Abstract
The antimicrobial activity of aqueous extraction of green tea using well diffusion method at different concentration 2.5mg/ml, 5mg/ml, 10mg/ml, 20mg/ml and 40mg/ml) were tried against Staphylococcus auras and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The mean of four replication to inhibition zone around of each well with green tea, were measured The present study detected no inhibition zone at concentration 2.5 mg/ ml and 5mg/ml against Staphylococcus auras and Pseudomonas aeruginosa while inhibition zone at concentration 10mg/ml, 20 mg/ml and 40 mg/ml ) (12mm, 17mm and 21mm) respectively against Pseudomonas aeruginosa; (10mm, 17mm and 22mm) respectively against Staphylococcus auras. Conclusion of this study, the aqueous extraction of green tae high antimicrobial against pathogenic bacterial isolates.
