| description | Quercetin is a polyphenolic flavonoid with potential chemoprotective properties. In the present work its antibacterial properties were studied against <em>Staphylococcus</em> <em>aureus</em>, <em>Escherichia coli</em>, <em>Shigella flexneri</em>,<em> Proteus vulgaris,</em> P<em>seudomonas aeruginosa</em>, <em>Lactobacillus</em> <em>casei</em> <em>var</em> <em>shirota</em> by broth dilution method. Quercetin inhibited <em>S. aureus</em>,<em> P. aeruginosa</em> at concentration 20 mcg/mL while <em>P. vulgaris</em> and<em> E. coli</em> were inhibited at concentration 300 mcg/mL and 400 mcg/mL respectively. <em>Shigella</em> <em>flexneri</em> and <em>Lactobacillus casei var shirota</em> were completely indifferent even at concentration of 500 mcg/mL. |
