Plantago ovata (isabgol) is a medicinal herb that has been used in traditional medicine for centuries. The goal of this study was to look into the antibacterial capabilities of ethanolic and methanolic extracts of plantago ovata seed husks. For this, the 50-200mg ml-1 concentrations of these extracts were tested against staphylococcus species using the disc diffusion method.Synthetic antibioticdiscs were used as control. The seed of plantago ovata were dried at roomtemperature for ten days and then were ground to a fine powder .then preparingtoextract10ml ofalcohol (ethanolormethanol) in1 gramsofplantpowder.Centrifuge for 3000 rpm for 15 minutes and collect to the supernant using filterpaper. The process was repeated three times. Prepare the MHA platestaphylococcus colony wereisolated. Then using disc method plant sample wastaken 50-200 µl disc was tipped in plant sample and place in a MHA plate, andcontrol is a tetracycline antibiotic, then incubate at 37®c for overnight. Afterincubation measure to the zone size in mm. With technological advancements, plantago ovata is being used as a dietary fibre supplement, majority laxative, and colon cancer care. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that these plants have an appropriate antimicrobial action and can be considered as a new source of antibiotic discovery and development for infectious disease treatment.
