DETERMINATION OF BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY OF CYNARA SCOLYMUS L. ROOT EXTRACT AGAINST HARMFUL MICROORGANISMS IN THE TERRITORY OF UZBEKISTAN

The biologic activity of extracts obtained from the leaves of Cynara scolymus L., belonging to the Asteraceae family, using ethyl alcohol and low polar solvents, was investigated against Gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 and Bacillus subtilis RKMUz-5), Gram-negative bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27879 and Escherichia coli RKMUz-221), and yeast (Candida albicans RKMUz-247). As a result of the research, it was found that extracts obtained using ethyl alcohol exhibited high activity against Gram-positive bacteria
