1. A method for killing or inhibiting the growth of a Gram positive bacterium while preventing desiccation of a wound, comprising:
preparing by:
grinding a sample consisting of dried leaves of a Eruca sativa plant,
macerating the ground leaves of the Eruca sativa plant with an extractant consisting of water to extract the leaves of the Eruca sativa plant for a period of days at a temperature of about 25° C. to extract water-soluble components from the leaves of the Eruca sativa plant then filtering to form a first extract,
concentrating the first extract under vacuum to produce the aqueous Eruca sativa extract in the form of a thick concentrated extract liquid, then
dispensing an aqueous composition comprising the thick concentrated extract liquid from a dispenser in the form of a foam,

contacting the Gram positive bacterium with the foam to inhibit the growth of the Gram positive bacterium while preventing desiccation of the wound, wherein the aqueous composition inhibits the growth or kills Cellulomonas strain B22.
