This study was undertaken to investigate and assess the potentiality of some plant materials (tomato and faba bean) as sources of nutrient for cultivation of bacteria. The pH values of these plant extracts were determined and adjusted to 7.4. Tomato and faba bean (dry and soaked) were used as culture media for Kiebsiella sp. and Staphylococcus aureus.
Viable counts of Klebsielia sp. on different plant extracts were similar to that on the nutrient agar (control). Culture medium prepared from tomato extract supported growth of Staphylococcus sp. where the faba bean medium was unable to support the growth of this organism.
