Objectives: This study aimed to determine the antibacterial effects of peptide-modified carvacrol on Staphylococcus epidermidis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Methods: Using disk diffusion and MIC methods, the antibacterial activity of peptide-modified carvacrol against Staphylococcus epidermidis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa was evaluated. Results: The modified carvacrol demonstrated growth inhibition diameters of 25mm and 20mm against Staphylococcus epidermidis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa using the disk diffusion method. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against Staphylococcus epidermidis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa was 1 g/ml and 0.51 g/ml, respectively. Conclusion: Peptide-modified carvacrol displays antibacterial effects.}, keywords = {antibacterial,Modified carvacrol,Staphylococcus epidermidis,Pseudomonas aeruginosa}, url = {https://www.nclinmed.com/article_154681.html}, eprint = {https://www.nclinmed.com/article_154681_34d20ed55a582ad41888bbc23b46599e.pdf} }
