Title

Study on Antimicrobial Effect of Hydroalcholic Extract of Ruta graveolens on 8 Pathogenic Bacteria

English Abstract

Background & Objectives: Regarding to side effects of chemical and synthetic drugs, positive concern to using herbal products instead of chemical drugs is increased from late years of 20th century. Ruta graveolens is one of the oldest plant which is used in traditional medicine of Iran and other old countries and is used for different medical purposes and showed a variety of therapeutic effects. Aim of this study is investigating antimicrobial effect of hydroalcholic extract of Ruta graveolens on 8 species of pathogenic bacteria. Methods: In this study standard strains of Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphilococcus epidermis, Strptococcus pneumonia, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia, Salmonella typhi and Enterobacter cloace prepared from Center of Bacteria and Fungi collection, Iranian Institute of Scientific and Industerial Researches, are used. Effect of Hydroalcholic extract of this plant on growth of mentioned bacteria is determined by using disc diffusion methods and also by measuring MIC in comparison to effects of 8 common antibiotics on those bacteria. Results: Hydroalcholic extract of Ruta graveolens did not show inhibitory effect on growth of studied bacteria in this study. Conclusion: It seems that this is because of resistant character of used bacteria and weak or non antibacterial effect of this plant on resistant bacteria.
