Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical and Medical Research - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
At present, the raw extracts of plants begin to have a lot of interest as potential source of bioactive natural molecules. The objective of this study for their possible use as alternative for the management of infectious diseases. The aim of the study is to assess the antibacterial activity of extracts (chloroform (Chl), ethyl acetate (acet), ethanol (etoh), methanol (Met) and aqueous (aq) of Thymus willdenowii. The antibacterial activity was determined by the method of distribution in well towards ten bacterial strains (gram-positives and gram-négatives). The results obtained show that both extracts (EtOH) and (Chl) Thymus willdenowii possess an antibacterial activity on all the strains tested, but at high concentrations. By cons, other extracts (EtAc), (Met) and (Aq) were found inactive on all bacterial strains tested.
