Abstract

This study was carried out to investigate the antimicrobial activity of Rumex crispus development of antibiotics derived from natural products. To confirm antimicrobial activity, paper disc method and growth inhibition in liquid culture were applied. Antimicrobial activity was observed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Vibrio vulificus, Escherichia coli, Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, and Cαndida bombicola.
