Objective:To evaluate the antibacterial activities of the crude leaves extracts of Zehneria scabra(Z.scabra) and Ricinus communis(R.communis) against Escherichia coli(E.coli).Staphylococcus aureus(S.aureus) and methicillin resistance 5.aureus.Methods:The crude powdered leaves of Z.scabra and R.communis were extracted successively by organic solvents in increasing polarity[benzene,chloroform:acetone(1:1),70%alcohol and distilled water].The antibacterial susceptibility of the crude leaves extracts of were tested against standard strains of E.coli(ATCC 25922) and S.aureus(ATCC 2923) and clinical isolates of E.coli,S.aureus and methicillin resistance 5.aureus using agar well diffusion method.Results:In Z.scabra and R.communis leaf extracts,the most sensitive standard strain was S.aureus with an inhibition zone of(14.00±1.20) mm and(15.90±2.13) mm,respectively.The minimum inhibitory concentration(MIC) values of Z.scabra extracts against test organisms ranged from 1.95mg/mL for extract 3 in clinical and standard strains of 5.aureus to 250 mg/mL for extract 1 and 4in clinical and standard strains of E.coli.The MIC values of R.communis extracts against test organisms ranged from 1.95 mg/mL for extract 2 and 3 standard strains of S.aureus to 250 mg/mL for extract 1 in clinical isolate of E.coli.Most of the minimum bactericidal concentration and MIC values of plant extracts were almost similar particularly in R.communis,or minimum bactericidal concentration equal to one dilution factor less than MIC value of the extracts mainly in Z.scabra.Conclusions:The potency of plant extracts against test organisms were depend on different organic solvents used.Clinical isolate of bacterial pathogens showed less zones of diameter compared to the standard strains.Gram-positive had wide inhibition zones than Gram-negative bacteria.Further studies should be carried out to isolate the pure compounds and standardization of the methods of plant extracts for an in vitro testing. Objective: To evaluate the antibacterial activities of the crude leaves extracts of Zehneria scabra (Z. scabra) and Ricinus communis (R.communis) against Escherichia coli (E.coli) .Staphylococcus aureus (S.aureus) and methicillin resistance . Methods: The crude powdered leaves of Z. scabra and R.communis were extracted successively by organic solvents in increasing polarity [benzene, chloroform: acetone (1: 1), 70% alcohol and distilled water]. The antibacterial susceptibility of the crude leaves extracts of were tested against standard strains of E. coli (ATCC 25922) and S. aureus (ATCC 2923) and clinical isolates of E. coli, S. aureus and methicillin resistance 5. aureus using agar well diffusion method. Results: In Z. scabra and R. communis leaf extracts, the most sensitive standard strain was S. aureus with an inhibition zone of (14.00 ± 1.20) mm and (15.90 ± 2.13) mm, respectively.The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values ​​of Z .scabra extracts against test organisms ranged from 1.95 mg / mL for extract 3 i n clinical and standard strains of 5. aureus to 250 mg / mL for extract 1 and 4 in clinical and standard strains of E. coli. MIC values ​​of R.communisabit extracts against test organisms ranged from 1.95 mg / mL for extract 2 and 3 standard strain of S. aureus to 250 mg / mL for extract 1 in clinical isolate of E. coli. Most of the minimum bactericidal concentration and MIC values ​​of plant extracts were almost no more particularly in R.communis, or minimum bactericidal concentration equal to one dilution factor less than MIC value of the extracts mainly in Z. scabra.Conclusions: The potency of plant extracts against test organisms were depend on different organic solvents used. Clinical isolate of bacterial pathogens showed less zones of diameter compared to the standard strain .Gram -positive had wide inhibition zones than Gram-negative bacteria. Future studies should be carried out to isolate the pure compounds and standardization of the methods of plant extracts for an in vitro testing.
