THE EFFECT OF THE FRESH PEEL EXTRACT PISTACHIO (PISTACIA ATLANTICA) ON THE GROWTH OF STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS, STREPTOCOCCUS PYOGENES AND BACILLUS CEREUS ISOLATED FROM CLINICAL SPECIMENS IN VITRO

Nowadays, there are some undesirable side effects of synthetic drugs, the use of
herbal medicines have been widely used as a treatment. New skin extract and pistachio on the above
mentioned bacterial infection is more local. The aim of study was to evaluate the effects of antibacterial
extract (methanol) prepared from fresh skin pistachios on Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus
aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, Bacillus cereus) isolated from clinical samples.
Materials & Methods: Clinical samples were collected from medical diagnostic laboratories then
bacterial suspension was prepared equivalent to the 0.5 McFarland standard and then were re-planted to
screen the antimicrobial activity of the extract hole method, disc diffusion and microdilution broth
macrodilution was used to determine the minimum concentration (dilution) inhibitors and fatal ([2] MIC
and [3] MBC) in conditions (in vitro) were to be evaluated.
Results: The extract effect on Streptococcus pyogenes compared to other bacteria than antibiotics
amikacin, clindamycin, cefixime have the greatest impact. Due to the size of the diameter of inhibition
Sensitivity have the more impact as follows: Streptococcus pyogenes, Staphylococcus aureus and
Bacillus cereusis was the most effective one. The results of the MIC of the extract on bacteria was
reported as in broth macrodilution method of μl/ml 16.1 and its MBC μl/ml 32.2.
Conclusion: The above extracts are quite effective on bacteria and it is strongly recommended to use
these plant compounds to improve skin bacterial infections, especially in burns and food poisoning
caused by bacillus cereus
