“…Our results showed inhibitory activity in the aqueous extract for Pistacia atlantica against plant pathogenic bacteria Erwinia carotovora, the diameters of the inhibition zone was 7.67, 10, 10.67 and 12 mm for concentrations of 20, 40, 80, 100% respectively, and this corresponds with some of the previous research [42,43]. The antibacterial activity of the extracts of P. atlantica may be due to the presence of certain antimicrobial secondary metabolite, the leaf extract is rich in phenol compounds which have a high level of antibacterial properties against plant pathogens [44,45].…”

Many medicinal plants, exhibit allelopathy to biological management of plant pathogens by reducing their regeneration. This process involving secondary metabolites produced by plant influence the growth and development of agricultural and biological system. This research was to determine the allelopathic potential of aqueous extracts of different medicinal species (Artemisia herba alba, Pistacia atlantica and Juniperus phoenicea) against plant pathogenic bacteria (Erwinia carotovora subsp. Carotovora) in comparison to the antibiotic Streptomycin (positive control). Effect of water extracts evaluated for different concentrations of different extracts for each plant studied was examined under laboratory conditions in petri dishes. The results showed that all the extracts significantly inhibited growth of tested bacteria. The differences in their inhibition depend on to the type of plant and concentration of extract. However, Artemisia herba alba extracts had greater inhibitory potential. Based on the study results, aqueous extracts of three plant species (A. herba alba, P. atlantica and J. phoenicea) showed a negative allelopathic effects on plant pathogenic bacteria (Erwinia carotovora subsp. Carotovora).

“…These plants were: Moringa peregrina, Pistacia atlantica, Eucalyptus camaldulensis, Acacia cyanophylla and Ceratonia silique. These plants were selected due to their potential as antiviral agents since their antimicrobial activities have been reported (Cimanga et al, 2002;Kivack et al, 2002;Ayeb-Zakhama et al, 2015;Roozegar et al, 2016). Moreover, these plants are distributed worldwide.…”

Newcastle Disease (ND) is a highly contagious viral disease that has a tremendous negative impact on the poultry industry worldwide. Plant extracts were prepared from five different medicinal plants and applied against Newcastle Disease Virus (NDV) to evaluate the antiviral replication in Specific Pathogen-Free (SPF) chicken embryos. Three dilutions from each plant extract were prepared and mixed with a fixed titer (10 4 EID 50 /mL) of virulent NDV strain Herts 33. The mix was inoculated into nine-day-old SPF chicken embryos that were monitored for five days. Real-time PCR and hemagglutination tests were conducted to evaluate the activity of NDV and its viral RNA titer. Some plant extracts showed a complete inhibition of NDV evidenced by the absence of embryo deaths, the absence of HA titer and viral RNA in the allantoic fluid. These plant extracts were from Moringa peregrina (leaves), Acacia cyanophylla (leaves), Eucalyptus camaldulensis (fruits) and Pistacia atlantica (leaves and stems). Other plant extracts showed partial inhibition of NDV, such as Ceratonia siliqua (leaves) and Eucalyptus camaldulensis (leaves). This experiment shows the potential of using medicinal plants as antiviral agents.

“…Following the same criteria cited earlier (MIC  100 μg/mL and r=1) and establishing the best products reported in literature, Glycyrrhiza uralensis deglycyrrhizinated licorice root extract (Ahn et al, 2012), Mikania glomerate ent-Kaurenoic acid-rich extract (Moreira et al, 2016b), Ipomoea alba chloroform fraction (Silva et al, 2014), and Pistacia atlantica aqueous extract (Roozegar et al, 2016) showed the best results. Considering isolated substances and criteria established here, only saponin class showed important results.…”

Oral diseases represent a major public health problem, especially for economically marginalized communities with limited access to health services. In addition, the constant increase in bacterial resistance to many of the antibiotics contributes to worsen the problem. In this context, great importance had been given to natural compounds for the discovery of new drugs that contribute to the prevention and control of oral affection. The present study proposed a systematic review of articles that used the techniques of agar diffusion and broth dilution to measure the efficiency of plant samples against Streptococcus mutans, one of the main agents involved in the development of dental cavities. Families and plant species most used in the study, the concentration and polarity measurements of the samples used in the tests, the disk and well variants in the agar diffusion technique, as well as the most outstanding results presented by the articles are reported. The review highlights the bacteriostatic effect of natural products against S. mutans and strengthened parameters that could validate the best strategy for the identification of natural products with antimicrobial action, having as object the S. mutans. The agar diffusion test should not be neglected as screening test but scientific measurements should be taken into consideration to obtain plant extracts which are likely to undergo clinical usage against S. mutans.
