Abstract
Background and Aim: Today, plant extracts and their components are known for their biological activities, especially antibacterial and antioxidant properties. Due to the biological diversity of plant species in Kurdistan Province and the difference in the medicinal properties of plants depending in different geographical locations, the antibacterial and antioxidant properties of some native plants in this province were investigated. In this study, besides restoring antibiotic sensitivity in pathogenic bacteria, they can also be used as natural preservatives. Materials and Methods: The present study was of experimental type and after purchasing some medicinal plants from herbal pharmacies in Kurdistan Province, their medicinal properties were first investigated using aqueous extraction method, then by diffusion method in the well, as well as the MIC and MBC methods, by using 96-well microplates. The antibacterial activities of the aqueous extracts against Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative Escherichia coli bacteria were determined, and the DPPH method was used to evaluated the antioxidant properties. ANOVA and descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data. p<0.05 was considered significant. Results: In this study many plants had high antibacterial and antioxidant properties. Mentha longifolia L and Capillus Veneris Ladiantum plant extracts had the highest and lowest antibacterial effects against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, respectively. Also plant extracts of Capillus veneris ladiantum and Stachys lavandulifolia vahl had the highest (81.75) and lowest(16.71) radical inhibition percentages respectively. Conclusion: Most of the extracts of the native plants of Kurdistan Province showed significant antioxidant and antibacterial activities, which can be used in the production of medicinal plants and various types of green disinfectants that have the least environmental effects.
