High occurrence of antibiotic resistance in pathogenic bacteria is caused by the use of natural medicinal plants to eliminate risk of infectious diseases. Glycine max is on the most popular and nutritious foods with high antimicrobial effects. The present research was done to study the antibacterial effects of the methanolic extract of G. max against Gram-negative and positive bacteria. G. max seeds of M7 and M9 varieties were purchased and their methanolic extracts were collected. Diameter of the zone of growth inhibition of extracts were measured for pathogenic bacteria using the CLSI guidelines. Antimicrobial effects of G. max extracts were also compared with several antibiotics. Diameter of the inhibition zone of tested bacteria against different treatments of G. max had a ranges of 5.93±0.18 to 22.61±1.80 mm. M7 variety had a higher antimicrobial effects on tested bacteria (P0.05). The highest diameter of the zone of growth inhibition was seen for L. monocytogenes (22.61±1.80 mm) and S. aureus (19.33±1.56 mm). Antimicrobial effects of the methanolic extract of the G. max was also dose-dependent (P0.05). Diameter of the inhibition zone of tested bacteria against different antibiotic agents had a ranges of 5.94±0.38 to 24.95±2.11 mm. Ciprofloxacin, penicillin G tetracycline, gentamicin and azithromycin antibiotic agents exhibited the highest diameter of zone of the growth inhibition for K. pneumoniae (15.71±1.46 mm), L. monocytogenes (23.94±2.03 mm), L. monocytogenes (20.55±1.95 mm), S. aureus (14.27±1.36 mm) and L. monocytogenes (24.95±2.11 mm), respectively. Formulation of antibiotic agent using the 100 mg/mL concentration of the M7 variety of G. max has been recommended for treatment of the cases of infectious diseases

Introduction: So far, a lot of attempts have been carried out to find antimicrobial compounds. In this study, it was also tried to investigate the antibacterial effects of Achillea millefolium on standard Klebsiella, S. pyogenes, and oral bacterias strain. Material and Methods: The aerial parts of Achillea millefolium were used and the aqueous, ethanolic, methanolic, acetone and hydroethanolic extracts were prepared. After the preparation of standard strains of Klebsiella, S. pyogenes, and oral bacterias and sterilization of extracts by the Millipore filter, the antibacterial effects of these extracts on the mentioned microorganisms were assessed by minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC), and well diffusion at the concentration 50 mg/ml. The test was repeated three times for each bacterium. Results: It was exposed that aqueous extract of Achillea millefolium had the most distinguished antimicrobial effects against all studied strains and methanolic extract had antimicrobial effects only on S. pyogenes. MIC and MBC of effective extracts were the basic concentration (50mg/ml), and non-growth zone was not observed in other serial dilution in case of all bacteria. Conclusion: The Achillea millefolium can be admitted as an antibacterial medicinal herb. Thus, it can be concluded that after evaluating their effects in vitro, Achillea millefolium can be utilized as an alternative to the routine chemical drugs.

Infectious diseases cause enormous morbidity and mortality of the population worldwide every year. The increase in the rate of infectious diseases and bacteria attaining resistance to antibiotics and side effects of some synthetic antibiotics has led to an increased interest in medicinal plants as a better and natural alternative to synthetic drugs. Antibacterial activity of solvent extracts of Anethum graveolens L. was evaluated by agar cup diffusion and disc diffusion methods against some common pathogenic bacteria, namely, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus cereus, Salmonella typhi, and Enterobacter aerogenes. The antioxidant capacity of different extracts of Anethum graveolens was estimated by diphenyl picryl hydrazyl (DPPH), nitric oxide (NO), and hydrogen peroxide. Solvent extracts of A. graveolens recorded a good 18-19 mm inhibition zone activity with methanol extract. The MIC of A. graveolens methanol extract was recorded in the range 125-1667 µg/ ml for test pathogens. The IC50 values showed that methanol extract was nearly potent to butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) followed by ethyl acetate extracts in all the methods. Methanol extracts of A. graveolens possess a broad spectrum of activity against several human pathogenic and potent antioxidant properties. A natural substance obtained from plants that is a part of a daily diet, a nutritional supplement with antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, constitutes a new source of herbal drugs.

Endophytic bacteria are beneficial microorganisms that interact with host plants without causing disruption or damage to the host. Some studies suggest that certain endophytic bacteria can produce chemical compounds that have an effect on health, especially endophytic bacteria isolated from medicinal plants. Green betel (Piper betle L.) is a medicinal plant that has been used for years and has many benefits. The purposes of this study are to isolating and screening of endophytic bacteria from green betel against four pathogenic bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Bacillus cereus and Salmonella enteritidis). The number of endophytic bacteria that has been isolated are 14 isolates. Based on the screening results, three isolates of endophytic bacteria have potential activity (characterized by the formation of inhibition zone) against S. aureus. The inhibition zone may indicate that those isolates produce compounds that have antibacterial effects. Those isolates are AS1, BS1 and BS2. The biggest inhibition zone showed by BS1, so it can be concluded that BS1 is the most potential isolate as a novel source of antibacterial compound.

Infectious diseases are the critical problems of the world as a result of the emergence of different antimicrobial resistant microorganisms due to several reasons like misuses and repeating uses of antibiotics. Because of this, searching of new treatment method is important from natural substances to against those infectious diseases in both human and animals’ aspects. Among those plants, Sida rhombifolia has various roles against those infectious diseases through its different phytochemical components. The objectives of this study were assessing the antibacterial activity of the aqueous-methanol extract of the plant’s aerial part and knowing the phytochemical constituents of the plant. Preliminary phytochemical screening revealed that the extract of S. rhombifolia’s aerial part possesses flavonoids, alkaloids, polyphenols, and quinines. In addition to this, the antibacterial activity of the plant extract was evaluated on five pathogenic bacteria species using agar well diffusion method at different concentrations of plant extracts. Minimum inhibition concentration and minimum bactericidal concentration determinations were done by tetrazolium chloride microtiter dilution assay. The inhibition zone of mean diameters ranging from 0.00 to 7.67mm against all test bacteria was significantly (p<0.05) much less than that of the positive control Chloroamphinicole (30μg/disc) with the range of 14.33mm-15mm of inhibition zone of diameters. The inhibition zones of the tested bacteria at the concentration of 62.5mg/ml were much less than the higher concentration (500mg/ml) and significantly different (p<0.05), whereas the MIC value ranges from 4.62 to 97.22mg/ml and the MBC value ranges from 4.62 to 125.00mg/ml. Even if the plant extract showed antibacterial activity, it was lower than that of other solvent extraction methods; so other solvent extraction methods and fractionates must be conducted to investigate the antibacterial activities of the plant extract on different bacterial strains and species that cause different diseases.
