Abstract: In this study we evaluated the antibacterial activity of the crude hydroalcoholic extracts, fractions, and compounds of two plant species, namely Rosmarinus officinalis and Petroselinum crispum, against the bacteria that cause urinary tract infection. The microdilution method was used for determination of the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC). The crude hydroalcoholic extract of R. officinalis displayed in vitro activity against Gram-positive bacteria, with sat… Show more

“…The high antimicrobial activity of parsley, mainly against E. coli , can be associated with the high ferrous sequestering activity of methanol‐derived stem extracts (Wong and Kitts ; Petrolini et al . ). Parsley is known to be constituted by phenyl propanoids, furano coumarins, phthalides, tocopherol, various terpenoic compounds, ascorbic acid, coumarins and other compounds, some of which show antimicrobial activity (Tunali et al .…”

“…For instance, the antimicrobial activity of spinach can be attributed to the presence of antimicrobial peptides in spinach (Segura et al 1998), while essential oils are the main antimicrobial agents in the case of chard (Ponce et al 2003). The high antimicrobial activity of parsley, mainly against E. coli, can be associated with the high ferrous sequestering activity of methanol-derived stem extracts (Wong and Kitts 2006;Petrolini et al 2013). Parsley is known to be constituted by phenyl propanoids, furano coumarins, phthalides, tocopherol, various terpenoic compounds, ascorbic acid, coumarins and other compounds, some of which show antimicrobial activity (Tunali et al 1999;Yanarda g et al 2003).…”

“…Sideritis angustifolia is used to relieve the cramping that occurs commonly during menstruation, prepared alone or mixed with Sideritis foetens, in Spain (31). Rosmarinus officinalis has promising results in the case of urinary infections with Gram-positive bacteria and it is considerable alternative for the treatment of urinary infections (32). Cynodon dactylon possess antimicrobial, and antiviral activity and it has also been used to treat urinary tract infection, urinary calculi and prostatitis.…”

“…This has led to the search for alternative treatments, such as medicinal plants and fungi to counteract this resistance. The oils obtained from medicinal plants have shown to be a viable alternative since they exhibit bacteriostatic activity against Staphylococcus sp; likewise, hydroalcoholic extracts from leaves and stems of Rosmarinus officinalis L., Chenopodium ambrosioides L., Laurus nobilis and Tagetes minuta are bactericidal activity against Gram-positive (S. epidermidis, B. subtilis) and Gram-negative (E. coli) bacteria (Wang, Li, Luo, Zu, & Efferth, 2012;Petrolini et al, 2013;Chmit et al, 2014;Shirazi, Gholami, Kavoosi, Rowshan, & Tafsiry, 2014;Ye et al, 2015). Edible fungi such as Pleurotus ostreatus have shown anti-inflammatory and antibacterial activity, and a high nutritional value as food; however, most of the research has been based on the study of the fruiting body and not in extracts (Krishnamoorthy & Sankaran, 2014).…”
