| Abstract | ||
| Acinetobacter baumannii bacteria are considered one of the most nosocomial types of bacteria that infect the human body. Their treatment has become difficult due to their resistance to known antibiotics nowadays. So, to investigate the possibility of finding and extracting fatty acids from different plants and using them as an alternative to antibiotics. The oils of three types of plants (Rosmarinus officinalis, Zingiber officinale, and Boswellia Serrata) were extracted using the Soxhlet device to obtain crude oil. The quantitative and qualitative detection and diagnosis of these fatty acids in these plants were also carried out using the HPLC device. Therefore, the results showed that there is a disparity in the value of inhibition for Acinetobacter baumannii bacteria, as it was found that the low concentrations of fatty acids for each of Rosmarinus officinalis and Zingiber officinale plants gave the highest inhibition values for bacteria, which were at 12.5 mg. However, giving fatty acids to the Boswellia Serrata plant the highest inhibitory value with concentrations (50 and 100 mg. It can be concluded from this paper that there is the possibility of replacing plant extracts and using them as an antibiotic instead of using current anti-life. | ||
