Abstract
Scorpion venom, found in the telsons of scorpions, is a neurotoxic secretion consisting of numerous proteins, peptides, and biologically active compounds, and it is commonly used in catching and digesting prey. The peptides within scorpion venoms hold significant pharmacological importance, particularly in the fields of cancer treatment, analgesics, and anesthesia. In recent years, bacteria developing resistance to antibiotics drew a significant level of interest. The present study investigates the antibacterial activity of the venom obtained from Aegaeobuthus gibbosus (Brulle, 1832). The antibacterial effects were observed by applying crude venom by using the dripping method on Escherichia coli, Proteus vulgaris, and Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteria in suitable environments. As a result, it was determined that the venom of Aegaeobuthus gibbosus is effective against Escherichia coli, Proteus vulgaris, and Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteria.
