This study was conducted to investigate the antimicrobial activity of Prunus mume extracts. Prunus mume extracts have growth inhibitory activity to various microorganisms. Gram positive bacteria such as Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtilis, Micrococcus leteus, Staphylococcus epidrimidis were more easily inhibited than Gram negative bacteria tested Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Salmonella typhimurium, Escherichia coli, Proteus vulgaris and Yeasts by Prunus mume extracts. Among several fractions of methanol extract, EtOAc & BuOH fractions were showed strong antibacterial activities, but those fractions were not showed on fungi.
