Antibacterial activity of Gardenia jasminoides Ellis leaves extracts on bacteria isolated from burns infected

This study provides scientific information about the aqueous and methanol extracts of Gardenia jasminoides Ellis leaves based on its antimicrobial potential against gram positive and gram negative bacteria isolated From burns infection using the broth dilution and disc diffusion method. Results of this study indicate the presence of many phytochemicals which have antimicrobial activity against broad spectrum of bacteria.The methanol extract of G. jasminoides showed highest activity than aqueous ones . The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC)of the aqueous extract on the tested organisms was25_100mg/ml while in the methanol extract ranged between 25_50mg/ml on the tested organisms and the minimum bacterial concentration (MBC) of the aqueous extract was 25-200 mg/ml while the methanol extract ranged between 25-100 mg/ml. Essential element (Pb, Na, K, Ca, Fe, Zn, P, Mn, Co and Cu) at different concentration. The result of this study demonstrate that G.jasminoides constituent revealed that this plant have antimicrobial activity against test organism and this may be suggest the use at this extract in treatment of infectious disease
