Antibacterial effect of two plants used in remediation of Al-Sadr clinical city wastewater

Abstract

     Current study shows the efficiency of two types of aquatic plant, as extracts after used them in the phytoremediation of wastewater that taking from treatment plant Al-Sadr clinical city. These extracts included ceratophyllum demersum, leman monir with two concentrations (50000,150000mg/l) as antimicrobials to inhibitions five species of pathogenic antimicrobial-resistant bacteria, are Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and proteus mirabilis, that isolated from same wastewater treatment plant of Al-Sadr clinical city. The results showed that the high effectiveness of these extracts against these five species of bacteria, where the C. demersum extract recorded the highest inhibition diameter for bacteria S. aureus, E. faecalis and P. aeruginosa, P. mirabilis was (14,11,9,8mm) respectively, at concentration (150000mg/l), The plant that used in remediation of wastewater were more effective than those plants which grow in tub water (control) on bacteria growth. Results explain these extracts contain on the phytochemical compounds were had turn in increase inhibition diameters antimicrobials resistance bacteria including alkaloids, tannins, phenolics, saponins and flavonoids that acts as antioxidants were, in the C demersum treated recorded 21.52,14.07,44.60,12.58,19.31 respectively,
