In Vitro Antibacterial Properties of #Ethanol Extract from #SalviaOfficinalis (L.) Plant Growing Wild in Kosovo by Ibrahim Rudhani in BJSTR

Abstract

In this study the #antibacterialefficiency of ethanol extract from #SalviaOfficinalis (L.) growing wild in Kosovo were examined. Ethanol extract was tested against two gram positive bacteria #Staphylococusaureus (clinical isolate), #Listeriamonocytogenes (clinical isolate) and one gram negative bacteria #Escherichiacoli (clinical isolate). The antibacterial activity was determined by using agar disc diffusion method. The inhibition zone of extract was compared to that of penicillin G. The ethanol extract showed activity in all of the concentrations 1, 3 and 5 mg/ mL towards E. coli, S.aureus and #L. Monocytogenes. #Ethanol extract of the plant with concentration 5 mg/mL showed a stronger antibacterial activity towards bacteria S. aureus with inhibition zone of 9 mm. The antibacterial activity of the S. officinalis (L.) was due to the presence of various secondary metabolites such as phenols and flavonoids. Hence, this plant can be used to discover bioactive natural products that may serve as leads in the development of new pharmaceuticals.
