Abstract

Effect of ethanolic extract of Clove (Eugenia caryophyllus) examined against (4) species of pathogenic bacteria ('Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium) using: diffusion method, determination the minimum inhibitory concentration MIC, and minimum bactericidal concentration MBC. The results showed that Clove extract appeared high inhibitory effect on the growth of' 'Staphylococcus aureus & Pseudomonas aeruginosa, this inhibition increased with increasing the concentration. The MIC values were, 2.0, 4.0 mg/ml respectively, on the other hand, the MBC value against 'Staphylococcus aureus was 4.0 mg/ml. while the MBC value against Pseudomonas aeruginosa dose not effective. Further Escherichia coli & Salmonella typhimurium showed resistance to the activity of Clove extract.
