Aloe barbadensis Miller (Aloe vera) is a herbal remedy widely used for a variety of illnesses. A large number of biological activities have been ascribed to A.vera leaf extracts to explain its purported health benefits, including antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, lipid and glucose lowering, antiproliferative, immunostimulatory, and antioxidant functions. In the first part of our study, antimicrobial activity of A.vera inner gel was determined against a panel of Gram positive and negative bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213, S.epidermidis ATCC 35984, Escherichia coli ATCC 8739, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 9027) and Candida albicans ATCC 10231. In addiction, being A.vera inner gel used in the treatment of peptic ulcer and in the treatment of dermatological and wound healing, A.vera inner gel was tested on planktonic and sessile phase of clinical Helicobacter pylori strains (including multi-drug-resistant strains) and against S.aureus and P.aeruginosa clinical isolates from leg ulcers

Abstract
Aloe barbadensis Miller (Aloe vera) is a herbal remedy widely used for a variety of illnesses. A large number of biological activities have been ascribed to A.vera leaf extracts to explain its purported health benefits, including antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, lipid and glucose lowering, antiproliferative, immunostimulatory, and antioxidant functions. In the first part of our study, antimicrobial activity of A.vera inner gel was determined against a panel of Gram positive and negative bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213, S.epidermidis ATCC 35984, Escherichia coli ATCC 8739, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 9027) and Candida albicans ATCC 10231.
