Antimicrobial activities and cytotoxicity of Sisymbrium irio L extract against multi-drug resistant Bacteria (MDRB) and Candida albicans

The present study was conducted to evaluate antimicrobial and cytotoxicactivity of Sisymbrium irio L extract against MDRB (Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecium, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumanni, Enterobacter cloacae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and Candida albicans. Antibiotic sensitivity profile was performed using disc diffusion method. Cytotoxicity was measured against African Green Monkey Kidney (VERO) cell line using the colorimetric MTT assay.
