Ethanolic and aqueous extracts of 20 Palestinian plant species used in folk medicine were investigated for their antimicrobial activities against five bacterial species (Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus vulgaris, Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and one yeast (Candida albicans). The plants showed 90% of antimicrobial activity, with significant difference in activity between the different plants. The most antimicrobially active plants were Phagnalon rupestre and Micromeria nervosa, whereas, the least active plant was Ziziphus spina-christi. Only ten of the tested plant extracts were active against C. albicans, with the most active from M. nervosa and Inula viscosa and the least active from Ruscus aculeatus. Of all extracts the ethanolic extract of M. nervosa was the most active, whereas, the aqueous extract of Phagnalon rupestre was the most active of all aqueous extracts tested. The ethanolic extracts (70%) showed activity against both Gram positive and negative bacteria and 40% of these extracts showed anticandidal activity, whereas, 50% of the aqueous extracts showed antibacterial activity and 20% of these extracts showed anticandidal activity.
对20种巴勒斯坦民间药用植物的乙醇提取物和水提取物针对五种细菌（金黄色葡萄球菌、大肠杆菌、肺炎克雷伯菌、普通变形杆菌、铜绿假单胞菌）和一种酵母（白色念珠菌）的抗菌活性进行了研究。这些植物显示出90%的抗菌活性，不同植物之间的活性存在显著差异。抗菌活性最强的植物是岩生绢蒿和具脉石蚕叶薄荷，而活性最弱的植物是枣椰树。仅10种受试植物提取物对白色念珠菌有活性，其中具脉石蚕叶薄荷和粘毛旋覆花的提取物活性最强，刺叶假叶树的提取物活性最弱。在所有提取物中，具脉石蚕叶薄荷的乙醇提取物活性最强，而在所有受试水提取物中，岩生绢蒿的水提取物活性最强。乙醇提取物（70%）对革兰氏阳性菌和阴性菌均有活性，其中40%的提取物具有抗念珠菌活性，而50%的水提取物具有抗菌活性，其中20%的提取物具有抗念珠菌活性。
