Abstract
The effect of alcoholic and aquatic extracts of Zingiber officinale and essential oils was done against isolates of E. coli. Alcoholic and aquatic extracts were present inhibitory effectiveness against E. coli The range of diameter area was between (16-18) mm at diameter area was between (16-18) mm at concentration of 400 mg/ml. Essential oils Present inhibitory effectiveness ranging diameter area between (20-24) mm at concentration of 250mg/ml. The minimal inhibitory concentration MIC of essential oils ranges (250 - 400) mg/ml. Also, the study showed that the effect of extracts had approximation for the effect of antibiotics such as: Tetracycline, Erythromycin Kanamycin and Amoxicillin.
