Abstract
The antibacterial effect of raw, aqueous and ethanolic extracts of Allium sativum (garlic), Zingiber officinale (ginger) and Moringa oleifera (drumstick tree) on Salmonella typhi isolate, was investigated using the agar well diffusion method. The result of the study showed that raw Allium sativum and ethanolic extracts of Allium sativum and Zingiber officinale have inhibitory activity against the test organism. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) ranged from 0.05-0.1g/ml(ml/ml). The inhibition zone diameter produced by the combinations of raw Allium sativum and Zingiber officinale as well as their ethanolic extracts were not enhanced, compared with their single activities against the test organism. Further exploitation of these two plant materials is hereby emphasized.
