Abstract
The importance of boron for human life is increasing day by day, and its usage areas are gradually expanding thanks to the developing science and technology. In the present study, antifungal and antimicrobial effects of ammoniumbiborate, lithiummetaboratedehydrate and potassiumtetraborate were investigated. Disc difussion metod was used for determine antimicrobial and antifungal effects. In the study streptomycin standart discs were used as positive control. Boron compounds were showed antimicrobial and antifungal effects on Enterococcus faecalis (ATCC 29212), Streptococcus pyogenes (ATCC 19615), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 27853), Enterobacter aerogenes (ATCC 13048), Escherichia coli (ATCC 35218), Proteus mirabilis (ATCC 7002), Candida tropicalis (ATCC13803), Citrobacter freundii (ATCC 8090), Bacillus subtilis (ATCC6633), Burkholderia Cepacia (ATCC25608).
