✦ Synopsis
The antibacterial activity of Rhus coriaria leaf methanol extract was assayed against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria; antimycotic activity was assayed against some Candida species. MICs were determined by a broth microdilution assay in microlitre plates using Mueller-Hinton medium. MBCs were determined by plating 0.01 mL samples from clear 1 mL tubes onto agar plates.
