The increase in the number of diseases that threaten human health in the world
causes the need to create new pharmacological drugs to expand year by year. In this
regard, the use of natural compounds of plants and their synthetic analogues in the field
of pharmaceuticals opens up wide opportunities. In this study the antimicrobial
activities of the extracts obtained from 16 endemic plants belonging to the Asteraceae
against Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis), Gram
negative bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli) and yeast (Candida
albicans) were studied. According to obtained results, ethyl alcoholic extracts were
more active compered low polar solvents extracts. Moreover, Achillea filipendulina,
Cynara scolymus, Artemisia leucodes, Artemisia annua, Erigeron canadensis,
Handelia trichophylla, Lactuca sp., Onopordum acanthium and Tragopogon malicus
extracts showed different levels of activity.
