Abstract: | Antibacterial and antifungal activities of aqueous, ethanol and ethyl acetate extract of Torilis anthriscus (L.) Gmel. (Apiaceae) were tested in vitro against ten species of bacteria and five of fungi. Antimicrobial properties were determined by disk diffusion and broth tube
dilution method. In the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs), the ethanol extract showed the highest activity, followed
by the ethyl acetate extract and the aqueous extract against bacterial species, while the extracts were inactive against the
tested fungi species. The most active extract was chosen to examine the effects of its combinations with commercial antibiotics
by checkerboard method. The obtained results showed that the interactions between ethanol extract/streptomycin and ethanol
extract/chloramphenicol were additive and indifferent against the tested human-pathogenic bacteria. Synergism and antagonism
were not observed. |
