Abstract
This study was conducted in the laboratory of the Department of Biology, Faculty of Sciences, and the Laboratory of Medical Techniques at the Higher Institute of Al'assabiea Science and Technology from November 2017 to April 2018. Some of the active compounds found in the leaves of Malva parviflora have been detected. The effect of aqueous and alcoholic extracts of the leaves of this plant was studied on three bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), Klebsiella spp. and Escherichia coli (E. coli). Disc diffusion, well diffusion, as well as serial dilution was used to evaluate the antibacterial effect of Malva parviflora against the target bacteria. Preliminary chemical detection results showed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids and saponins. The results also showed that the aqueous and alcoholic extracts of Malva parviflora leaves had no effect against all bacterial species targeted for the study.
