Blood agar and EMB, Mollerhinton agar culture medium was also used for antibiogram test.Garlic extract was purchased commercially from Elixir Technological Test Company and antibiotic extract was prepared from the above disk.:
  • Results: In this study,it was observed that 35 samples (70%) of the samples were sensitive to garlic extract (Sensitive).10 samples (20%) had moderate sensitivity (Intermediat) and 5 samples (10%) were resistant to the case substance. Our opinion was garlic extract.
  • Conclusion: Nowadays, due to the excessive use of antibiotics has caused bacterial drug resistance and one of the ways to solve this problem can be the use of drugs based on plant extracts, which we also found in this study that garlic extract can be combined with other drugs Be used therapeutically.
