Effect of some plant extracts on the Pyocyanin Production from Pseudomonas Aeruginosa which Isolated from clinical samples

Abstract

Abstract. In this study, the effect of some plant extracts on the production of the Pyocyanin dye from the bacteria of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was known. This study included the use of two types of plants, ginger and ginkgo. These two plants were extracted in a waterway by the Sxolite apparatus. The raw extract of these plants was used, and several concentrations were made of it 20%, 40% and 80%, after which the Pyocyanin concentration was measured. After adding these extracts, the results showed that there were significant differences in the decrease in the production of the Piocyanin dye compared to the control by the bacteria. The decrease in the production varied according to the concentration, and the 80% concentration gave better results. The decrease in dye production compared to the rest of the treatments and compared to control.
