Antimicrobial activity of Rhus coriaria L. leaf extract

The antibacterial activity of Rhus coriaria leaf methanol extract was assayed against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria; antimycotic activity was assayed against some Candida species. MICs were determined by a broth microdilution assay in microlitre plates using Mueller–Hinton medium. MBCs were determined by plating 0.01 mL samples from clear 1 mL tubes onto agar plates. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
