Abstract
The antimicrobial activity of an ethanol extract obtained from above ground parts of Artemisia dracunculus L. (Asteraceae) is established for Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa) bacteria, as well as a fungus (Candida albicans) The highest antimicrobial activity of extract was observed with S. aureus and С. albicans. An extract of A. dracunculus increased in 8 times value of minimal inhibitive concentration and minimal bactericidal/fungicidal concentration for S. aureus of ethyl alcohol (40%), in 2 times – bacteriostatic and bactericidal for E. coli, in 2 times – bacteriostatic effect for P. aeruginosa, in 8 times – fungicidal effect for C. albicans. The result shows a need of further pharmacological studies of A. dracunculus as a source for new antimicrobial drugs.
