Abstract
This study examined the effect of Zingiber officinale (ginger) extract on methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and on Streptococcus pyogenes. Extracts were prepared using three organic solvents (chloroform, methanol and hexane). Four concentrations of each extract were tested (25, 50, 75 and 100%). A comparison effect with nine commercial antibiotics on these bacteria was also investigated. The results showed that extracts of chloroform and methanol possess a higher inhibitory effect on MRSA than that of tested antibiotics. The study also showed the effect of methanol extract on Streptococcus pyogenes but not from hexane extract on both tested bacteria. The active groups present in the ginger extracts were detected by IR.
