ABSTRACT

Mushrooms are known for their nutritional and medical values. The present study aimed to investigate antimicrobial activity of methanolic extract and its fractionation of Hypsizygus ulmarius (Bull.) fruiting bodies. Agar well diffusion method was used. The tested bacteria included Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923) and Staphylococcus epidermidis (S. epidermidis) and one fungal species Candida albicans (C. albicans). Methanolic extract showed activity to S. aureus, MRSA and C. albicans while its fractions showed activity to S. aureus (petroleum ether fraction), S. aureus and MRSA (ethyl acetate fraction). Keywords: Antimicrobial, Methanolic extract, Petroleum ether fraction, Ethyl acetate fraction, MIC, MBC, MFC
