Preferred Abstract (Original): 

Objective: To evaluate the possible in vitro interaction between ethanolic extracts of Rhus coriaria (R. coriaria) (seed), Sacropoterium spinosum (S. spinosum) (seed), Rosa damascena (R.damascene) (flower) and certain known antimicrobial drugs including oxytetracycline HCl,pweansi ccialrlirnie Gd ,o cuetp ahgaaleinxsint ,3 s ucllfiandicimale sthtroaxiinnse oafs msoudltiiudmru, ga-nrde seinstraonflto xPasceiund. oTmhoisn assy naeerrguyg sintuodsay (P. aeruginosa).
Methods: Evaluation of synergy interaction between plant extracts and antimicrobial agents was carried out using microdilution method.

Conclusions: These results may indicate that combinations between R. coriaria extract and these antibiotics could be useful in fighting emerging drug-resistance P. aeruginosa, which may due to that R. coriaria extract contain natural iunnhdiebriwtoarys wleoardkiinngg tboy t hdeif fiedreenntti fmiceacthioann iosfm tsh eo ra icnthivieb imtinogle ecfuflluesx ppruemsepnst.
