The present study was carried out to examine anti-bacterial effects of garlic extract obtained from 7 diffirent solvents (distilled water, acid acetic 5%, ethanol 35%, ethanol 70%, methanol 70%, acetone 70%, acetone nitrile 70%) on E.coli (1 pathogenic strain E.coli O44 isolated from fecal samples of cholera infected chicken; E. coli strain Top 10 with plasmid: E.coli Top 10 pJET 1.2/blunt resistant to ampicillin and E. coli Top 10 pPS1 resistant to kanamycin). Results have identified that all 7 different garlic extracts had anti-bacterial effects against E coli. Garlic extracts obtained from acetonitrile 70%, acetic acid 5%, and 70% acetone) showed high anti-bacterial activity (inhibition zone diameters ≥ 20mm)
