| Abstract | ||
| The objective of this study is to investigate the antimicrobial activity of Nerium oleander roots and leaf extract against Staphylococcus epidermis , Escherichia coli , Protus mirabilis and Staphylococcus aureus . The ethanol and methanol extracts of Nerium oleander showed high activity against the bacteria with different range of inhibition zone . The ethanolic extract of Nerium oleander (2.5, 5, 10, 20) mg/ml showed high antibacterial activity against all tested micro-organisms with inhibition zone of (12 -25) mm , while methanolic extract of leaves with the same concentrations showed inhibition zone (10-22) mm. | ||
