms when compared with cold water extract .The ethanolic extract of Cyperus rotundus L. was active against the studied bacterial strains in 400mg/ml and 500mg/ml respectively except Acinitobacter bumani which showed high resistance to this extract . Both, aqueous extract of Cyperus rotundus L. showed no activity against tested microorganisms in all concentrations. The results of Myrtus communis L. showed lowest MIC and MBC of 120 mg/ml. While the results of Cyperus rotundus L. MIC and MBC between 120-480mg/ml. The Myrtus communis L. sub –MIC was highly effective on tested microorganisms' virulence factors than Cyperus rotundus L. and methanol extract was showed more effective compare with cold and hot water extract. | ||
