Biological studies of Cuminum cyminum plant on antibiotic resistant bacteria

Abstract

The study was carried  out to  assess the quantity of plants, Cuminum cyminum for  their microbial  effects.   The extracts were screened for their biological activities against bacterial pathogens including Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae. Results showed that inhibition zone and MIC for Cuminum cyminum seed and leaves the inhibition zone and MIC in all  extract It was  resistant to bacteria. However the antimicrobial activity of leaves and seeds Cuminum cyminum and extracts was higher than that of antibiotic used against the tested microorganisms.
