Abstract:

This experiment studied on antimicrobial characteristics of flavone extract from Cydonia oblonga Mill with water or 70% ethanol. The results showed that flavone extracts could inhibit the growth of bacteria. Among the five bacteria tested, the best antibacterial effect was against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Ethanol extracts had better antibacterial effects than water extracts. It is believed that Cydonia oblonga Mill could be developed into a new type of antimicrobial drugs in the future.

Key words: Cydonia oblonga Mill, extract, flavone, antibacterial effect
