Introduction

Garlic (Allium sativum Linn.), commonly used, possesses a comprehensive range of antimicrobial action. The main antimicrobial component as that Organo-sulfur compounds have antimicrobial actions such as microbicidal, anti-biofilm, anti-toxin, and anti-quorum sensing action against microbes. The reactive disulfide promises with free sulfhydryl collections of enzymes and cooperation the microbial membrane honesty. Multiple antimicrobial effects are outstanding in the outline for growing hooked on original antibiotics (1). Phenols and phenolic compounds have anti-quorum sensing potential and defeat the biofilm creation and toxin making. The antimicrobial, -quorum sensing, anti-biofilm, and anti-enterotoxin activities, distinct attention to microbes (2). Organic sulfides have numerous typical possessions of acids, such as chemical formula, physical form, pKa value, and molecular weight, that give minimum inhibitory concentration (3). Saponins inhibit microbe's growth and decrease microbial protein synthesis and flow efficiency (4). Polysaccharide allicin is a strong antimicrobial, shows toxic effects towards fungal cells, and inhibits spore incubation and hyphal development. It has been made to utilize this activity and develop allicin for medical treatment requests. They inhibit microbial growth by constraining the DNA and protein mixture partly lengthways with RNA reserve synthesis as the main target. They are carried out allicin to stop the RNA mixture by tricking the RNA peptides cable response and antimicrobial intensification (5). Alliin has enzymatically hydrolyzed to produce allyl sulfenic acid, which condenses spontaneously to allicin (6). S-allyl-cysteine activates inflammation reactions and increases destroy microbial cells (7). Diallyl sulfide, diallyl di-sulfide, and diallyl tri-sulfide block microbial quorum-sensing genes (8). Ajoene stops microbial growth by stopping the activity of cells (9). Garlic has main antimicrobial content, which is the main antimicrobial that destroys the structure and the metabolic process of microbial cells. Garlic inhibits the fungus by penetrating cell organelles, destroying the cell construction, then penetrating cell organelles, destroying the cell construction, then making the cytoplasm and macromolecules leak (10).

Garlic has antibacterial activities and s the development of Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Bacillus sp. Garlic extracts possess a potent bacteriostatic was affected Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Clostridium sp., Escherichia coli, Salmonella sp., and Shigella sp., by inhibited cell growth (11) . Garlic extract had antimicrobial action, so it affected Campylobacter jejune by stopping cell growth with increased immune cell activity (12) . Garlic-disrupted Candida sp., metabolism was related to the outline of key genes complicated in oxidative phosphor-rylation, the cell series, and protein dispensation in the endoplasmic net (13) . Garlic has a comprehensive range of antimicrobial and antifungal properties and repressed Aspergillus sp. growth (14) . Garlic extract had antifungal action, so it stopped the growth of Cryptococcus neoformans, and Saccharomyces services (15).

The Saudi garlic still using for food needed to be important for maintaining the health of the body, so Saudi garlic needed to be still one of the important plants with qualities to protect health from diseases. The goal was to test the health properties of Saudi garlic to eliminate gut pathogenic microbes. The method involved conducting a laboratory experiment using Saudi garlic.

Materials and Methods

Saudi garlic was purchased from the local market and peeled to prepare (cold, warm, hot, and boil) extracts (17) . The microbial isolates were Staphylococcus aureus, Shigella dysentery, Campylobacter jejune, Escherichia coli, Closterdium sp., Bacillus cereus, Salmonella enteritica, Candida sp., Aspergillus sp., Cryptococcus neoformans, and Saccharomyces cervices. They were isolated from cases of gastrointestinal infections and were diagnosed with micro-scans (17) . They were cultured on Mueller-Hinton agar and then on Mueller-Hinton broth (18) .

Three ml of microbial broth was placed in a sterile test bottle, and three ml of extract was placed. They were incubated for twenty-four and forty-eight hours. The incubated mixture was followed by "Filtration and Colony Forming Unit". The averages were obtained to make scores by a statistical method (19) .

Results

Table (1) and diagram (1) presented the filtration and colony-forming unit after extracts were contacted. The first score included Staphylococcus aureus, which was eliminated with the boil extract within twenty-four hours, and within forty-eight hours, it was eliminated with the hot extract. The second score included Shigella dysentery, Campylobacter jejuni, and Escherichia coli, which were eliminated within forty-eight hours by the hot and boiled extract. The third score included Closterdium sp., Bacillus cereus, and Salmonella enteritica was eliminated with the presence of some little colonies, which are considered very few, by the hot and boiled extract. Therefore, it was necessary to prolong the period of exposure to the extract to eliminate the pathogenic microbes infect digestive system completely. The fourth score included Candida sp., Aspergillus sp., Cryptococcus neoformans, and Saccharomyces services were partially eliminated.

Discussion

Table (1) and diagram (1) presented the filtration and colony-forming unit after extracts contacted. Saudi garlic is considered one of the important sources of natural substances that kill pathogenic microbes that affect the digestive system. Therefore, it is used in food in daily life. It is considered one of the important materials because it contains substances that kill the pathogenic microbes that affect the digestive system (1 , 10).

The results showed that pathogenic microbes infected the digestive system and were divided into four scores based on the extracts' effect. It turns out that the most powerful extract (hot and boiling) leads to the elimination of pathogenic microbes that infect the digestive system. As for the other extracts (cold and warm), they partially eliminated the pathogenic microbes that infect the digestive system, but not completely. This suggests that the extract contains a low percentage of active substances, and a longer exposure period may be necessary to eliminate the pathogenic microbes infecting the digestive system (1 , 10).

The first score included Staphylococcus aureus, which was eliminated with the boil extract within twenty-four hours, and within forty-eight hours, it was eliminated with the hot extract. The second score included Shigella dysentery, Campylobacter jejuni, and Escherichia coli, which were eliminated within forty-eight hours by the hot and boiled extract. The third score included Closterdium sp., Bacillus cereus, and Salmonella enteritica was eliminated with the presence of some little colonies, which are considered very few, by the hot and boiled extract. Therefore, it was necessary to prolong the period of exposure to the extract to that infect the digestive system. The fourth score included Candida sp., Aspergillus sp., Cryptococcus neoformans, and Saccharomyces services were partially eliminated. It must be exposed for a longer period to eliminate the pathogenic microbes that infect digestive system completely (11 , 15).

The results indicated the strength of the active ingredients in Saudi garlic that pathogenic microbes infecting the digestive system, which indicated their role in preventing and treating pathogenic microbial infections of the digestive system. Accuracy in using Saudi garlic must be taken according to the individuals' health condition to benefit without harm (1, 15).

Conclusion

It was decided that the active substances in Saudi garlic could eliminate pathogenic microbes that cause gastrointestinal infections.
