The Corvus splendens (Indian house crow) normally fed on the garbage therefore, they have many pathogenic bacteria, which can infect the human and cause severe infection in human irrespective to the gender, age and region. The bacteria samples were isolated from the faeces, blood lever, and intestines of the crows in Luria-Bertani (LB) agar plates. The culture plates were incubated at 37°C until the colonies were appeared. The colonies were identified morphologically and through molecular marker using 16S-rDNA. The Commiphora myrrha plant extract was used to determine the antibacterial activities against the pathogenic bacteria isolated from crows. The plant was crushed with 70% methanol and filtered. The filtrates were dried and dissolved in 100% methanol. Antibacterial activities of plant extracts were determined against the pathogenic bacteria isolated from crows. The results showed that the plant extracts were very effective against the pathogenic bacteria and showed 100% antibacterial activities. The plants extracts were analyzed for the characterization of different antimicrobial compound through gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The undecane, tetrasiloxane, hexadecanoic acid, heptasiloxane, benzocyclohepten and many other compounds. The antibacterial activities of the plant extracts were might be because of their compound which had been reported previously as well as an antimicrobial compound.

The antibacterial properties of konjac glucomannan (KGM) film containing two herb extracts (Atractylodes lancea and Saussurea lappa) at various concentrations was studied in this present work. This activity was tested against two pathogenic bacteria, Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus. The results showed that the mean value of inhibition zone diameter of incorporated films with Saussurea lappa extracts were higher than those incorporating Atractylodes lancea extracts for all concentrations. The film incorporated with S. lappa extract had higher antibacterial activity against both bacteria than incorporated with A. lamcea. For all these levels, it can be seen that the KGM film had satisfactory physical properties and antibacterial activities.

The widespread use of antibiotics often causes increase in the bacterial drugs resistance and causes many side effects in humans. Medical plants have antimicrobial effects against most pathogenic bacteria and can serve as harmless replacement to antibiotics. The aim of this study was to assess the antibacterial effect of five medicinal plant prevailed in Kurdistan region namely; Cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassia (L.) D.Don), Nigella (Nigella sativa L.), Allium (Allium hirtifolium Boiss.), Carrot (Daucus carota L.), and Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) against pathogenic Gram positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus), and pathogenic Gram negative bacteria (Salmonella typhi and Escherichia coli). The evaluation of antibacterial activity for these plant extracts was carried out using agar-well diffusion method. Results showed that minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of A. hirtifolium against tested bacterial isolates were (25 mg/mL), the lowest MIC values for S. aureus were (25 mg/mL) observed with C. cassia, N. sativa and F. vulgare ethanolic extracts and the lowest MIC of D. carota against bacterial isolates were (50 mg/mL), Also, it was observed that S. aureus was more sensitive than S. typhi and E. coli to plant extracts. The ethanol plant extracts had potential antibacterial activities. However, further studies are required to identify the active compounds which could be used for the preparation of new antimicrobial agents and control the bacterial infectious diseases.
