Comparison of Antibacterial Effect of Malva Sylvestris L.(Aerial and Root Organs) by MIC

Malva sylvestris belongs to Malvaceae family from which A great deal of (malvone A: 2-methony-5،6di hydroxyl-1،4naphthoquinone) anthocyanins and important natural pigments have been extracted. Anthocyanins and other substances of Malva sylvestris own antibacterial properties. In this study، antibacterial properties of Malva sylvestris were investigated on the 6 bacterial species (Pasteurella multosida، Listeria monocytogenes، Salmonella enterica، Escherichia coli، Staphylococcus aureus، Streptococcus agalactiae) via Hydro-alcoholic extract (arial and root organs) In this study، the anti-bacterial effects of alcoholic extract of Malva sylvestris was separately investigated according to which the most ani-bacterial effect belonged to the extract of the aerial parts on Pasteurella multosida (3/12(0/19mg/ml) %) and no effect was observed on Salmonella enteritidis. however antibiotics play an important role in human health،with the increasing occurrence of bacterial resistance against available antibiotics، it has now become essential to look for newer antibiotics.
