Abstract

Pomegranate juice is a fruit juice that we consume in our daily life, and it is known that the pomegranate is very useful for health. In this study, it was aimed to determine the antibacterial activity of pomegranate juice which is commercially purchased and consumed against different Gr (+) and Gr (-) bacteria and its potential synergistic effect when it is used together with antibiotics. For this purpose, pomegranate juice branded “meySu”, which was purchased commercially, was used. According to results, Ampicillin, Gentamicin and pomegranate juice exhibited different antibacterial effects against test bacteria (7.64-9.23, 22.26-22.98 and 19.07-20.14 mm, respectively). It was observed that pomegranate juice had the higher antibacterial effect than Ampicillin. When pomegranate juice and Ampicillin were applied together, it was seen that they formed the zone diameter between 20.11-21.14 mm. When ponegranate juice and Gentamicin were applied together, they exhibited the inhibition zones between 26.36-28.94 mm. These results showed that pomegranate juice exhibited the synergistic effect with both of the standard antibiotics. The results of this study demostrated that pomegranate juice exhibited the high antibacterial activity against test bacteria used in this study. In addition, it is also important that pomegranate juice showed a synergistic effect when used with antibiotics tested in this study.
