EFFECT OF SOME PLANTS EXTRACT ON SOME BACTERIAL ISOLATED CAUSING URINARY TRACT INFECTION (UTI)

Abstract

This study was conducted at the Biology Department at college of science in Al-Anbar university according to complete randomize block design(C.R.B.D) to know the effect of cold water extract, hot water extract and alcoholic extract of the plants (Myrtus communis, Linum usitatissimum, Trigonella foenum, Zingiber officinal, Glycyrriza globra) with concentration (10, 25, 50) mg/ ml of each plant on four pathogenic bacteria (E. coli , Klebsella pneumoniae , Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Proteus mirabilis) which caused urinary tract infection being isolated from patients in Al-Ramadii hospital. The results showed that alcoholic and hot water extract are more suitable than cold water extracts for all study plant. The concentration 50 mg/ml supplies high inhibition for all plants compared with the other concentrations. The inhibition increased with increase of concentration. The alcoholic, cold and hot extracts for myrtus plant supplies the high inhibition for pathogenic bacteria used in the study, then the Glycyrriza glabra come at second step, and the other plants give different effects according to the extract type.
