Davis, Sideritis cilicica Boiss. & Bal., Sideritis vuralii H. Duman & Baser, Stachys aleurites Boiss. & Heldr., and Stachys pinardii Boiss. 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. Verbascum L. extracts had strong antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria and yeast cultures. The extracts of Stachys L. were effective only against bacteria. The extracts of Sideritis L. demonstrated antimicrobial effects against the bacteria and the yeast cultures used in this study. © 2005 Taylor & Francis Ltd.EnglishAleuritesBacillus cereusCandida albicansEscherichia coliKlebsiella pneumoniaeKluyveromyces marxianusListeria monocytogenesMicrococcus luteusMycobacterium smegmatisPosibacteriaProteus vulgarisPseudomonasPseudomonas aeruginosaRhodotorula mucilaginosaSideritisSideritis vuraliiStachysStaphylococcus aureusVerbascummethanolSideritis aleueritis extractSideritis brevidens extractSideritis cilicica extractSideritis pinardii extractSideritis vuralii extractunclassified drugVerbascum cholorostegium extractVerbascum cymigerum extractVerbascum linguifolium extractVerbascum pellitum extractVerbascum pseudoholotrichum extractantimicrobial activityarticleBacillus cereusCandida albicansdiffusionEscherichia colifungus cultureKlebsiella pneumoniaeKluyveromycesListeria monocytogenesMicrococcus luteusMycobacterium smegmatisnonhumanProteus vulgarisPseudomonas aeruginosaRhodotorulaSideritisSideritis vuraliiStachysStachys aleuritesStachys pinardiiStaphylococcus aureusVerbascumVerbascum cholorostegiumVerbascum cymigerumVerbascum linguifoliumVerbascum pellitumVerbascum pseudoholotrichumArticle10.1080/13880200590928861
