Analysis of the functional activity of plants with known antibacterial and neurotropic properties
Abstract
The degree of biological activity of aqueous and alcoholic extracts of medicinal plants on strains of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli was assessed. The raw materials of medicinal plants from the pharmacy network and growing in natural plant communities of the North Caucasus (mountainous regions of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania, Upper Tsey gorge) were used. The degree of antibacterial activity of the tested substances was determined by the standardized Kerby-Bauer method. High antibacterial activity of extracts of common thyme, common garlic, coltsfoot and rod-shaped eucalyptus against Staphylococcus aureus was established. The Escherichia coli culture turned out to be resistant to almost all tested substances (no growth retardation, or low sensitivity). The results of the comparative analysis of the antibacterial activity of the tested medicinal plants revealed more significant biological activity of raw materials of medicinal plants from natural plant communities of the North Caucasus.
