Lehm. have been investigated for their antimicrobial activity. Antimicrobial activity was determined with Escherichia coli ATCC 11230, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538P, Klebsiella pneumoniae UC57, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853, Proteus vulgaris ATCC 8427, Bacillus cereus ATCC 7064, Mycobacterium smegmatis CCM 2067, Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 15313, Micrococcus luteus CCM 169, Candida albicans ATCC 10231, Rhodotorula rubra DSM 70403, and Kluyveromyces fragilis ATCC 8608 by the disk diffusion method. The extracts of all Scrophulariaceae members used in this study had strong antimicrobial activity against the Gram-positive bacteria and yeast cultures. © 2005 Taylor & Francis Ltd.EnglishBacillus cereusCandida albicansEscherichia coliKlebsiella pneumoniaeKluyveromyces marxianusListeria monocytogenesMicrococcus luteusMycobacterium smegmatisPedicularisPosibacteriaProteus vulgarisPseudomonasPseudomonas aeruginosaRhodotorula mucilaginosaScrophulariaScrophulariaceaeStaphylococcus aureusVerbascumVeronica lycicaantiinfective agentmethanolPedicularis olympica extractplant extractScrophularia cryptophila extractScrophularia mersinensis extractscrophulariaceae extractunclassified drugVerbascum bellum extractVerbascum dalamanicum extractVerbascum protractum extractVeronica lycica extractantibacterial activityantifungal activityantimicrobial activityarticleBacillus cereusbacterium cultureCandida albicanscontrolled studydrug isolationdrug screeningEscherichia colifungus cultureGram positive bacteriumKlebsiella pneumoniaeKluyveromyceskluyveromyces fragilisListeria monocytogenesMicrococcus luteusminimum inhibitory concentrationMycobacterium smegmatisnonhumanPedicularisProteus vulgarisPseudomonas aeruginosaRhodotorulaScrophulariaceaeStaphylococcus aureustechniqueTurkey (republic)VerbascumVeronicaArticle10.1080/13880200590928870
