Effect of date extract on growth and hemolytic activity of Streptococcus pyogenes.
The effect of date extract on growth and hemolytic activity of S. pyogenes was examined. It was found that 5% DE caused 78 % growth inhibition. However, 20% DE inhibited the growth by 86%. 5% DE inhibited hemolysin and streptolysin O activities by 43% and 24% respectively,while 20% caused 95 and 91 %inhibition.
