Amygdalus eburnea Spach. (Rosaceae family) is a perennial herb that has been valued for its important biological perspectives and it has been used to treat the burn. In this study, antimicrobial activity of A. eburnea extract was investigated against some most common bacteria in burning. Antimicrobial effects of A. eburnea was performed using Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) methods on Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 2523), Staphylococcus epidermidis (ATCC 1435), and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 25923). Results demonstrated that both aqueous and menthanolic extract of A. eburnea at all concentration had antibacterial activity against the tested microorganisms from week to potent with the MIC ranging from 1.33 to 9.33 mg/mL and 3.33 to 16 mg/mL, respectively. To conclude, the present study showed that the extract from the A. eburnean were found to be more active against Gram-positive bacteria as an available and inexpensive herb possesses wound healing activity, and thus provided the evidence for its traditional use value and it is suitable substitute in healing of burn wounds.
