Abstract:
In this study, the antimicrobial activity of Asparagus acutifolius, called "Tilkisen" and used in the treatment of diseases, was investigated in and around Aydin. The ethanol extracts obtained from fresh shoot tips and stems of A. acutifolius were tested against 45 bacteria and 3 fungi strains by the disk diffusion method. As a result of the study, it was determined that the ethanol extracts had antimicrobial activity against various strains tested, especially against S. mutans (Clinic isolated), S. aureus MRSA, S. aureus MRSA+MDR, S. epidermidis DSMZ 20044, S. aureus ATCC 25923, and L. monocytogenes ATCC 7644 strains.
