Abstract

Background: Diarrheal disease is common among children worldwide, especially in developing countries.

Aims of study: To Test the inhibitory effectiveness of aqueous and alcoholic Eugenia caryophllata extracts on E.coli which were isolated from young children under five years with diarrhea.

 Materials & Methods: One hundred samples were collected from children with diarrhea under five years. 75 isolates of E.coli were isolated and diagnosed based on their phenotypic properities and biochemical tests.

Results and Discussio: The results of the susceptibility test to 13 types of antibiotics using the disc diffusion method showed a variation in the level of resistance to the different antibiotics, and it was found that the most effective antibiotics were Imipenem and Nitrofurantoin. The study used aqueous and alcoholic extracts of Eugenia caryophllata seeds and was tested for their ability to inhibit the growth of E. coli
