ABSTRACT
idely used in traditional medicine. In this study antimicrobial effect of hydroalcoholic extract of Juglansregia was evaluated on four different bacteria, Salmonella bongori, Bacillus subtilis, E. Coli and P. aeruginosa. Antimicrobial effect of the hydroalcoholic extract, ciprofloxacin was evaluated using the well diffusion method by assessing the diameter of the growth inhibition zone of the extract were determined for the above-mentioned bacteria. Hydroalcoholic extract of Juglansregiahad inhibitory effects on the proliferation of all four bacterial strains with maximum effect. The largest growth inhibition zone diameter belonged to Bacillus subtilis and the smallest to P. aeruginosa. Ciprofloxacin had the greatest inhibitory effect on Salmonella bongori. Hydroalcoholic extract of Juglansregia had a significant antibacterial effect on bacterial pathogens and appears to be a potent antimicrobial agents that could be considered as a medicinal plant.
