چکیده
From our research we noticed that Acanthi balcanici herba (ABH) contains luteolin and quercetol and Myrtillus fructus (M-fr) contains chlorogenic acid, apigenol and rutoside. ABH has no antibacterial effect on any species tested, completely cancel the therapeutic effect of three drugs (amoxicillin + clavulanic acid, levofloxacin, amikacin) and have no significant effect on the other two antibiotics (cefotaxime and ceftazidime) when they are associated. All bacterial species were sensitive to M-fr and the extract has synergistic effect in combination with levoflaxacin, amikacin and cefotaxime.
