Evaluation of the inhibitory efficiency of some aqueous and alcoholic extracts of chamomile, aloe vera and fenugreek plants on the growth of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from wounds.

Abstract

The current study included testing the natural biological efficacy of aqueous extracts of chamomile and aloe vera and alcoholic extracts of chamomile and fenugreek to evaluate their ability to inhibit the growth of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from wounds of a hospital in Baghdad using the diffusion method, the results showed that the aqueous extracts were more effective in inhibiting the growth of bacteria Of the alcoholic extracts, the highest inhibition rate was recorded at a concentration of 40 mg / ml, and it was 13.2 and 12.8 mm for chamomile and aloe vera plants, respectively, compared to the average diameter of the inhibition diameters of alcoholic extracts, which was maximum at a concentration of 40 mg / ml, which was 10.4 and 9.2 mm. For chamomile and fenugreek extracts, respectively, and when examining the sensitivity of bacteria to antibiotics, the most effective ones were Gentamycin & Clindamycin, as the growth diameter reached 12.4 and 10 mm, respectively, and it is less effective for the rate of inhibition of bacterial diameters using aqueous extracts of chamomile and aloe vera at a concentration of 40 mg / ml.
