Abstract

This Study aimed to investigate the effect of garlic extract against multidrug resistance of
Staphylococcus aureus and E. coli isolated from urine. Isolates were identified by using
biochemical tests. The susceptibility of these microorganisms towards the most effective
antibiotics were studied by using disc diffusion method. The multidrug resistance
microorganisms were challenged with garlic extract using serial dilutions and the technology of
ELISA spectrophotometer. The results of this study showed that ten isolates of E. coli and eight
isolates of Staphylococcus aureus out of sixty isolates were resistant to all antibiotics. Garlic
extract significantly inhibits the growth of these bacteria in a concentration independent manner.
This study showed that garlic extract exerts a promising antibacterial effect against multidrug
resistance of Staphylococcus aureus and E. coli.
