The effect of hot aqueous extract of flax seeds and fenugreek seeds against bacteria that isolated from mouth of smoking people

Abstract

Research was done to check anti- bacterial activity of hot water extract of flax seeds and fenugreek seeds against bacteria that isolated from mouths of smoking people by using holes method on nutrient agar. Extracts was prepared of seeds of plants that studying in stoke then bacteria that isolated from mouth of different people in different age categories and smokers (UN brush teeth regularly). Some species of bacteria were diagnosis in this experiment which were (Pseudomonas spp. Staphelococcus and Streptococcus spp.) this experiment were measured the diameter of inhibition zone around the holes in petri dishes. Both extracts of Flax and Fenugreek seeds showed an antibacterial activity against bacteria in study, also the Fenugreek seeds extract present more effective than Flax seeds extract on bacteria.
