The Inhibitory Activity Of Medicinal And Aromatic Plants Used In Folklore Medicine In Jazan Region Of Kingdom Saudi Arabia
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2016, Vol 11, Issue 2
Abstract
Treatment of various human disorders with folkloric medicine has been in practice for centuries. This study was conducted on twenty medicinal and aromatic plants found in Jazan region of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The aim was to investigate the antimicrobial activity of different extracts from these plants on nine common bacterial and four fungal pathogens. The extracts showed varying but high microbial growth inhibitory activity against most of the pathogens tested, which was in some cases comparable to commercially available antimicrobials. The study provides baseline information about the potential use of these plants in the discovery and development of effective antimicrobials.
