In recent years, the usage of plant

In recent years, the usage of plant materials as food supplement and as alternative
medicine has increased. Medicinal herbs are a rich source of antimic
robial agents.
In this investigation, antimicrobial effects of leaf methanol and
ethanol
extracts of
Artemisia annua
against
Staphylococcus aureus
PTCC 1431,
Salmonella enterica
PTCC 1231,
Klebsiella pneumonia
PTCC 1053,
Shigella dysenteriae
PTCC 1188
and
Escherichia coli
PTCC 1399 were studied, using well diffusion method.
Methanol and ethanol extracts obtained from leaves of
A. annua
exhibited
antimicrobial activity against test microorganisms.
The methanol extract of
A.
annua
showed high inhibition of th
e growth of
S. aureus
PTCC
1431,
S. enterica
PTCC 1231
with
inhibitory, 16.5 and 15.5 mm,
with average 13.7 mm. The
results indicate the fact that extracts of
