Phytochemical, antimicrobial and antioxidant assessment on Ononis pubescens

Abstract

Antimicrobial activity was tested against the selected strains from American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) and clinical isolates using minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) assay, while anti-oxidant activity was analyzed using the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging method.

Results:

The results showed remarkable potentials of antioxidant and antimicrobial activities.

Conclusion:

Our results showed that the studied plant has antioxidant and antimicrobial activity. Further studies are needed to identify and characterize these constituents.
