Abstract:
In the present work, antibacterial activity of a hydroethanolic extract of Terminalia mantaly was verified on two bacteriam strains Staphylococcus aureus American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) and Salmonella typhi in petri dishes by comparing the diameters of the different inhibition zones. The hydroethanolic extract of Terminalia mantaly was prepared with a solvent containing 70% ethanol and 30% distilled water. The Mueller-Hinton medium was poured into petri dishes and then the bacterial strains (Staphylococcus aureus ATCC and Salmonella typhi) were separately plated. Using the wells, the extract was introduced to record the diameters of the inhibition zone in order to assess the antibacterial activity. Oxacillin was used as a standard antibacterial. The results showed that the antibacterial activity is pronounced on Staphylococcus aureus ATCC compared to Salmonella typhi. These tests support the use of Terminalia mantaly against various bacterial diseases.
