Abstract:
In this study, the
antimicrobial activity of Myricaria germanica (L.) Desv.,
Centaurium erythraea Rafn subsp. turcicum (Velen.) Melderis,
Prunella vulgaris L., Pelargonium endlicherianum Fenzl.,
Chrysophthalmum montanum (DC) Boiss. and Jurinea
ancyrensis Bornm., were investigated. The antimicrobial activity
were evaluated according to the disk diffusion method by using
Bacillus megaterium DMS 32, Pseudomonas aeruginosa DMS 50071
SCOTTA, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Klebsiella pneumoniae
FMC 5, Proteus vulgaris FMC 1, Staphylococcus aureus COWAN
1 FMC 16, Candida albicans FMC 17, Candida glabrata ATCC
66032 and Candida tropicalis ATCC 13803.
In the end of experimental
studies, the extracts of six plants used in this study were inhibited
the growth of microorganisms used in the test at different ration. The
