Evaluation of Antibacterial Activity of Water and AlcoholicExtracts of Coriandrum Sutivum (Fruit)

Abstract

Aqueous and alcoholic extract of Coriandrum sativum (Fruit) were evaluated against pathogenic bacteria. Results showed that the IMIC] of aqueous extract for these pathogenic bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumonia, Pseudomonas auer and E. coli) ranged between (8192-16384) lglml while MIC of alcoholic extract for above pathogenic bacteria ranged between (4096-16334) ng/ml. There is no significant difference between the two extracts effectives
