| Popis: | Introduction: Due to more resistance of pathogenic bacteria to new and current antibiotics researchers are looking to find the agents of herbal with antimicrobial activities in order to replace chemical drugs. Methods: The herbal extract of Withani somnifera was done by using a rotary vacuum, 20 strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa were isolated from urinary infections hospitalized patients in city of Zabol hospital. The MIC Withani somnifera were determined by dilution method in various concentrations. Sensitivity of strains to multiple antibiotics was evaluated by standard disk diffusion Kirby-Bauer. Results: The result showed that P. aeruginosa were resistance to 4 of the agents including ampicillin (85%), nitrofurantoin (65%), nalidixic acid (65%), ciprofloxacin (15%) and for 5 strains of Pseudomonas showed MIC with activity of 100 ppm. Conclusion: This study has suggested the effect of winter cherry extract on P. aeruginosa in the in vitro assay. It s effectiveness of on in vivo system can be examined in future. |
