Abstract
The Silybum marianum was collected from ten different localities of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pakistan to investigate the effects of diverse environmental conditions on the antimicrobial profile and genetic diversity of the plant and to look into possible natural therapy. In antibacterial assay it was explored that the methanolic and n-hexane fractions of all the localities exhibited insignificant results, while the chloroform fraction showed profound results with inhibition percentage 58.8, 52.9 and 47.1 from Charsada, Karak and Bannu regions respectively against E. coli whereas the fractions from Bannu, Kohat and Lakimarwat showed 57.9%, 52.6% and 47.4% inhibition against Vibrio cholerae. The average percentage inhibition of the samples from Peshawar, North Waziristan, Abbottabad, Hangu and Lakimarwat was 45 percent against Shigella species. Moderate percentage of inhibition was noticed against Staphylococcus aureus by the fractions of Lakimarwat (42.1%), each 36.8 % for Waziristan and Abbottabad. No antifungal activity was showed by any fraction used. Using RAPP markers OPE7, the genetic diversity analysis results revealed two monomorphic bands of 600bp and 450bp for all the samples of Silybum marianum collected from different locations. All the bands observed have no differentiateable association with antibacterial and antifungal profiles. The bioactive fractions of the plants can be used against various microbial infections and can be further used for the isolation of potentials natural product for drug development.
