Abstract
The antimicrobial activity of methanolic extracts from different parts of 11 indigenous wild plant
species used in traditional medicines of Iran were tested against nine species of microorganisms: Escherichia
coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae,
Salmonella typhi, Bacillus subtilis, Aspergillus niger and Candida albicans. The antimicrobial efficacy was
determined using the disk diffusion (0.5, 1, 2 and 4 mg/disk) and minimal inhibition concentration (MIC)
method. Among the 11 tested herbs, 9 plants showed antimicrobial activity against one or more species of
microorganism. The most active antimicrobial plants were Stachys obtusicrena, Anvillea garcinii, Salvia
species, Otostegia persica and Teucrium persicum.
