Antibacterial Activity Of Zilla Macroptera Extracts From Algerian Sahara

The study reported the antibacterial activity of extracts from aerial parts (without fruits) of Zilla macroptera (Brassicaceae) against seven bacterial strains (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aereginosa, Enterococcus faecalis, Listeria monocytogenes, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Bacillus stearothermophilus and Staphylococcus aureus) chosen for their high pathogenicity, shows that the strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was the most sensitive to the majority of extracts. The antibacterial activity of the ethanol extract is more important compared to other extracts.
