Antimicrobial activity of Viscum album L. subsp. abietis (Viesb)

Viscum album L. subsp. abietis (Wiesb.) (Loranthaceae) bitkisi tedavi için geleneksel tıpta yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Bu bitki örnekleri Türkiye'nin kuzey kısmında yer alan Artvin yöresinden toplandı. N-hekzan ekstraktının farklı konsantrasyonları Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacter cloacae ve Proteus vulgaris bakterileri ile Candida albicans mantarı'na karşı agar difuzyon tekniği kullanılarak test edildi. V. album subsp. abietis bitkisinin n-hekzan ekstraktının altıncı ve yedinci fraksiyonlarının test edilen mikroorganizmalara karşı antimikrobiyal aktivite gösterdiği belirlendi.

Viscum album L. subsp. abietis (Wiesb)' in antimikrobiyal aktivitesi

Viscum albumL. subsp. abietis(Wiesb.) (Loranthaceae) is extensively used for treatment in traditional medicine. This plant was collected in the region of Artvin, northern Turkey. Different concentrations of n-hexane extract were tested using the agar diffusion technique against 6 bacteria ( Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacter cloacae and Proteus vulgaris), and 1 fungus ( Candida albicans). We determined that fractions 6 and 7 of n-hexane extract of V. albumsubsp. abietis showed antimicrobial activity against the micro-organisms tested.
