Özet:

 


The present study describes the antimicrobial
activity of the leaf, seed, seed coat and fruit capsule of horse-chestnut (Aesculus
hippocastanum, L.) extracts from the Ordu Province of Turkey. These
extracts were first prepared with ethanol solvent. The antimicrobial activity
of the extracts was then assessed using the disc diffusion method against 7
bacteria and 1 yeast. The antimicrobial test results revealed that each the
crude extracts of A. hippocastanum exhibited very weakly possess
antibacterial activity in the case of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative
bacteria. The most sensitive microorganism to A. hippocastanum
samples were Proteus vulgaris and Listeria monocytogenes. The
results presented in this paper suggest the possibility that A.
hippocastanum possesses a new antimicrobial compound that has a weakly
effect against some Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, but did not
against fungi.
