Inhibition Effect of Water and Alcohol Extracts of Cinnamomun zeylanicam (Cinnamomun Plant) and Zingiber offcinale (Ginger Plant) in the Growth and Efficacy of Some Microorganisms
A test was done to see if the medicinal herbs ginger and cinnamon would stop Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli from growing when their water and alcohol extracts were applied, additionally examined the bacterial isolates’ susceptibility to the medicines ampicillin and amoxicillin. To identify the concentrations in which the bacteria displayed their development, gradient concentrations of each plant extract were utilised, which yielded vitality almost equivalent to the control group. The alcoholic extracts had less activity in comparison with aqueous extracts of both plants improved activity in reducing bacterial growth at concentrations of (15, 25, 35) and (5, 15, 25%), respectively. Amoxicillin also demonstrated a clear inhibitory effect on E. coli at a concentration of 0.05 ml, while P. aeruginosa demonstrated a wide antibody resistance. Two bacterial isolates did not respond to ampicillin in any way.
