Abstract :In this study, the antimicrobial activity of Physalis peruviana L. was investigated. The antimicrobial activity was evaluated according to the microdilution method by using Bacillus megaterium DMS 32, Pseudomonas aeruginosa DMS 50071, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Klebsiella pneumoniae FMC 5, Proteus vulgaris FMC 1, Enterobacter aeregenes CCM 2531, Candida albicans FMC 17, Candida globrata ATCC 66032, Candida tropicalis ATCC 13803, Trichophyton sp. and Epidermaphyton sp. In the end of experimental studies, the fruit juice extract of P. peruviana was inhibited the growth of microorganisms used in the test at different ration. MIC values of fruit juice was determined as 3.125- 25 µl.Keywords : Antimicrobial activity, P. peruviana, medicinal plant, test microorganisms
