Allium hirtifolium is a Persian native plant grown in cool mountain slopes of Iran. It has been used as a spice in Iran for many years. According to the literature review, there are no considerable reports on the antimicrobial properties of this plant. In this study, the antimicrobial activity of Persian shallot hydroalcoholic extract and F1 fraction of the plant (containing amino acid derivatives and/or other cationic compounds) was investigated on some Gram positive cocci and bacilli, Gram negative bacilli, two protozoa, a yeast and a fungus. Excellent activity against Candida albicans (MIC = 64 microg/ml, MBC = 128 microg/ml), Leishmania infantum (MIC = 0.2 mg/ml on the first day of study) and Trichomonas vaginalis (MIC = 5 microg/ml in PSDE form) and a moderate activity against Bacillus spp and Pseudomonas aeroginosa (MIC = 128 microg/ml) was observed. The results showed that this plant contains some anti-trichomonas and anti-leishmania components.
糙叶葱是一种原产于波斯的植物,生长在伊朗凉爽的山坡上。多年来,它在伊朗一直被用作香料。根据文献综述,关于这种植物抗菌特性的报道并不多。在本研究中,对波斯葱水醇提取物及其F1组分(含有氨基酸衍生物和/或其他阳离子化合物)对一些革兰氏阳性球菌和杆菌、革兰氏阴性杆菌、两种原生动物、一种酵母和一种真菌的抗菌活性进行了研究。观察到其对白色念珠菌(MIC = 64微克/毫升,MBC = 128微克/毫升)、婴儿利什曼原虫(研究第一天的MIC = 0.2毫克/毫升)和阴道毛滴虫(PSDE形式下的MIC = 5微克/毫升)具有优异的活性,对芽孢杆菌属和铜绿假单胞菌具有中等活性(MIC = 128微克/毫升)。结果表明,这种植物含有一些抗滴虫和抗利什曼原虫的成分。
