ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY OF AGARICUS BISPORUS AND PLEUROTUS OSTREATUS EXTRACTS AGAINST SOME GRAM NEGATIVE AND POSITIVE BACTERIA
Journal Title: European Journal of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 12
Abstract
The present study focused on the evaluation of Agaricus bisporus and Pleurotus ostreatus activity against two clinical isolates Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The cold water and hot water extract of Agaricus bisporus and Pleurotus ostreatus showed maximum inhibition at 75% concentration against S. aureus and E. cole respectively. Ethanol, chloroform and acetone mushroom extracts of Agaricus bisporus and Pleurotus ostreatus at the highest concentration (75%) caused highest reduction of growth for S. aureus and E. cole.
