Abstract
Polygodial was found to possess moderate antibacterial activity against gram‐positive bacteria including Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus and gram‐negative bacteria including Escherichia coli and Salmonella choleraesuis with minimum bactericidal concentrations (MBC) of 100 and 100 µg/mL (0.34 mm) and 100 and 50 µg/mL, respectively. The time kill curve study showed that polygodial was bactericidal against B. subtilis and S. choleraesuis. However, there was a difference in its bactericidal action against endospore‐forming B. subtilis and food‐borne S. choleraesuis. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
