In Vitro Antibacterial Properties of Garlic Extract against Some pathogenic bacteria isolated from burn unit

Abstract

The antibacterial effects of aqueous garlic extract and Crude Juice against 38Gram-positive and Gram-negative
bacterial isolates, from burn unit were studied. The bacteria isolates were including Staphylococcus spp. , Serratia spp. ,
Pseudomonas spp., Enterobacter spp., Acinetobacter. Spp. and Ochrobactrum anthropi. were studied. Antibacterial
activity of aqueous garlic extract and Crude Juice by cup plate method was characterized by inhibition zones of
diameter (14-34) mm for gram-positive bacteria and (14-32) mm for gram-negative bacteria respectively. The results of
the study of garlic extract both types of aqueous extract and crude juice in the degree of impact inhibition as results
showed that Crude Juice had a greater effect than aqueous extract effect.
