Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus infection is a rather insidious disease. If tests have shown that Staphylococcus aureus is found on the skin, intestines, ears or nasopharynx, Treatment with pharmaceutical drugs extracted from medicinal plants can be a way to get rid of infection. Plants are considered the greatest source to obtain new antimicrobials. The present study aimed at evaluating the in vitro antimicrobial activity of methanolic extracts of Artemisia Judaica plant against Staphylococcus aureus Sp. and others pathogenic bacteria, these bacteria are commonly found in hospital-acquired infections. The methanolic extract of Artemisia Judaica effective against the isolates microorganisms, S. aureus, E. coli, P. aeruginosa, The diameter of zone of inhibition was found to be in the range of 14 – 30 mm against various bacterial strains tested, with maximum diameter against bacteria (S. aureus, 30 mm). The methanolic extract of Artemisia Judaica presented the highest anti-staphylococcus aureus activity and was effective against others bacterial strains tested.
