Abstract
Pomegranate juice is a fruit juice that we consume in our daily life, and it is known that the pomegranateis very useful for health. In this study, it was aimed to determine the antibacterial activity of pomegranate juicewhich is commercially purchased and consumed against different Gr (+) and Gr (-) bacteria and its potentialsynergistic 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 pomegranatejuice 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. Whenpomegranate juice and Ampicillin were applied together, it was seen that they formed the zone diameter between20.11-21.14 mm. When ponegranate juice and Gentamicin were applied together, they exhibited the inhibitionzones between 26.36-28.94 mm. These results showed that pomegranate juice exhibited the synergistic effect withboth of the standard antibiotics. The results of this study demostrated that pomegranate juice exhibited the highantibacterial activity against test bacteria used in this study. In addition, it is also important that pomegranate juiceshowed a synergistic effect when used with antibiotics tested in this study.
