Some curative plants have been picked to screen their inhibitory activity against seven bacterial isolates commonly associated with the upper respiratory tract infections. The plant’s extractors, in the concentration of 100 μg/ml have been examined. Acacia nilotica ssp. nilotica , Psiduim guagava , and Eucalyptus camaldulensis were the most effective plants. Maximum activity of plant extracts was observed on Staphylococcus aureus , Escherichia coli , and Pseudomonas aeruginosa . In contrast to the reference antibiotics, Acacia nilotica ssp. nilotica showed a vast spectrum of antibacterial effectiveness and it was present distinctly excellent. These findings should stimulate the search for novel, natural products as antibacterial agents.
