Estimating the Effectiveness of Artemisia Herbalba Extract on Pathogenic Bacteria Isolated from Some patients of Zliten Medical Center
Keywords:
Artemisia, Antibacterial activity, Ethanol extract, Hexane extract, Propanol extract, Water extractAbstract
Due to the increasing rate of bacterial resistance, plants in general have become a primary source for exploring new antimicrobials. Historically and in modern healthcare, plants have served as a source of treatment for humans. One example is the Artemisia plant, which is known for its effective action against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria. The aim of this research was to investigate the antibacterial properties of Artemisia and its potential as an alternative to certain antibiotics that have become less effective against pathogenic bacteria. Four types of pathogenic bacteria, obtained and identified from Zliten Medical Center, were used in this study. The results demonstrated that ethanol, hexane, and propanol extracts of Artemisia, at varying concentrations, along with 100% water extract, exhibited significant antibacterial effects. Among these, the propanol extract showed the highest inhibitory effect against all tested bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Acinetobacter spp., and Klebsiella pneumonia. The largest inhibition zone was observed against Acinetobacter spp. using the propanol extract, followed by ethanol extract, which showed the highest inhibition against Escherichia coli. Hexane extract demonstrated inhibitory activity against Staphylococcus aureus, whereas the water extract exhibited the least effect against all tested bacterial strains. Thus, Artemisia is rich in active compounds capable of inhibiting both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, making it a strong candidate as an alternative to antibiotics.
