Abstract

In this study, the antimicrobial activity of Pistacia terebinthus L. and Papaver rhoeas L. extracts were tested against some pathogen microorganisms. Leaves of the plant samples were freeze-dried and powdered. Three solvents were used for extraction. The agar well diffusion method is used for the antimicrobial activities of extracts. Six different bacteria, two yeasts, and two molds were used. The extracts of P. terebinthus L. was found more effect than P. rhoeas L. extracts against tested bacteria and fungi pathogens.
