Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the antibacterial activity Xanthium strumarium L. extract against bacteria causing eye disease and to examine the possibility as a natural preservative on behalf of synthetic preservatives which are added to the contact lens solution. Methods: Antibacterial activity of Xanthium strumarium L. extract against the bacteria causing eye disease was assessed using agar diffusion method, and determined by whether clear zone was formed around paper disc and in terms of the size(mm) of clear zone.Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were used in the study. Results: Xanthium strumarium L. extract provided activity against Staphylococcus aureus KCCM 40050 in a concentration of
목적: 이 논문은 안질환세균에 대한 도꼬마리 추출물의 항균활성을 알아보아 콘택트렌즈 관리용액에 첨가되어 있는 합성보존제를 대체할 천연 보존제로서의 가능성을 제시하기 위함이다. 방법: 안질환세균에 대한 도꼬마리 추출물의 항균활성은 한천 확산법(agar diffusion test)으로 측정했으며, 항균활성은 종이원반(paper disc) 주위의 선명지대(clear zone)의 생성유무와 선명지대(clear zone)의 크기(mm)로서 알아보았다. 실험에 사용한 세균은 포도상구균 (Staphylococcus)과 녹농균(Pseudomonas)이었다. 결과: Staphylococcus aureus KCCM 40050에 대한 도꼬마리 추출 물
