Özet

In this study, antimicrobial activity of various extracts prepared from Rana macrocnemis skin secretion were tested against the microorganisms by disc diffusion method. Bacillus cereus, B. subtilis, Escherichia coli, Proteus vulgaris, Sarcina lutea, Enterobacter aerogenes, Salmonella typhimurium, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans were used as test microorganisms. According to our results, the extracts prepared from Rana macrocnemis skin secretion have antimicrobial activity against the tested microorganisms. ©2011 Academic Journals.
