title: [The antistaphylococcal properties of plant extracts in relation to their prospective use as therapeutic and prophylactic formulations for the skin].
abstract: Antistaphylococcal activities of plant extracts (12 water alcohol glycerol, WAG, 6 water alcohol, WA, 8 alcohol glycerol, AG, extracts) towards reference strains and those isolated from patients with pyoinflammatory diseases of the skin were examined by diluting the preparations in solid media. The strains under study were 69 S. aureus, 44 S. epidermidis, and 2 S. saprophyticus ones. Fifteen plant extracts have shown antistaphylococcal activities. The most active were oak bark, sage and St. John's wort grass WAG extracts, horse radish root and leaf AG extracts, celandine grass WA extract; bur marigold and yarrow grass WA extracts were active towards S. aureus. S. aureus strains isolated from patients were found less sensitive to oak bark, German camomile flower WAG and celandine, bur marigold, and brewing waste WA extracts that the reference strains. S. epidermidis strains isolated from patients with acne rash were less sensitive to sweet flag rhizome WAG, celandine and brewing waste WA extracts that the reference strains. These data may be useful when developing compositions including plant extracts for patients with skin diseases.
