STUDY OF ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY OF LEAVES EXTRACTION OF ADIANTUM CAPILLUS-VENERIS FROM SOUTH EAST OF MARIVAN

چکیده مقاله

Adiantum capillus-veneris is a medicinally essential plant used for the treatment of diverse infectious diseases. . Extractions methanolic were performed with a Soxhlet apparatus.To evaluate the antimicrobial activities of extract of leaves were examined against a set of twelve microorganisms. The methanolic leaves extracts ofAdiantumcapillus-veneris investigated for antimicrobial activity by disc diffusion method. These were investigated against selected species of Escherichia coli (ATCC 10536), Bacillus subtilis (ATCC 6633), Klebsiella pneumonia (ATCC 10031), Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 29737), pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 27853), Staphylococcus epidermidis (ATCC 12228), Shigelladysenteriae (PTCC 1188), Proteus vulgaris (PTCC 1182), Salmonella paratyphi-A serotype (ATCC 5702),Candida albicans (ATCC 10231), Aspergillusniger (ATCC 16404),Aspergillus brasiliensis (PTCC 5011), to find the inhibitory activities of the microorganisms.The methanolic leaves extracts of Adiantumcapillus-veneris showed activity against pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillussubtilis. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) values for plant were determined by microdilution method. The samples showed low antimicrobial activities with inhibition zone diameter from 10 to 12 mm in these tests. Extract with inhibition zone diameter of 12, 10, and 10 mm for pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 27853), Bacillus subtilis (ATCC 6633) and Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 29737), exhibited the best results in these tests, respectively.
