Antibacterial Activity of Punica granatum Linn.

In this study, the antimicrobial effect of bitter almond (Amygdalus nana L.) and sweet almond (Amygdalus trichamygdalus) extract were investigated. The extracts of the sweet almond which plants collected from Diyarbakır Ergani district and the extracts of the bitter almond which plants collected from Van Tuşba district. The almonds dissolved in deionized water, alcohol, and ether. Fungus, gram positive and gram negative bacteria were used as pathogens in this study. The effects of the extracts on pathogens were determined by using the disk diffusion method. According to the zones that were formed by almond extract against bacteria; The highest inhibitory effect of the extract of Amygdalus nana L. (Bitter Almond) showed the highest inhibitory effect on Enterococcus faecalis and the extract of Amygdalus trichamygdalus (Sweet Almond) on Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli.

In this study, pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) peel, large and small fruits of cocklebur (Xanthium strumarium L.), german chamomile (Anthemis nobilis L.) flower, may chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla L.) flower, red pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) seed, green pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) seed extracts and solid silver were investigated about antibacterial effects. At the end of the study, Xanthium strumarium L. extracts showed more antibacterial zones about 166.6% on Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922) and 70% on Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 29213) compared to the control. In bacteria spreading from the oral flora, the highest antibacterial effects were observed in the Xanthium strumarium L. and colloidal silver which had 166.6% more antibacterial zones compared to the control. The antibacterial effects of surgical mask samples containing plant extracts were investigated and it was determined that the sample containing the Xanthium strumarium L. extract provided 39% less bacterial growth than the control.

In the present study, the antimicrobial activities of methanol extracts obtained from the flowers of Muscari neglectum, Punica granatum, Tussilago farfara, Taraxacum officinale, Wisteria sinensis, Syringa vulgaris, Cyclamen coum, Chaenomeles speciosa, Ornithogalum umbellatum, Allium siculum, Viburnum tinus and Eryngium bithynicum were evaluated. The flower extracts with methanol were prepared in soxhlet device. The evaluation process of the antimicrobial activities was performed using the disc diffusion method. The highest antimicrobial activity has been detected at the strain of S. aureus. The detected inhibition zone diameters of the flower extracts were evaluated to be 15.5 mm for V. tinus, 15 mm for E. bithynicum and 14.5 mm for P. granatum. It has also been found that the flower extracts of C. coum and M. neglectum only effect the C. albicans strain. The flowers of P. granatum has been found to be effective on all the test microorganisms. The extracts obtained from W. sinensis, T. farfara, T. officinale and O. umbellatum have no antimicrobial effect on any test microorganisms. It was found that 7 of the 12 plant species used in the study showed antimicrobial activity. In our study, it was observed that the extracts obtained from flowers were also effective in inhibiting microorganisms. To our knowledge, this is the first study to elucidate the antimicrobial activity of E. bithynicum, V. tinus and A. siculum's flowers and our results how that the flowers of these species have the potential that can be used as antimicrobial natural sources.
