Investigation into antimicrobial activities of methanolic extracts of ardiç (juniperus communis), atkuyruğu (equisetum arvense), yildiz anason (illicium verum) and üvez (cormus domestica)

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, ardıç(Juniperus communis), atkuyruğu(Equisetum arvense), yıldızanason(İllicium verum) ve üvez (Cormus domestica)'nin metanol ekstraklarınınantimikrobiyal aktiviteleri belirlenmiştir. Ekstraktlar Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923),Listeria monocytogenes (ATCC 15313), Saccharomyces cerevisiae (ATCC 9763),Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922) ve Salmonella typhimurium (ATCC 14028)mikroorganizmalarına karşı test edildi. Ardıç (Juniperus communis) metanol ektraktınınStaphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli ve Listeria monocytogenes' a karşı inhibisyon zonu18 mm, 8 mm ve 18 mm bulundu. Atkuyruğu(Equisetum arvense) metanol ektraktınınStaphylococcus aureus ve Salmonella typhimurium'a karşı inhibisyon zonu 9 mm ve 10 mmbulundu. Yıldız anason(İllicium verum)'un metanol ektraktının Staphylococcus aureus,Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella typhimurium, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae karşıinhibisyon zonu 15 mm, 19 mm, 11 mm, 18 mm ve 18 mm bulundu. Üvez yapraklarının(Cormus domestica) metanol ektraktının Staphylococcus aureus ve Salmonella typhimuriumkarşı inhibisyon zonu 12 mm, 12 mm bulundu. Böylece ilaçlara alternatif olarak tibbibitkilerin kullanılması önerilebilir ve bazı geleneksel bitkiler, antimikrobiyaller olarak dakullanılabilir.Anahtar Kelimeler: Antimikrobiyal aktivite, ardıç (Juniperus communis), atkuyruğu(Equisetum arvense), yıldız anason (Illicium verum) ve üvez (Cormus domestica)

This study aimed to determine antimicrobial activities of methanolic extracts of ardıç(Juniperus communis), atkuyruğu (Equisetum arvense), yıldız anason (Illicium verum) andüvez (Cormus domestica). The extracts were tested against Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC25923), Listeria monocytogenes (ATCC 15313), Saccharomyces cerevisiae (ATCC 9763),Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922) and Salmonella typhimurium (ATCC 14028)microorganisms. Inhibition zones of Ardıç (Juniperus communis) methanolic extract againstStaphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Listeria monocytogenes were measured andfound as 18 mm, 8 mm, and 18 mm respectively. Inhibition zones of Atkuyruğu (Equisetumarvense) methanolic extract against Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella typhimurium weremeasured and found to be 9 mm and 10 mm, respectively. Inhibition zones of Yıldız anason(İllicium verum) methanolic extract against Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes,Salmonella typhimurium, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae were measured and found to be 15mm, 19 mm, 11 mm, 18 mm and 18 mm, respectively. Inhibition zones of Üvez leaves(Cormus domestica) methanolic extract against Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonellatyphimurium were measured and found to be 12 mm, and 12 mm, respectively. Due to theincrease of microorganisms with multiple antibiotic resistance in recent years, the treatmentof the infection caused by these microbes has become increasingly complicated. Thus, it isrecommended to use medicinal plants as an alternative to medicines, and some traditionalherbs are also used as antimicrobials.Keywords: Antimicrobial activity, ardıç (Juniperus communis), atkuyruğu (Equisetumarvense), yıldız anason (Illicium verum), üvez (Cormus domestica)
