Abstract
Background: Salmonellosis is a common disease between animal and human. Food poisoning is mostly related to pathogen bacteria of the disease, ie salmonella typhimurium. Garlic has special anti- bacterial effects in herbal medicine. Objective: To study the effect of garlic extract to reduce the colonies of salmonella typhimurium. Methods: 78 female rabbits of Dutch- Polish type were divided into 13 groups of 6. 12 groups were infected by 3 concentrations of salmonella typhimurium (no:1186). 9 groups were orally treated by different concentrations of garlic extract. Rectal sampling were performed from all animals every day (Starting one day before infection & lasting for 7 days). The results were recorded. Findings: Treating the infected rabbits with different garlic dosages was successful & 40 mg/ kg dosage was considerably effective (P<0.001). Conclusion : Garlic chloroformic extract in correct dosage is effective on S.T.
