Abstract:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the biological activity of organic solvent extracts of
Euphorbia prostrate on growth inhibition of pseudomonasaeruginosa and staphylococcus aureus
and compare them with several antibiotics. The results of testing alcohol extracts showed high
efficiency in inhibition of growth of s. aureus in concentration of 50mg / ml, but for p.
aeruginosa, growth inhibition began at 70mg / ml. Results also showed that hexane extract had
no effect on both bacteria. on the other hand, Ethyl acetate extract had inhibitive effects on s.
aureus at 70mg / ml and onp. aeruginosa at 90mg / ml. When the activity of the three organic
extracts on inhibition of test bacteria were compared with several antibiotics, identity of
inhibition degree was found between them and even superiority on some others. |
