Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the antimicrobial activities of ethanol extracts of five plants containing furanocoumarins. Antimicrobial activities of ethanol extracts of Astrodaucus orientalis (L.) Drude, Bifora radians Bieb., Conium maculatum L., Crithmum maritimum L., Daucus carota L., and standard furanocoumarins (umbelliferone, xanthotoxin, and bergapten) were tested against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans using a microdilution method. The minimum inhibition dilution (MID) values of the extracts were determined. Astrodaucus orientalis showed the highest antibacterial activity.
