Determination of Antimicrobial Activity of Nasturtium officinale and Its Content of Volatile Organic Compounds and Fatty Acids

Due to the side effects of antibiotics used in treatment diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria, and antibiotic resistance that develops due misuse antibiotics, scientists have turned search for alternative antimicrobial compounds. Plants compounds plants are widely researched because they natural been a familiar resource field complementary medicine centuries. In this study, activities methanol water extracts Nasturtium officinale prepared at different concentrations were investigated on gram-positive gram-negative fungi disc diffusion method. addition, volatile organic compound fatty acidcontent plant determined. For purpose, acids determined converting them methyl esters GC-FID (gas chromatography flame ionization detector), SPME (Solid-phase microextraction) method GC-MS chromatography-mass spectrometry). amounts components parts shown comparatively within scope research. According results obtained; it was revealed has an effect Bacillus megaterium, Escherichia coli, Candida albicans, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Spizizenii, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. The showed stronger effect, especially P. C. Albicans, E. coli. It also important essential as well many components. analyzes made, main component alpha-Terpinolene.
