Abstract

Forty (40) extracts (ethanol, n-hexan, chloroform and methanol) from Libyan medicinal plants were tested for their antimicrobial activity against seven bacterial strains and yeast (Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtilis, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis.
Candida albicans) by using the broth microdilution method.
Tested plants belong to ten (10) different species.
These plants are widely used for a long time in Folk Libyan medicine.
The strongest inhibitory activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria was showed by N. sativa and H. tuberculatum extracts with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 4 mg/ml and 16, respectively.
Some extracts showed an inhibitory activity against yeast with MIC of 16 mg/ml.
