Abstract:
In recent years, researchers tend to search for biologically active compounds against pathogenic microorganisms isolated from plant species due to the resistance of microorganisms to antibiotics. In this study in vitro antimicrobial activity of ethanol extract of endemic species Galanthus trojanus was investigated against Bacillus subtilis DSMZ 1971, Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212, Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 7644, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Staphylococcus epidermis DSMZ 20044, Staphylococcus hominis ATCC 27844, Staphylococcus warneri ATCC 836, Bacillus cereus RSKK 863, Enterococcus durans, Enterococcus faecium, Listeria innocua, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus mutans, Staphylococcus hominis, Staphylococcus haemolyticus, Staphylococcus lugdunensis, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Streptococcus pneumonia MDR, Staphylococcus aureus MRSA, Staphylococcus aureus MRSA+MDR, Enterobacter aerogenes ATCC 13048, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Pseudomonas aeruginosa DSMZ 50071, Pseudomonas fluorescens P1 , Salmonella enteritidis ATCC 13076, Salmonella typhimurium SL 1344, Shigella flexneri RSKK 184, Acinetobacter baumannii CECT 9111, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Salmonella infantis, Salmonella kentucky, Escherichia coli, Shigella boydi, Acinetobacter baumannii, Shigella flexneri, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli MDR, Klebsiella pneumoniae MDR, Acinetobacter baumannii MDR, Enterobacter aerogenes MDR, Serratia odorifera MDR, Proteus vulgaris MDR, Providencia rustigianii MDR, Achromobacter sp. MDR, Candida tropicalis, Candida glabrata, and Candida albicans DSMZ 1386 by using the disk diffusion method. It is observed that ethanol extract of endemic Galanthus trojanus has no antimicrobial activity against some microorganisms tested.
