Abstract:

The study included the inhibition effect of mastic gum resins of Pistacia lentiscus L. on some Salmonella spp. isolated from stool, blood and urine samples. The (oil alcohol rating, Ether, petroleum ether, chloroform, residual alcohol) of mastic gum resins of Pistacia lentiscus L. were investigated for their antibacterial activity against clinical species: Salmonella typhi, Salmonella paratyphi A and Salmonella typhimurium using disc diffusion and micro dilution assay. All extracts showed antibacterial activity against most tested Salmonella Spp. The oil alcohol rating exhibited antibacterial activity in all concentrations except (250), (15.75) Mg\ cm, but the ether and residual alcohol effect in all concentrations except (15.75) Mg\cm and the Petroleum ether was effect in all concentrations but the chloroform effect on (65.5) and (31.25) Mg\ cm on Salmonella typhi. All extracts showed antibacterial activity against most tested S. paratyphi A. The oil alcohol rating exhibited antibacterial activity in all concentrations except (15.75) Mg\cm, but the ether effect in all concentrations and the petroleum ether was effect in all concentrations except (250), (15.75) but the Chloroform effect on (62.5) and (31.75) Mg\ cm and residual alcohol effect on all concentrations except (15.75) Mg\ cm. About the S. typhimurium the oil alcohol rating was effect on all concentrations except (15.75) Mg\ cm, the ether was effect in all, petroleum ether effect in (125) (62.5) (31.25) Mg\ cm and chloroform was effect on (62.5) (31.25) Mg\cm, residual alcohol effect in all except 15.75) Mg\cm.
