Abstract

It was aimed to examine the antimicrobial activities of the aqueous-methanol extract of the Paronychia kurdica Boiss. subsp. kurdica var. kurdica on Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and fungal microorganisms. The plant taxon is collected from cultivated material in Medicinal and Aromatic Plants Garden of Inonu University Faculty of Pharmacy. The aerial parts were powdered and extracted with methanol. The samples were tested at a concentration of 800-1,56 µg/ml against the standard culture collections of Gram negative bacteria (Acinetobacter baumannii, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa), Gram positive (Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)) and Candida species fungal strains (C. albicans and C. glabrata). P.kurdica extract was found to be more effective against Gram-positive bacteria than Gram-negative bacteria. Its effect on our fungal strains was found to be similar to Gram-positive bacteria. Globally, this paper is the first antimicrobial activity report of Paronychia kurdica Boiss. subsp. kurdica var. kurdica.
