Biological activity of ellagic acid toward some pathogenic strains bacteria (Staphylococcus epidermatis, Bacillus cereus, Klebsiella pneumonia and Salmonella typhi) was studied. The investigation was conducted using plate-agar method. Gentamycin and streptomycin were used as standard drugs. The results show that the biological activity of ellagic acid was more effective than gentamycin and streptomycin.Also, the minimum effective dose of ellagic acid was found to be 0.15 mg|ml, while the minimum effective doses of gentamycin and streptomycin were 0.3 mg|ml and 2 mg|ml, respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
