Abstract
Here we report on the antimicrobial activity of some polar extracts of Ruscus aculeatus (MeOH, EtOAc and BuOH herb extracts and MeOH rhizome extract), the MeOH extracts of the R. hypoglossum and R. alexandrinus herbs, as well as of some compounds previously isolated from these Ruscus extracts (rutin, p-coumaric, caffeic, and dimethoxycinnamic acid) [1]. The modified microdilution technique [2,3] was used for testing on eight bacterial strains: Escherichia coli (ATCC 35210), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 27853), Salmonella typhimurium (ATCC 13311), Enterobacter cloacae (humane isolate), Listeria monocytogenes (NCTC 7973), Bacillus cereus (humane isolate), Micrococcus flavus (ATCC 10240), Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538), and five fungi: Aspergillus versicolor (ATCC 11730), Aspergillus niger (ATCC 6275), Aspergillus fumigatus (ATCC 9142), Penicillium funiculosum (ATCC 36839), and Trichoderma viride (IAM 5061).
