Study the Effect of Boiled Aqueous Extract of Trigonella foenum graceum on some Bacterial Species

The study includes the inhibitory effect of boiled aqueous extract of Trigonella foenum graceum seed on Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, and E. coli (In vitro) and on E. coli (In vivo).
Result revealed an inhibitory effect of the extract on all the bacteria. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of this extract on E. coli was shown to be 25 mg/ml and 50 mg/ml for each of Streptococcus pyogenes and Staphylococcus aureus.
Also an in vivo evaluation of the extract in healing of experimental inflection models was studied. Results showed that the extract had considerable impact in healing, E. coli wound infection within 17 days as compared with the control group in which gentamycin was used
