Preliminary screening showed inhibition against Staphylococcus aureus, Micrococcus luteus, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The thin layer chromatograms of the fractions were then subjected to contact bioautography, which showed inhibition zone at different Rf values against Bacillus subtilis, Micrococcus luteus, Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, indicating the presence of antibacterial components. The MIC of each fraction was determined through a 96-well micro-titer plate method. The non-viability of the organisms was ascertained by determining the MBC of the fractions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/molecules14031332","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,3,26]],"date-time":"2009-03-26T13:02:18Z","timestamp":1238072538000},"page":"1332-1341","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":39,"title":["Antibacterial Activities of Dodonaea viscosa using Contact Bioautography Technique"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Muhammad","family":"Khurram","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1-Department of Microbiology, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan"},{"name":"2-Medicinal Botanical Centre, PCSIR Laboratories, University Road, Peshawar, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Murad Ali","family":"Khan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2-Medicinal Botanical Centre, PCSIR Laboratories, University Road, Peshawar, Pakistan"},{"name":"3-Department of Chemistry, Kohat University of Science and Technology, Kohat-26000 Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abdul","family":"Hameed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1-Department of Microbiology, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Naz","family":"Abbas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2-Medicinal Botanical Centre, PCSIR Laboratories, University Road, Peshawar, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abdul","family":"Qayum","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"4-Department of Pharmacology, Peshawar Medical College, Warsak road, Peshawar Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Humaira","family":"Inayat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"5-Institute of Chemical Sciences, University of Peshawar, Peshawar Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,3,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"564","DOI":"10.1128\/CMR.12.4.564","article-title":"Plant Products as Antimicrobial Agents","volume":"12","author":"Cowan","year":"1999","journal-title":"Clin.
