[Antibacterial effects of Persian Gulf Scomberomorus commerson liver oil]

ABSTRACT

Investigation of antibacterial effects of Persian Gulf Scomberomotus commerson liver oil. Experimental study. Five adult Persian Gulf Scomberomorus commerson. Antibacterial effects of the chloroform and n-butanol extracted liver oil were tested by agar diffusion test and determination of MIC [Minimum inhibitory concentration]. The test organisms were four ATCC [American Tissue Type Culture Collection] standard Laboratory bacteria [Escherichia Coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Bucillus subtilis]. Descriptive study. Both fractions had significant antibacterial effects on S.aureus and B. subtilis. Antibacterial effects of the n-butanol extract were wider and were effective against E.coli and P.aeroginosa
